Showtime Picks up Kristen Bell's Comedy Series HOUSE OF LIES

Kristen Bell is returning to TV in a new comedy series that just got picked up by Showtime called House of Lies which will also star Don Cheadle. Bell is most famous for her role in the hit TV series Veronica Mars. If you haven't watched this show yet, it's time. The whole series is available on Instant Netflix. It's seriously a fantastic show. Since then she's starred in a handful of forgettable romantic comedies. 

The new series is based on "Martin Kihn’s hit tell-all book How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Tell You the Time. The story revolves around dueling corporate management consulting firms. Bell plays Jeannie, a razor-sharp Brown grad who reluctantly finds herself attracted to her co-worker Marty (Cheadle). The cast also includes Ben Schwartz (Undercovers), Josh Lawson (Romantically Challenged), Dawn Oliveri (Heroes) and Glynn Turman (In Treatment)."

This sounds like a perfect role for Bell to tackle, and it may end up being the best thing she's done since Veronica Mars. I'll be looking forward to watching this show.
