The former Veronica Mars star has signed on to star in the upcoming Showtime pilot House of Lies.
The project stars Oscar-nominated actor Don Cheadle as Marty, a ruthless management consultant and Bell as Jeannie, an intelligent Brown graduate who ends up falling for him. Ben Schwartz, Josh Lawson, and Dawn Olivieri have all been cast in supporting roles.
In addition to her work on Veronica Mars, Bell previously appeared on NBC’s now-defunct supernatural drama Heroes and currently provides the voiceover narration for The CW teen soap Gossip Girl.
