Lili Reinhart (“Riverdale”) is starring in the upcoming thriller, American Sweatshop. According to Deadline the film will explore the “dark side of the internet.”

“In a device driven world,” Deadline details, “American Sweatshop will take a look at the toll of social media through the eyes of Daisy Moriarty (Reinhart), who while dealing with a chaotic personal life, finds herself sucked into the underbelly of the internet.

“Moriarty, and a motley group of coworkers, toil in a cottage industry of agencies that evaluate harmful and offensive pictures and videos uploaded to social media. With detached caution and a deranged sense of humor, they examine the millions of posts that get ‘flagged for review.’

“But one particularly violent video grabs hold of Daisy, luring her out of this office, away from the safety of her keyboard and into a dangerous world as she obsessively seeks to hold someone accountable.”

Uta Briesewitz (“Stranger Things”) is directed from a screeplay by Matthew Nemeth (City On A Hill). Barry Levinson (Rain Man) and Tom Fontana (Oz) are producing.
