Finally, our prayers have been answered after an 11-year long wait as Veronica Mars TV series plans to make a comeback. After the three-season long period on both, UPN and The CW from 2004-2007, a follow-up feature film movie in 2014 and two books, a Veronica Mars series is reportedly in the works with an eight-episode limited series on Hulu.
A source told E! News, that the show’s revival is underway, with Kristen Bell returning on the scene as the self-appointed undercover investigator we all loved, with Rob Thomas once again directing the series.
Thomas had previously told E! News that, “We’re still working on it. We’re hopeful, it’s just finding the window where she’s available and I’m available is part of the trick and yeah, but spiritually we’re still very into it.”
He also added that if Veronica Mars were to make a return to TV that Kristen Bell would have to be involved in the production, “I can’t imagine doing it without Kristen in my professional lifetime. I mean, never say never, but I think if I’m not doing it with Kristen, it means that Kristen no longer wants to do it. And Kristen has said she’s willing to do it until it’s Murder, She Wrote. As long as she holds to that, then I think I want to keep doing the Kristen Bell version, if there’s an opportunity.”
Bell and Thomas also spoke to E! News and told them that her current series on NBC’s, The Good Place, would not be affected by the revival of Veronica Mars at all it was just a matter of working out a time to direct and produce the series between them.
