‘Veronica Mars’ is Coming to Start TV Beginning May 18
Fans of the cult classic Veronica Mars can rejoice as it hits Start TV beginning on May 18. The Kristen Bell detective series, created by screenwriter Rob Thomas built a fiercely loyal fanbase during its original three-season run on UPN and later The CW from 2004 until 2008. Set in the fictional town of Neptune, California, Bell played a sharp-witted teenager who moonlights as a private investigator under the tutelage of her detective father (Enrico Colantoni). Each episode blends a compelling stand-alone case with an overarching mystery that unfolds across the season and several episodes.
Also this month, Start TV enhances its daytime and weekend programming with expanded blocks of Charmed and Gilmore Girls. Beginning May 19, Charmed joins the Tuesday lineup with five back-to-back episodes airing from 12 pm to 5 pm ET/PT. Starting May 23, the network extends its Saturday blocks, featuring eight consecutive episodes of Charmed from 12 until 8 pm ET/PT, followed by five episodes of Gilmore Girls from 8 pm-1 am ET/PT.
