L.A. Confidential is billed as a modern take on James Ellroy’s novel — which was the basis of the 1997 feature film of the same name. In it the paths of three homicide detectives, a female reporter, and an up-and-coming actress intersect while the detectives pursue a sadistic serial killer among the secrets and lies of gritty, glamorous 1950s Los Angeles.

Arenas has been cast as June, a reporter for Hollywood scandal magazine Hush Hush. She is described as an excellent reporter trying to do good in a bad world.

Jordan Harper is writing the project, and he serves as executive producer alongside Arnon Milchan. Anna Fricke will serve as showrunner, with Michael Dinner set to direct and executive produce the pilot.

Arenas’ onscreen roles include the CBS drama BrainDead and Amazon’s Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams. She is also a member of the Steppenwolf Theatre Ensemble.
