VeronicaMars creator Rob Thomas on the bombshell finale, if another season is in the works and more
will always occupy a special place in Rob Thomas’ heart. The series began in 2004 as the story of a teenage private eye looking into her best friend’s murder.

It’s like severing the arm to save your life. I tried to imagine writing Veronica Mars mysteries the way we want to tell them going forward and her still having a boyfriend or husband waiting back home. The fan service is that they actually got married.

I remember conversations we had after the original series finale, with the downer ending where Veronica screws up Keith’s shot at being re-elected sheriff. Your argument was that this is a noir show and it works best when it gives the audience what the story needs rather than what the fans want.
