Veronica Mars: The Original Series
Veronica Mars starred Kristen Bell as the title character, a high schooler by day and a private detective by night. The first season focused on the murder of her best friend Lilly Kane, played by Amanda Seyfried.
Veronica’s father Keith Mars, played by veteran actor Enrico Colantoni, is a private investigator and disgraced former police chief. He accused a software billionaire of the crime and was removed from office. Keith Mars has a close relationship with his daughter, training Veronica as a detective and supporting her investigations.
Formerly part of the in-crowd, Veronica became a social outcast after standing by her father. The first season followed Veronica as she investigated her friend’s murder, gained new allies, and rebuilt old friendships. The following seasons would introduce new mysteries and characters, with Veronica being a college freshman in the third and final season.
Veronica Mars the Movie
In 2013, series creator Rob Thomas and Kristen Bell launched a Kickstarter fundraiser for a Veronica Mars sequel film. They hit their goal of $2 million dollars in 10 hours. The film collected $5.7 million by the end of the campaign and was released in March 2014.
The movie starts with a successful Veronica being offered a job at a prestigious law firm. When a friend is accused of murder, she returns home to help. Pulled into the investigation, Veronica rediscovers her love of detective work. She chooses to decline the job offer and become a full-time private investigator.
