HULU PICKS UP VERONICA MARS AND LANDS STREAMING RIGHTS TO COMPLETE SERIES IN NEW DEAL WITH WARNER BROS. TELEVISION GROUP
You heard it right; star and executive producer Kristen Bell confirmed Veronica Mars will return as part of the Hulu Originals slate in 2019. In addition, fans will be able to watch all past episodes of the series on Hulu beginning summer 2019.
The new series will consist of eight one-hour long episodes and is executive produced by Rob Thomas, Diane Ruggiero-Wright, and Dan Etheridge. Thomas also wrote the first episode. The new Veronica Mars is a Spondoolie Production in association with Warner Bros. Television, and joins other upcoming Hulu originals Ramy, Shrill, Four Weddings and a Funeral, and Catch-22.
As part of the deal, Hulu has also struck an agreement with Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution for SVOD rights to all past episodes of the original Veronica Mars. Fans can stream seasons 1-3, as well as the 2014 feature film, beginning in summer 2019.
In the new series, spring breakers are being 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.
