I hope we’re still friends after I taser I you. 😍😍😍.”

Reports that the former UPN/CW drama, which originally ran for three seasons from 2004 to 2007 and returned for a fan-funded film in 2014, first surfaced in August. The series creator Rob Thomas is also set to return for the revival, which was also confirmed by Hulu in a press release on Thursday.

“Spring breakers are getting murdered in Neptune, thereby decimating the seaside town’s lifeblood tourist industry,” the revival’s logline reads. “After Mars Investigations is hired by the parents of one of the victims to find their son’s killer, Veronica is drawn into an epic eight-episode mystery that pits the enclave’s wealthy elites, who would rather put an end to the month-long bacchanalia, against a working class that relies on the cash influx that comes with being the West Coast’s answer to Daytona Beach.”

Hulu has yet to announce if other cast members are returning for the revival. Jason Dohring, Enrico Colantoni, Chris Lowell, Percy Daggs III and Tina Majorino all appeared in the aforementioned fan-funded film.

Seasons 1-3 of Veronica Mars will start streaming on Hulu in summer 2019. The revival is also expected to start streaming in 2019.
