LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The CW drama "Veronica Mars" is inching closer to a renewal for a fourth season after a trailer for the proposed revamped version of the series got a warm reception at the network, sources said.

The new season would fast-forward a couple of years, and find the title character (Kristen Bell) studying at the FBI Academy.

The cult favorite had been on the verge of cancellation, but its fortunes have improved significantly in the past week with the announcement that "Gilmore Girls" won't be coming back and because of "Mars" creator Rob Thomas' well-received fourth-season idea.
