Kristen Bell, who used to solve crimes as teenage dectective Veronica Mars for three seasons, will now be a part of the "Heroes" season, starting this fall. She'll be featured in a block of the shows, not part of the entire season.
"This was not easy to pull off. But since we're an ensemble show, with many arcs playing out through the year, we found a way to jump into a small window in her schedule," Tim Kring, the show's executive producer and creator, said in a statement Monday.
According to Kring, the character Bell plays, Elle, will commit a horrible crime, and it will be doubtful who's side she's on.
As Kring said, Bell is busy this year, as she has a voice role in "Gossip Girl" from the CW, and also stars in Judd Apatow's comedy "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." With Apatow's recent success of "Knocked Up" and this weekends' opening of "Superbad," it looks like she's tapped into a good career move there and will have a successful run.
