Kristen Bell joins House of Lies

Bell joins Cheadle for new comedy series

Kristen Bell has joined the cast of Showtime’s new comedy pilot House of Lies.

The plot has been described as a subversive, scathing look at a self-loathing management consultant from a top-tier firm.

Bell will star alongside Don Cheadle (Iron Man 2) in the project. Cheadle will star as Marty, a highly successful, cutthroat consultant who is never above using any means (or anyone) necessary to get his clients the information they want. Bell will play Jeannie Van Der Hooven, a razor-sharp, Ivy-League graduate who works at Marty’s firm.
