Seems there is a little news about the Future of Veronica Mars and its hopeful!

TVGuide Reports

Veronica Mars being renewed just went from “so-so” to “pretty good.” Suddenly, per my spy, “There’s a glimmer of hope.” Here’s why:

• Since Gilmore Girls is packing it in, the network suddenly has an extra hour of prime real estate available. What are they gonna do, renew 7th Heaven again? (That was a joke, CW. Don’t get any ideas.)

• CW prez Dawn Ostroff is said to have responded very favorably to the trailer that series creator Rob Thomas shot for a potential reworking of the show with VM as an FBI agent (think Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs, only with way better hair and funnier dialogue). What’s more, sources whisper to me that on the strength of that presentation, Thomas and Co. have been asked for more deets of the proposed revamp.

• Big changes are afoot — starting at the very top. “They’ve talked about a title change,” says my spy. (Hey, if the quality remains the same, they can call it Veronica Mars Presents: The Search for the Next Pussycat Doll for all I — and I suspect all of us V fans — care.) Furthermore, there would likely be a major cast shake-up, with Bell the only guaranteed carryover.

Sounds like the leap-ahead is the only saving grace that is keeping this show in consideration. I really hope that we do get to see more Mars even if it is a different take on the character. I much rather prefer her unpolished unstructured methods for solving crimes, and I worry that a more seasoned and educated Veronica may lose that edge.

I wonder if the FBI will make her more CSI than PI.

Ok, I am stopping with the acronyms now.
