Series star Kristen Bell
Series creator Rob Thomas, in an email to TV Guide's Michael Ausiello, said that the show "is officially dead."
Thomas added that he believed The CW's entertainment chief Dawn Ostroff - who is currently being deluged with Mars bars by fans hoping to pull off a Jericho-like revival of the show - "would have liked to have continued" with the show but that others at the network offered "too much resistance."
The news comes just over a month since the series was viewed as a likely pickup for the 2007-08 season in a revamped form that would have seen Veronica working as an FBI agent.
