Question

How did Nathan Fielder use reenactments and Amanda Seyfried in the Holmes documentary?

Answered from This 3-hour Elizabeth Holmes doc broke our brains · My First Million · 2026-10-20

Once Holmes went to prison and could not be filmed, the hosts say Nathan Fielder used his trademark reenactments, rebuilding the prison interior with guards, inmates and vending machines. He also brought in Amanda Seyfried, who played Holmes in the Hulu series The Dropout, to watch the footage. The hosts say she voices what a typical viewer thinks and turns out to be quick to judge too.
