Yahoo News Riverdale star Marisol Nichols making TV series out of her real-life undercover sex-trafficking sting
Riverdale's Marisol Nichols will adapt her own real-life story of working undercover to expose sex traffickers into a TV series.
Known for her performance as Hermione Lodge in the CW series, Marisol revealed to Marie Claire back in April that she had been working with the FBI and other authorities in a number of child-sex stings across the globe for the past six years.
Her online undercover roles include posing as a parent pimping out her child, and pretending to be the 12-year-old being sold herself.
According to Deadline, her incredible work has now been optioned by Sony Pictures Television to be produced as a drama, with the actress herself possibly starring.
In her previous interview, Marisol claimed that people choose to ignore the hideousness of the dark web because they don't want to know about adults having sex with children.
"Your mind protects you from that much evil," she suggested, before warning: "If good people don't know about it, it will keep happening, because good people are the only ones who will do anything about it."

In other news, Marisol is also part of the Spiral: From the Book of Saw cast, which is now set for release in May 2021 after the coronavirus pandemic delayed it.
She'll star opposite Chris Rock and Samuel L Jackson.
Riverdale airs on The CW in the US. In the UK, it streams via Netflix.
