Kirby Howell-Baptiste has joined the cast of Hulu’s Veronica Mars revival.
The eight-episode limited series is scheduled to premiere in 2019.
The highly-anticipated revival stars original cast members Kristen Bell, Enrico Colantoni and Jason Dohring.
In the revival, spring breakers are getting murdered in Neptune, thereby decimating the seaside town’s lifeblood tourist industry. After Mars Investigations is hired by the parents of one of the victims to find their son’s killer, Veronica (Bell) is drawn into an epic mystery that pits the enclave’s wealthy elites, who would rather put an end to the month-long bacchanalia, against a working class that relies on the cash influx that comes with being the West Coast’s answer to Daytona Beach.
Howell-Baptiste will play Nicole, who owns and operates the Neptune nightclub favored by spring breakers. When they begin dying, Veronica begins to believe the killer is selecting his victims at the club.
