"Veronica" toys with time warp - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Veronica Mars might be looking at a quick graduation from Hearst College.

The fate of the CW's cult favorite remains uncertain, but if the show returns for a fourth season in the fall, it might find the young sleuth in a different setting.

"Veronica Mars" creator Rob Thomas has come up with an idea to fast-forward a couple of years and have Mars studying at the FBI Academy. (As a freshman at Hearst College, Kristen Bell's title character has been taking criminology classes looking to do an internship at the FBI.)

Thomas is filming a trailer for an alternative fourth season, which will be submitted to the CW. The network's executives ultimately will decide whether to pick up the series for another season and, if they do, whether to stick to the drama's current plot line or go with the new version. If Mars goes to the FBI Academy next season, it will be a third backdrop for the character, who began her P.I. adventures while in high school.

It sounds like a great storyline, but that will also mean that the entire supporting cast would be changed, which would be bad because I Keith (Veromica's Dad) is a great character.

I love Veronica Mars but I believe it would be a good idea to end the series after the 3rd season.Otherwise it'll get cancelled in mid-season like The OC did even though it was a good idea for The OC to not end with Marissa being killed
