From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the next episode of The Dropout.

The recently released series stars Amanda Seyfried as biotechnology entrepreneur and disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes.

In January 2022, Holmes was found guilty on three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud by misleading investors. The 38-year-old currently awaits sentencing. The Dropout chronicles Holmes’s rise and fall.

The first three episodes of the true-crime drama were released on Disney Plus on Friday (4 March), but viewers already want more.

The fourth episode of The Dropout – titled “Old White Men” – will air on Thursday (10 March) with new episodes being released weekly after that.

  • Episode five: “Flower of Life” on 17 March
  • Episode six: “Iron Sisters” on 24 March
  • Episode seven: “Heroes” on 31 March
  • Episode eight: “Lizzy” on 7 April

In a recent interview, Seyfried shed some light on why she did not meet with Holmes prior to playing her. The show’s team also explained why the makeup worn by Holmes’s character is intentionally awful.
