As the premiere for a new season of fan-darling-TV-series-brought-back-from-the-dead Veronica Mars draws closer, Hulu has released the first full trailer for the show.

Previous clips were just teasers, but this one really fleshes out what viewers can expect. In general, it looks like it will retain the original series' wit and darkness, just without the heavy 2000s-ness of it all. Since Veronica is a grown-up, working private investigator now, it looks a bit edgier in some ways, with guns and the like playing a more prominent role than they did in the original series. (Previously, Veronica usually relied on her dog Backup or her taser to do her dirtiest work.)

In this reboot, the small seaside town of Neptune, California has seen a rash of bombings of late, and Veronica and her father are hired by the family of one of the victims to figure out whats going on.

Various people in the trailer speculate about what's happening. Could it be a serial killer? Could it be someone trying to destroy the towns community? Hulus synopsis for the season alludes to a conflict between the wealthy residents of Neptune, who want to end the noisy Spring Break culture, and the working class, mostly Hispanic residents who are dependent on the tourism income.

Given that the tension between those two social circles has often been at the heart of the show, we wouldnt be surprised to see that its at least somehow related to bombings, too.

It seems longtime Veronica Mars love interest Logan Echolls has returned from some time away, and hes shirtless and smoldering as ever—moreso than ever, really. The trailer also included some glimpses of Eli “Weevil” Navarro, another key character from the original series, plus there's a plethora of new people. Oh, and Dick is up to all his old bro-y antics, per a couple of moments in this footage.

Its too bad we havent seen much of fan favorites Wallace or Mac so far, but heres hoping theyll return in a big way. Veronica Mars season four will premiere on Hulu on July 26, and the streaming platform will soon add all three original seasons (plus the 2013 movie)Read More – Source
