The cult favorite will return next year with all-new episodes.
September 20, 2018
It's official: Veronica Mars is returning to television. Hulu has ordered eight new episodes of the detective series with star Kristen Bell on-board to reprise her role as the titular character. A premiere is expected sometime in 2019.
The noir mystery drama first premiered 14 years ago, airing three seasons on UPN and The CW before being cancelled in 2007. While never a ratings standout, the series did amass a loyal fan base who, in 2013, helped fund a feature film via a Kickstarter campaign that accumulated over $5 million.
Created by Rob Thomas, Veronica Mars follows a young private investigator in the seaside town of Neptune, California. In the revival, Veronica is hired to investigate the recent murders of spring breakers in the community. The case will play out over the course of the season, with Neptune's wealthy elite butting heads with the working class folk, who feel the financial impact the murders are having on tourism.

About this!!!!
I don’t watch Hulu - regardless, it’s hard to imagine how a new series could be much like the original - high school teeny boppers - thankfully, it can’t -- oh wait, I’m not watching it anyway.I guess all it needs is Veronica, her dad, some bad rich people, gangs, and a small town. Hmmm ... seems a tad shaky. I think it should move to Hawaii - I hear the girls there are hot.
