Veronica Mars gets full season order

Veronica Mars' third season will be a full season.

The CW picked up the show for the rest of the season, though there's a catch. The show is getting only a seven-episode order instead of the back-nine. That means season three will run 20 episodes instead of 22.

How this affects the second and third mystery arcs remains to be seen.

Veronica Mars airs in Nashville on the new CW, Tuesdays at 8 p.m.
