The new season will follow the events of the 2014 feature film, which ended with Veronica leaving her life in New York to stay in Neptune and take over her father's private investigation business. As always, Neptune is embroiled in a vicious class divide with fatal results. The family of a murdered Spring breaker hires Mars Investigations to find their son's killer, and Veronica is drawn into the battle between the wealthy and the working class of Neptune.
Bell told Entertainment Tonight that the new Veronica Mars will be a "much more adult show" than it previously was, which means we'll definitely be seeing the darker side of Neptune that the movie hinted at.
