Play It Again, Dick (Veronica Mars-based Web Series)

[fatediesel]

Filming is complete on Play It Again, Dick, an eight-episode web series starring Ryan Hansen playing a fictionalized version of himself and his Veronica Mars character Dick Casablancas.

"Play It Again, Dick's" meta conceit will see Hansen attempting to capitalize on his "Veronica Mars" fame (and current Kickstarter-funded revival) by creating a spinoff series entitled "Play It Again, Dick," in which Kristen Bell (playing a "skewed" version of herself) has begrudgingly agreed to reprise her role as Veronica. Also on board for the series are a host of "Veronica Mars" cast members including:

Jason Dohring as Logan Echolls and Jason Dohring

Percy Daggs III as Wallace Fennel and Percy Daggs III

Daran Norris as Cliff McCormack and Daran Norris

Francis Capra as Eli “Weevil” Navarro and Francis Capra

Kyle Gallner as Cassidy “Beaver” Casablancas and Kyle Gallner

Christopher B. Duncan as Clarence Wiedman and Christopher B. Duncan

Ryan Devlin as Duncan Kane and Ryan Devlin (though Devlin played rapist Mercer Hayes in Season 3 of "Veronica Mars," in Hansen's spinoff series he'll replace Teddy Dunn as Veronica's ex-boyfriend Duncan Kane)

No, that’s not a typo: Devlin, who played rapist Mercer Hayes in the third season, returns to replace Teddy Dunn as Veronica’s former paramour Duncan Kane in Hansen’s ridiculously bizarre detective series.

Chris Lowell as Chris Lowell (but not Stosh "Piz" Piznarski)

Ken Marino as Ken Marino (but not Vinnie Van Lowe)

Amanda Noret as Madison Sinclair (but not as Amanda Noret)

Lisa Thornhill as Celeste Kane (but not as Lisa Thornhill)

In addition, Robert Buckley and Rose McIver - both stars of Rob Thomas’ upcoming CW series "iZombie" - will serve as guest stars, with Buckley playing "flamboyant choreographer" Gaston (who replaces Jason Dohring as Logan Echolls in Hansen's spinoff) and McIver as “Skank With Attitude” and “Horny Mourner.” Others to be featured include Wesley Chan, Philip Wang, Chris Din and CW executives Mark Pedowitz and Thom Sherman.

So.

"Play It Again, Dick" premieres September 15 on CW Seed.

I'm interested because it has the rest of the cast involved too, mainly Kristen Bell.

I'm enough of a VM fan where I'm willing to check it out...

Seems funny.

Ugh, it sucks we can't watch this in Canada. I'd love to watch anything Veronica, and I NEED more Piz in my life. Hopefully it gets released on home video at some point to add to the collection?

I believe it will eventually get to DVD.

Anyway, I thought the first episode was fun and funny. Looking forward to the rest.

Definitely enjoyed the episode. I've liked Ryan Hansen in pretty much everything he's done and Kristin Bell was very funny. I was a little surprised they could swear since I figured the CW would put the same standards on their web series that their TV series have.

For anyone in Canada, CTV has the rights to play this online:
