The Cast of “Veronica Mars”: Where Are They Now?

They mystery thriller 'Veronica Mars' premiered 20 years ago on Sept. 22, 2004. Find out what the cast has been up to since the series wrapped

It has been 20 years since the teen mystery drama Veronica Mars aired on UPN. The show followed Kristen Bell as the titular Veronica Mars, a high school student who helps her father as a private investigator. 

The series was canceled after three seasons, but its producer, Rob Thomas, wrote a script for a full-length feature film. After Warner Bros. denied the funding, Thomas teamed up with Bell to start a Kickstarter campaign. Fans brought in $5.7 million, enough cash to turn the dream into reality in 2014. In 2019, Hulu gathered most of the original cast for a fourth season, exclusive to the streaming platform.

A lot has changed for the stars since the show aired two decades ago. Find out where the cast of Veronica Mars is today.

Kristen Bell as Veronica Mars

After starring as the teenage private investigator and the show’s namesake character, Kristen Bell landed TV roles like the voice of Gossip Girl for six seasons from 2007 to 2012; and as Jeannie Van Der Hooven in Showtime’s House of Lies from 2012 to 2016. Bell was in another starring role as Eleanor Shellstrop in NBC’s The Good Place between 2016 and 2020. 

On the big screen, her filmography includes 2008’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Bad Moms in 2016 and of course as the voice of Anna in Disney’s Frozen and Frozen II in 2013 and 2019, respectively. 

In recent years, Bell has stepped out of the limelight to focus on her two kids, whom she shares with her husband, Dax Shepard. She recently went on Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast and explained why she is making a return.

“A desire to be creative and leave the house a little more because I have spent the last couple of years being, like, a full-time mom,” Bell said. “I realized, wait, I want to do it again. I want to feel that kind of electricity again.”

Bell, 44, stars opposite Adam Brody in Netflix’s Nobody Wants This, which premieres Sept. 26.
