Chrishell Stause seems to be gearing up to head back to her roots!

The 41-year-old, who has had her stint on the small screens with roles in "All My Children" and "Days Of Our Lives," has made quite a name for herself as one of the top real estate agents in Netflix's reality show "Selling Sunset." Although she loves appearing in front of the camera for real estate matters, the actress is now taking a giant step back to her former calling.

She captioned the post by writing that she was so excited about the role, which is "inspired by the best-selling true crime novel written by Ann Rule," explaining to her followers that they would get to see her in a different light in the movie. The movie is slated to debut sometime next year, according to PEOPLE, and will feature actors Colin Egglesfield and Laura Ramsey, amongst others. 

The movie follows the real-life crimes of the infamous serial wife-killer Randy Roth.

The actress's role in the flick is to play the best friend of the title character's wife, who brings the killer to justice through some major sleuthing. The film is produced by Bob Tinnell and Jeff Tinnell and is executive produced by Benjamin Anderson and Conor Allyn. 

Stause admitted in an interview with W Magazine that while she is great at real estate, she hopes to dip her feet into acting, adding that her nine-to-five career is not really her sole focus.

The 41-year-old is coming through with the receipts and is refusing to let anyone get away with creating drama.

The Blast reported that although some old faces will not be returning, drama already seems to be afoot with the appearance of some new faces. The author is no stranger to dealing with drama on the show, as fans would recall that most of the events that took place during her break-up and divorce from actor Justin Hartley were featured on the show. 

The "Body of Proof" guest star took her Instagram stories to rant about an unnamed co-star. The now-deleted story featured a picture of a luxurious beach house view, accompanied by a text that read, "The thirst for camera time in season 6 is REAL. Wow. That was insanity. But also SO transparent. Get your 15 mins. Girl, but leave my business out of it." 

She went a little deeper into her venting in the next slide, saying that she had proof in the form of screenshots for situations like these, adding that it seemed like the person she called fake only had issues when there were cameras around them. 

Stause concluded by warning the object of her ire not to attack people she cares about, adding that it seemed unfair considering that the tv personality supported the new member when they were added to the show. The caption ended with the "Days of Ours Lives" guest star telling her followers that she knows they are bright and would be able to notice those who she described as needing attention and willing to backstab others for more tv screen time.
