Nathan Fielder has unpacked his new documentary You Can See Everything, including an unexpected phone call he received from Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes from behind bars. The new A24 film is arguably the buzziest release of the past few months, earning the second best opening for a documentary at the domestic box office behind 2004’s Fahrenheit 9/11. Despite its limited release, people have been travelling far and wide to see it, with sellout screenings and queues out the door. Directed by Fielder and filmmaker Lance Oppenheim, the documentary follows the disgraced Theranos founder in the weeks before she began serving an 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors. The filmmakers were given extraordinary access to Holmes, her partner Billy Evans and their children, spending 34 days documenting the family’s life at their California home before she went to prison in May 2023. But what starts as a fairly straightforward documentary soon takes some unexpected turns. We won’t go any further to avoid spoiling it, but just know that it’s well worth your time. Given filming took place over a three-year period, Fielder is glad to see the finished product out in the world. Speaking to WIRED a few weeks prior to its release, the comedian revealed that he hadn’t heard from Holmes in over six months. But this has since changed. Nathan Fielder reveals prison update from Elizabeth Holmes Credit: A24 Fielder, who gave an update just before the film was released, told the outlet, “Actually – on Friday last week – I looked at my phone in the morning and saw I had two missed calls, and on the voicemail transcript it said that it was a call from the prison… “And then I saw on the thing, it says: You’re receiving a call from Elizabeth Holmes. And I have not heard from her. She has not called me in over six months. I have not heard from her in any way. But I missed the calls, and then as I was looking at my phone, a third call came in from the same number.” As for why she continued to ring, it’s because the recipient is unable to call back and so the inmate has to keep trying until they get a response. “So I answered the phone, and I said, ‘Hey, how’s it going?’ She asked how I was doing. I asked her if she had seen any stuff about the film coming out and how she felt about it all,” Fielder continued. “She told me that she had seen some stuff, but most things she just isn’t seeing, so she’s heard things, but she hasn’t really read anything. And then, at the end, she said to me – ‘I trust you.’” It appears this caught him off guard, and he’s still unsure what she meant. His response? “Okay, thanks.” “We talked about some other stuff. She talked about her kids, and then some updates that are not really my place to share. But then after that, she said again, at the end of the call – ‘I trust you.’ And I don’t know what she meant by that,” Fielder said. He explained that he doesn’t have the words to speculate what she meant, adding, “It’s in the context of a call that was out of the blue, and… I don’t know, I didn’t even know she had an ability to reach out to me anymore, because I haven’t heard anything.” Of course, Holmes is still serving time behind bars. But in a separate update, her expected release date has moved forward since she first entered prison in May 2023. Holmes’ prison sentence has been reduced Credit: A24 In September 2026, ABC News reported that Holmes had been approved to leave her current prison facility and move to a halfway house next year. The update came from the US Department of Justice’s Victim Notification System. The outlet reported that Holmes is scheduled to transfer to the Austin Transitional Center in Del Valle, Texas, on August 23, 2027. Holmes is currently serving her sentence at Federal Prison Camp Bryan, a minimum-security women’s prison in Texas, where she has been incarcerated since May 2023. The former Theranos CEO was convicted in January 2022 of three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, after misleading investors about the capabilities of her company’s blood-testing technology. She was originally sentenced to 11 years and three months behind bars. But in March 2026, US District Judge Edward Davila reduced her sentence by a year following changes to federal sentencing guidelines. But moving to a halfway house doesn’t mean she’ll be completely free. Also known as a residential reentry centre, it’s a supervised facility designed to help prisoners transition back into everyday life. Residents may be allowed to work, attend appointments and take part in activities outside the facility, but they must follow strict rules and remain under supervision. So, while Holmes is currently expected to leave her prison camp in August 2027, she’ll still be serving her sentence. Her projected release date is February 22, 2030, although that could change.
