# Crime & Justice: Lagos Star, Folu Storms Lands Role in ‘Spiraling’
Crime & Justice: Lagos star, **Folu Storms**, has been selected to star alongside **Seun Ajayi** in Spiraling, **Wande Thomas**’ recently announced thriller series.
The series will be “rooted in the human psyche and how we react under pressure,” Director Wande Thomas said in a statement: “We wanted a cast that would elevate the material and bring nuanced performances. Folu Storms is a rising star — and an incredible choice for one of our leads.”
In developing this story with Wande, casting played a crucial role in our process. We reviewed at least a 100 tapes. Our casting director, **Daphne Akatugba** (Pages Casting), brought us some truly remarkable finds. One of those finds, she notes, is Storms.
Storms will portray a character who is faced with a series of impossible choices. “It’s a very substantial role,” Thomas said, “not just reactive, but active.”
Storms was most recently seen in *“Crime and Justice: Lagos”* and *“Cake.”* Thomas most recently directed *“The Smart Money Woman S2,”* and the festival-bound short film Don’t Swipe starring **Eso Dike** & **Ariyiike Owolagba**.
Wande Thomas and **Isoken Ogiemwonyi** developed the original story, with Thomas penning the screenplay. **Studio Ogiso**’s Isoken Ogiemwonyi will produce.
Storms is repped by **Working Talent Agency**.
