The Veronica Mars cast is taking this whole “reunion” thing to the next level.
RELATED Veronica Mars Boss, Cast Tackle Burning Qs About Logan’s Career, ‘LoVe’s’ Future and More
Premiering in mid-September on CW Seed, Play It Again, Dick will star Ryan Hansen (as himself) as he attempts to get a show made about his Mars character, Dick Casablancas. Filming on the eight-episode series has wrapped, and thanks to BuzzFeed, we now know which of our favorite Marshmallows we’ll be seeing again very soon.
Slated to appear, both as themselves and their Mars characters, are: Kristen Bell (Veronica), Jason Dohring (Logan), Enrico Colantoni (Keith), Percy Daggs III (Wallace), Daran Norris (Cliff), Francis Capra (Weevil), Kyle Gallner (Beaver) and Christopher B. Duncan (Clarence).
Chris Lowell (Piz) and Ken Marino (Vinnie) will only be appearing as themselves, while Amanda Noret (Madison) and Lisa Thornhill (Celeste) will only be playing their Mars characters.
Additionally, Ryan Devlin — who appeared in Mars‘ third season as rapist Mercer Hayes — will replace Teddy Dunn as Duncan.
And lastly, Robert Buckley and Rose McIver — both stars of creator Rob Thomas’ upcoming CW series iZombie — will also join the cast in various roles.

I wish I could be excited for this because I’m a huge Veronica Mars fan, but I don’t like meta. I want a real follow-up to the movie (Season 4, please!).
there is a real follow-up to the movie. Rob Thomas and co. released a novel that takes place after the movies events titled The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line and the second novel is set to come out in October.
I’m well aware of that. But those are novels. I want a sequel, or better yet, a fourth season.
The novels are sequels and Rob Thomas has stated that they are considered canon. Just because you don’t like the medium, doesn’t make it any less a viable sequel.
I don’t think they’re saying the mediums are less viable just that they want more tv show or movies.
Of course you also want to grow wings and fly but since that’s already happened once…
Thank you, Canadian Ninja. The books are perfectly fine but I want the story to continue in tv/movie form.
DirecTV renewed Rogue for a 10-episodes third season and a 10-episodes fourth season.
This Veronica Mars web series is gonna be hilarious! It’ll be great to have these guys back together and Ryan Devlin as Duncan is gonna be pretty funny. And in pretty sure Robert Buckley is also gonna play Logan on Dick’s spin off
And who knows, maybe this is just the first step to an actual 4th season revival.
I would rather no Duncan than a recast Duncan. The new Carrie Bishop wasn’t too great. Why can’t Teddy come back? And no Vinnie, boo. #makeanothermovie
Isn’t Teddy Dunn a lawyer now? I’m pretty sure that he left acting, and likely has no interest in revisiting his role.
If the web-series has Chris Lowell bemoan how his character Piz was basically shafted in the movie, well then I’ll give it a shot. Otherwise…. meh.
Why does it seem like I’m the only person who’s upset that there’s no Tina Majorino?????
you’re not the only one. Mac should be there!!
Tina Majorino was most likely busy with that “Legends” shows.
Awesome! I literally can’t wait to watch again the VM gang on my screen..September can’t come soon enough..yesssss
lol excited for Dick’s show. Hansen has been such a vocal and awesome supporter of VMars and he’s been so wonderful to us fans.
.
But could there *be* a worse title that CW Seed? Everytime it pops up on the tv in the corner I cringe. It’s awful.
I love me some Dick! *(er, Ryan Hansen!)
