'''''Veronica Mars''''' is an American teen [[film noir|noir]] [[Mystery fiction|mystery]] [[Drama (film and television)|drama]] television series created by screenwriter [[Rob Thomas (writer)|Rob Thomas]].

[[Veronica Mars (character)|The character Veronica Mars]] is a student who progresses from [[high school]] to [[college]] while moonlighting as a [[private investigator]] under the tutelage of her detective father. In each episode, Veronica solves a different stand-alone case while working to solve a more complex mystery. The first two seasons of the series each had a season-long [[Story arc|mystery arc]], introduced in the first episode of the season and solved in the season finale. The third season took a different format, focusing on smaller mystery arcs that would last several episodes.
Thomas initially wrote ''Veronica Mars'' as a [[Young adult fiction|young adult novel]], which featured a male protagonist; he changed this because he thought a [[Hardboiled|noir piece]] told from a female point of view would be more interesting and original. Filming began in March 2004,<ref name="pilotfilmvm" /> and the series premiered in September to 2.49 million American viewers.<ref>{{cite web |publisher=[[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] Medianet |date=September 29, 2004 |url=http://abcmedianet.com/web/dnr/dispDNR.aspx?id=092904_04 |title=Weekly Program Rankings |access-date=July 7, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110707100921/http://abcmedianet.com/web/dnr/dispDNR.aspx?id=092904_04 |archive-date=July 7, 2011 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The critically acclaimed first season's run of 22 episodes garnered an average of 2.5 million viewers per episode in the United States. The series appeared on several fall television best lists and garnered awards and nominations. During the series' run, it was nominated for two [[Satellite Awards]], four [[Saturn Awards]], five [[Teen Choice Awards]] and was featured on [[American Film Institute|AFI]]'s TV Programs of the Year for 2005.
The show was cancelled after its third season, and Thomas wrote a feature film script continuing the series. Warner Bros. opted not to fund the project at the time. On March 13, 2013, Bell and Thomas launched a fundraising campaign to produce the film through [[Kickstarter]] and attained the $2 million goal in less than 11 hours.<ref>{{cite magazine |title='Veronica Mars' movie is a go!

Thomas, who said he "conceive[d] the show as a one-year mystery," decided that he needed to introduce and eliminate several characters to be able to create an "equally fascinating mystery" for the series' second season. Thomas felt that he could not bring back the Kanes and the Echolls and "have them all involved in a new mystery"; he needed "new blood".<ref name="marsthomasin">{{cite news |last=Porter |first=Rick |date=September 28, 2005 |title=Mystery deepens on Mars |url=http://www.projo.com/tv/content/projo_20050928_veronica.11a78ce9.html |access-date=November 8, 2008 |work=[[The Providence Journal]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090616070232/http://www.projo.com/tv/content/projo_20050928_veronica.11a78ce9.html |archive-date=June 16, 2009 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The second season saw the introduction of [[Tessa Thompson]] as [[Jackie Cook]], a romantic interest of Wallace and daughter of a famous baseball player.
