Kristen Bell returns to the titular role in the new season of Veronica Mars.

Back in 2004, Veronica Mars (Kirsten Bell) was a high school student working for her private-eye father on the side. After three seasons on the air and a crowdfunded movie in 2014, Veronica is back. Now an adult and still a detective, Veronica tackles a fresh mystery in a set of new episodes available on Hulu. She still works with her father, she's still in love with reformed bad boy Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring), and she still has a one-liner for nearly every occasion.
