'Veronica Mars' reboot sees Kristen Bell reprise her role as a private investigator and the show will be streamed on Hulu.

'Veronica Mars' was a popular show that premiered in 2004, but ended in 2007 despite getting good reviews. Hulu picked up the show for a reboot in September 2018 and announced that it would be a mini-series consisting of 8 episodes. The teaser of the show was released in April followed by the trailer on May 1. The show is an American teen-mystery, which was initially produced by Warner Bros. Television, Silver Pictures Television, Stu Segall Productions, and Rob Thomas Productions. 

Release date

The fourth season of 'Veronica Mars' will release on July 26 and can be streamed on Hulu. 

Plot

The plot of season 4 of the show revolves around a serial killer in the fictional city of Neptune where Veronica Mars resides. This serial killer has made victims of spring breakers and in an interview with EW, Kristen Bell, the lead actor, said, "It’s gonna be a much darker world, it’s going to be a bigger world, it’s definitely not what we did on UPN or The CW, so I want to brace fans for that, that it’s going to be darker and bigger and more cinematic, a little bit different."
