AceShowbiz - Kristen Bell is open to the possibility of reprising her iconic roles on "Veronica Mars" and "The Good Place". The actress, who recently made her return to television on the Netflix rom-com series "Nobody Wants This", shared her thoughts on a reboot during a promotional push for the new show.
"I'm very transparent about that!" Bell told PEOPLE. "I never wanted either of those shows to end."
"Veronica Mars", a teen mystery-drama, initially ran from 2004 to 2007 before being revived for a feature film in 2014 and a fourth season on Hulu in 2019. Bell played the titular character, a college student who moonlighted as a private investigator under her father's tutelage.
"The Good Place", a fantasy-comedy, aired from 2016 to 2020 on NBC. Bell starred as Eleanor Shellstrop, a woman who accidentally ends up in the "Good Place" after her death.
"Veronica Mars" was Bell's first long-running series, and she has expressed a desire to return to the role that launched her career. The show has been absent from television since 2019, but Bell remains hopeful for a reboot.
Bell has also expressed interest in reprising her role on "The Good Place", which has been off the air since its final season in 2020. The show's creator Michael Schur has previously stated that he would be open to a reunion episode or limited series, but no official plans have been announced.
Bell's willingness to return to these beloved shows indicates her deep affection for both projects. Fans of "Veronica Mars" and "The Good Place" can continue to hope that they will one day get to see Bell reprise her iconic roles.
