List of Veronica Mars characters

''Veronica Mars'' is an American television series created by Rob Thomas. The series premiered on September 22, 2004, during network UPN's last two years, and ended on May 22, 2007, after a season on UPN's successor network, The CW. Balancing murder mystery, high-school, and college drama, the series features social commentary with sarcasm and off-beat humor in a style often compared to film noir. Set in the fictional town of Neptune, the series stars Kristen Bell as the title character, a student who progresses from high school to college during the series while moonlighting as a private investigator under the wing of her detective father.

The first season had seven regular characters. However, Thomas decided to introduce and eliminate several characters in order to create an "equally fascinating mystery" for the series' second season. Thomas needed "new blood" since he felt unable to bring back the Kanes and the Echolls and "have them all involved in a new mystery". The third season features a cast of ten actors who receive billing, an increase from the nine actors in the second. Three of the regulars in the second season are written out of the series, two new characters are introduced and two others are upgraded from recurring roles.
