Amazon Prime netted exclusive rights to stream teen drama Veronica Mars, so all die-hard Marshmallows and new fans can catch up on the series before the Kickstarter-funded movie's debut in March.
Veronica Mars — a cult hit on the WB in the early 2000s — roared back after an extremely successful Kickstarter campaign by show creator Rob Thomas for a long-requested film raised $5.7 million. The campaign currently holds the crowdfunding service record for fastest to reach a $1 million.

With all the renewed interest in the show, which stars Kristen Bell as a teen detective constantly finding herself in trouble, it's no surprise Amazon snatched up exclusive streaming rights. It previously appeared on both Netflix and Vudu.
"The Veronica Mars series has been popular on DVD and Amazon Instant Video for years, so we know how much Amazon customers love this iconic television show,” said Brad Beale, Director of Digital Video Content Acquisition for Amazon.
The Veronica Mars movie hits select theaters March 14, and features pretty much the entire cast. Centered on the Neptune High 10-year high school reunion, Veronica figure out if her old flame Logan Echolls has been falsely accused of murder.
Watching Veronica Mars is free for Amazon Prime members, which wasn't the case as recently as last week, but you can still purchase seasons and episodes through Amazon's streaming services.
