Ballers actress Arielle Kebbel to stir up trouble as flirty architect Gia Matteo in Fifty Shades Freed
She just played ruthless 'mean girl' Britney on popular, new Lifetime series UnREAL.
And it looks as if Arielle Kebbel will put those skills to use once again as Gia Matteo in Fifty Shades Freed, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The 30-year-old has just been cast as a flirty, trouble-making architect hired by Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) in the upcoming third film in E.L. James' series.
Here to cause trouble: Arielle Kebbel has signed on to play a flirty architect who makes Anastasia (Dakota Johnson) jealous in the upcoming Fifty Shades Freed (pictured in January)
She'll appear in the third film, which will focus on Christian and Anastasia Steele's (Dakota Johnson) relationship as it gets more serious.
Gia gets hired to build Ana and Christian's home, but her flirty behavior with Mr. Grey has a jealous Ana nicknaming her: 'Miss-Provocative-And-Unfortunately-Good-At-Her-Job.'
In addition to UnREAL, Arielle has also recently appeared on HBO's Ballers and Fox's new series The Grinder.

Meanwhile, Fifty Shades Freed, due out in February 2018, is reportedly being filmed back-to-back with the second movie in the series, Fifty Shades Darker.
The scripts for both films have been written by Niall Leonard, E.L. James' husband.
In Fifty Shades Darker Ana is faced with many of Christian's former flames, all while starting a new job.
Hell hath no fury: Fifty Shades Freed will reportedly be filming back-to-back with the second film in the series, Fifty Shades Darker, which just cast one of Christian's (Jamie Dornan) jilted ex-lovers, Bella Heathcote (pictured at the European Pride and Prejudice and Zombies premiere)
The plot thickens: Kim Basinger was also announced as having joined Fifty Shades Darker, as Elena Lincoln, the woman who introduced a 15-year-old Christian Grey to the world of sexual bondage, dominance, and submission (pictured in May)
Recently it was announced that Australian actress Bella Heathcote had been cast as Christian's jilted ex-lover Leila Williams.
Deadline reported last week that the 28-year-old star - who most recently appeared in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - would be joining Jamie, Dakota, and Rita Ora (as Christian's sister Mia) for the film that is set for release in 2017.
It was also announced last week that Kim Basinger will portray Elena Lincoln, the woman who introduced a 15-year-old Christian Grey to the world of sexual bondage, dominance, and submission.
Opening with a bang! The highly successful adaptation of the first novel in E.L. James' erotic series earned over $502m worldwide
As the second installment of the highly lucrative adaptations of E.L. James' erotic novel trilogy of the same name, Fifty Shades Darker picks up three days after the first novel finishes.
James Foley will replace Sam Taylor-Johnson as director, though producers Michael De Luca, Dana Brunetti, and James are returning.
