Kristen Bell will return as the titular detective in a Hulu series revival of Veronica Mars. Rob Thomas, who created the original UPN/CW show, will serve as writer for the mystery-drama, with Warner Bros. as the studio.
The deal is reportedly not finalized as of this writing, and no further casting or plot details have been reported. Among the matters complicating the deal is that Bell currently stars in the hit NBC comedy The Good Place.
The beloved show followed high school student (Bell) who became a very successful amateur sleuth after her best friend was murdered and her father was removed as County Sheriff in the fictional town of Neptune, located in Southern California.
The show premiered in 2004 on the UPN network where it ran for two seasons. It ran for a third season on the CW and was cancelled in 2007. In 2013 Bell and Thomas started a crowd-sourcing campaign to raise funds for a big screen version of the series and raised over $5m from fans. It broke the record for the fastest projectto reach $1m on Kickstarter hitting the mark in 4 hours, 24 minutes.
The film was released in 2014 and picks up several years after the TV series ended and sees private investigator Veronica return to her hometown of Neptune, California, to solve one last crime when her former high school flame Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring) is charged with murdering his girlfriend.
Thomas and Jennifer Graham have also written two novels based on the series, titled Veronica Mars: Mrs. Kiss and Tell and Veronica Mars: The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line. Thomas also created the CW Seed web series Play It Again, Dick in which Hansen played a fictionalized version of himself trying to convince his former cast mates to get onboard with a new spin-off series centered on his character, Dick Casablancas.
