The Veronica Mars revival is official. Hulu has ordered eight new episodes of the hour-long drama for 2019, with Kristen Bell reprising her role as the titular character.
“BREAKING NEWS out of Mars Investigations!” Bell wrote on Twitter, alongside a 20-second video of the announcement. “Thank you to all the marshmallows for staying excited and to Hulu for giving Veronica a chance to wear her big girl pants.”
Here’s Hulu’s official logline for the new series:
Spring breakers are getting murdered in Neptune, thereby decimating the seaside town’s lifeblood tourist industry. After Mars Investigations is hired by the parents of one of the victims to find their son’s killer, Veronica is drawn into an epic eight-episode mystery that pits the enclave’s wealthy elites, who would rather put an end to the month-long bacchanalia, against a working class that relies on the cash influx that comes with being the West Coast’s answer to Daytona Beach.
