While at Comic-Con to discuss his current CW show 'iZombie' on July 10, 'Veronica Mars' creator Rob Thomas discussed the possibility that his beloved teen girl detective show could make a comeback with its original star.
He considered the possibility of bringing Kristen Bell back for another turn as Neptune's favorite detective.
When he was asked whether fans could expect another 'Veronica Mars’ movie, like the one that was successfully Kickstarted for a 2014 release, "I hope so," Thomas replied. “Kristen’s game, I’m certainly game.”

Kristen Bell just can’t seem to let it go when it comes to playing her first breakout role in Veronica Mars.
While fans may have thought they’d seen the last of the teenage detective in the 2014 movie adaptation, series creator Rob talked about a possible return for his most famous character to the small screen.
“Kristen and I have talked about a second movie or trying to take it out as a short-run series–like, a ‘Veronica Mars’/ ‘True Detective’ is really appealing to us,” Rob told TVLine.

It would be a “short-run series” he said. However, he then admitted that a possible revival would be many years away.
He explained that while he has talked to Kristen about the idea, and even though she is open to it, he has not yet started writing the project.
Prestige, limited-engagement series have proven to be appealing both for Hollywood A-listers and Netflix watchers.
Actors can remain free of the commitment of full years dedicated to a TV show, and viewers can spend multiple hours with their favorite characters, longer than they could stay at a theater.
When Kristen started on the popular show, she was just a teenager, and the fans are excited to know on how they will continue the journey of the pixie-sized private investigator.
