The streaming service has ordered eight episodes and will be a more “adult” take on the series. The new storyline follows Veronica Mars (Bell) as she tracks down a serial killer wreaking havoc Neptune during spring break.

Adding to the fun, many of the original cast members are returning to mystery drama: Ryan Hansen is back as Dick Casablancas, Jason Dohring is back as Logan Echolls, and Percy Daggs III is returning as Wallace Fennel, just to name a few.
