Kristen Bell now has two good places to call home on the small screen. After being teased for way too many years, a Veronica Mars revival has officially been confirmed and picked up by Hulu for an eight-episode season.

According to a press release, the season will air sometime in 2019, with Hulu also acquiring the entire series and the one-off film for its streaming service.

“The new season will once again delve into the class divide in Neptune, California, that ran throughout the original series. Spring breakers are being murdered, imperiling Neptune’s tourist industry,” the release states, ever so eerily. “The family of one victim hires Mars Investigations to find their son’s killer, and Veronica is drawn into a mystery that pits the town’s wealthy ’09ers,’ who’d just as soon see the spring break crowd go away, and working-class residents who rely on the money spring break partiers spend.”

Bell, who’s the only returning cast member confirmed at the moment besides the show’s creator, Rob Thomas, excitedly tweeted the “BREAKING NEWS” this afternoon. “Thank you to all the marshmallows for staying excited and to Hulu for giving Veronica a chance to wear her big girl pants,” she wrote. “I hope we’re still friends after I taser you.”

Any Veronica Mars fan could tell you how a proper revival of the show has been a long time coming since its original run ended more than a decade ago on the CW, especially after the divisive reception of the crowd-funded 2014 film. But if our titular heroine taught us anything, it’s that she knows how to battle her way back into our hearts.
