Rob Thomas And Kristen Bell Want ‘Veronica Mars’ To Return As A ‘True Detective’-Like Limited Series

More on the possible Veronica Mars limited series after the jump.

TV Line asked Thomas about the possibility of a Veronica Mars return at Comic-Con. Asked if a second Veronica Mars movie could happen, Thomas responded, “I hope so. Kristen [Bell]’s game, I’m certainly game.” But, he quickly added, “We have nothing in the works.”

Then he dropped the intriguing idea of a “short-run series” about the no-longer-teenaged detective. “Like a Veronica Mars True Detective is really appealing to us, that sort of setup,” he suggested. For now, though, it’s only a dream. Thomas clarified that he hasn’t officially pitched the idea yet, as his new show iZombie has kept him busy.

If a Veronica Mars limited series ever happens, then, it won’t be for some time. While Thomas keeps away at iZombie, Bell is busy starring on Showtime’s House of Lies. And of course it’ll take some time to align schedules for the rest of that cast, since Neptune just wouldn’t be the same without Logan, Mac, Weevil, Wallace, Dick, Keith, etc.
