Money Heist star Alba Flores has confirmed her next lead role, with the star set to re-team with one of the show's directors.
Best known for playing Ágata Jiménez (aka Nairobi) in the Netflix series, the actress will appear in and executive produce Ulterior, a new sci-fi thriller, according to Deadline.
The star will play a young singer and influencer called Ada who wakes up in a world where humans can virtually connect with a simulation of their own lives.

Ada must play along in order to return to her real life, while also unravelling the puzzle of the new existence with a mysterious stranger.
The movie comes from Money Heist director Alex Rodrigo and Vida Perfecta’s Manuel Burque, with producers Matt Brodlie and Jonathan Kier labelling it a "chilling and complex science fiction story".
“Manuel Burque and Alex Rodrigo have crafted a visionary and timely thriller and we’re excited to bring their distinct and authentic voices forward," they added.

Money Heist came to an end last year after three seasons, with Álvaro Morte speaking to Digital Spy and other press last year about concluding the show.
"In all the meanings of the word, the show is coming to an end when it had to come to an end. It’s the perfect time. We cannot squeeze the characters anymore, we've taken the best from them and I think it's a really smart decision to stop here," he said.
"I also think it's a way of giving the fans what they truly deserve. We could have squeezed it a bit more but we would have been running the risk of everything coming to shambles. So leaving at the peak is a present we give to our fans."
Ulterior is yet to confirm a release date.
Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) seasons 1-5B are now available to watch worldwide on Netflix. For more information on Money Heist: The Experience visit the official website, and you can check ticket availability for London here.
