"Veronica Mars" Boss Rob Thomas Shares 'Six-Episode' Revival Update

With the "Gilmore Girls" revival behind us, it’s time to reopen our investigation into a second "Veronica Mars" reunion project.

At the Television Critics Association winter press tour last week, Thomas — who was promoting "iZombie" Season 3 — revealed that the potential continuation would consist of a half-dozen hour-long episodes. “Kristen and I both want to figure out some way we could do a six-episode Veronica Mars mystery,” he shared.

“If I were a betting man, I bet that it will happen. I just don’t know when it will be.”

Two likely complications/obstacles: Bell’s commitment to NBC’s "The Good Place" and Thomas’ in-the-works Lost Boys remake for The CW.

“We need to find a window where we could both do it,” he explained. “When actors are on network shows, most standard contracts will give them outs for, like, one episode a year of guest-starring. But then there are also sometimes outs if you’re doing something that is non-competitive. Would NBC consider a Veronica Mars thing on, like, Netflix non-competitive? We have not figured that out yet.”

“Also, I’m developing Lost Boys,” he adds. “If those things weren’t happening, we might be closer to a Veronica Mars continuation. The Good Place, I think, is going to be on NBC for a while. And if Lost Boys goes, finding that window will be tricky. But we both want to do it.”
