Although there's no official word yet, the odds are looking good for a season five of Veronica Mars [1] in the future. It's been a long wait, but Veronica is finally back in action, 12 years after the original series wrapped [2] back in 2007 and five years after the 2014 one-shot movie sequel. The fourth season, now on Hulu [3], picks up with the now-adult PI and her usual troupe of friends. The big question, of course, is whether this will be a one-and-done revival, or if the series will continue past this new season.

If star Kristen Bell [4] has her way, there will definitely be a season five — and six, and as many as possible! In an interview with TVLine, Bell opened up about how much she loves doing the show and wants to continue. [5]

"I told [series creator] Rob Thomas that I will do Veronica Mars until it's Murder, She Wrote," she joked. "I will keep doing this show until everyone in Neptune is dead. And then the big reveal [in the eventual series finale] is that Veronica's the criminal; she killed everyone!" Bell then adds, more seriously, that she sees "an endless life" [6] for the show. "As long as the fans want more, I will try to do it again."

Of course, all of that depends on whether or not Hulu orders another season, and that depends on how well the new revival season [7] does. Like other streaming platforms, viewership numbers on Hulu are not often made available the way that typical broadcast TV numbers are, unless the company chooses to release them for a particular reason. Given the high level of anticipation for the fourth season of Veronica Mars, though, it seems like a safe bet to say that the numbers will be fairly strong. The strength of the show's fanbase has been enough to bring it back from the dead [8] not once but twice now, so we'd hope that's enough to keep the show running for a while!
