"Bones" might have been off the air for almost a decade, but love for the long-running Fox procedural very much endures. That's not just among fans, either. Stars Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz have spoken about how they enjoyed working together on "Bones," in which they played forensic scientist Temperance Brennan and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth, respectively. What's more, the co-stars have remained sanguine about the possibility of a "Bones" revival and have openly stated their desire to return — though actually getting a "Bones" revival off the ground is more complicated than you might think.

Meanwhile, other former cast members have spoken fondly of their time on the show, including the "squints" or "squinterns." This affectionate name for the interns at the fictional Jeffersonian Institute where Brennan works caught on early in the show's run, and throughout 12 seasons of "Bones," the squints became one of the most integral parts of the series' success.

Emily Deschanel began her career back in 1994 and has appeared in several TV shows and movies. But by far her most memorable and best-known role was as forensic anthropologist Temperance "Bones" Brennan on Fox's offbeat procedural "Bones." Not only did she play the role for 12 straight seasons between 2005 and 2017, but Deschanel also directed one of the most important "Bones" episodes and became a producer on the series around season 4, ensuring she had an element of control over the show that came to define her career. In turn, Deschanel played a large part in defining the series itself, which, after such a long on-air run, is impossible to think about without the actress in the lead role.

There is another woman without whom neither "Bones" nor Temperance Brennan would exist, however: Kathy Reichs. A real-life forensic anthropologist, Reichs used her decades of experience to write a series of mystery novels based around the Brennan character,...

When you play a character for 12 years, there's bound to be some overlap between their fictional life and your own. That's exactly what happened with David Boreanaz and FBI Agent Seeley Booth on "Bones." The off-kilter Fox procedural ran from 2005 to 2017 and clearly Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel, who played forensic scientist Temperance Brennan, felt extremely close to their characters and the show overall. In the years since the series went off the air, Boreanaz has seemed eager to return for a "Bones" revival, and has spoken enthusiastically about his positive experiences working alongside Deschanel. But he's also probably just missing Agent Booth as a character. 

Aside from Angel on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and the "Angel" spinoff series, Booth is the role for which Boreanaz is most well-known. Clearly the actor himself embraced this, infusing the FBI agent with elements of his own personality as the series went on. Nowhere...

When "Bones" wrapped up in 2017, it had been on the air for a full 12 seasons. As such, there were plenty of potential keepsakes that the cast and crew might have snuck out on their last day. Considering how long the show had been going and how successful it had been, there was every reason for them to do so. Stars David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel have spoken about working together, remembering it as a positive experience, which it seems they'd be willing to repeat, if their comments on the potential "Bones" revival are anything to go by. In fact, pretty much everybody who worked on the Fox procedural seems to be eager to return, suggesting that the series wasn't just a big success, but a grand old time all around.

As such, you can imagine why the actors would have taken a piece of the show with them back in 2017. For Boreanaz,...

The eight-episode drama “charts the rise and fall of Felix Carmichael (Laurie), the elusive and powerful head of notorious British crime syndicate ‘The Capital,'” reads the official synopsis.

Netflix has added a slew of new cast members (and potential suspects) to the star-studded line-up of A Man on the InsideSeason 2, which is set to premiere on the streaming service sometime in 2025. The comedy ensemble has grown substantially, with nearly a dozen actors joining Ted Danson, who reprises his role as retiree-turned-private-investigator Charles Nieuwendyk. Now there are a lot more men and women on the inside, likely to play a role in the character's sleuthing shenanigans during the sophomore outing of the series.

The newest additions to A Man on the Inside Season 2 include several sitcom favorites and plenty of familiar names, including Gary Cole (NCIS), Michaela Conlin (Bones), Max Greenfield (The Neighborhood), Sam Huntington (Superman Returns), Jason Mantzoukas (Big Mouth), Constance Marie (With Love), David Strathairn (The Bourne Legacy), Jill Talley (Mr. Show), Madison Hu (The Brothers Sun), Lisa Gilroy (Interior Chinatown), and Linda Park (Bosch). Netflix also...

Charles Nieuwendyk's case in A Man on the Inside season 2 just a got a little more interesting with the reveal of the critically acclaimed mystery comedy's new cast members. Of course, Ted Danson will return as the titular man on the inside, a retired widow who gets back out into society as a spy for hire working with private investigator Julie (Lilah Richcreek Estrada).

Richcreek Estrada will also be back in her role, as Variety confirms, but season 2 has also gained a fully rounded out cast after adding Danson's real-life wife Mary Steenburgen in a major role. Viewers will be excited to see some talented familiar faces from shows like Veep, Bones, New Girl, Switched at Birth, Being Human, and more small screen favorites.

Constance Marie, David Strathairn, Gary Cole, Jason Mantzoukas, Jill Talley, Linda Park, Lisa Gilroy, Madison Hu, Max Greenfield, Michaela Conlin, and Sam Huntington are the...

“A Man on the Inside” Season 2 is rounding out its main cast with nearly a dozen new additions.

Variety has learned that the following actors have joined the sophomore season of the comedy series: Constance Marie, David Strathairn, Gary Cole, Jason Mantzoukas, Jill Talley, Linda Park, Lisa Gilroy, Madison Hu, Max Greenfield, Michaela Conlin, and Sam Huntington.

Full character descriptions for the new cast members can be found below. They join fellow Season 2 star Mary Steenburgen as well as returning cast members Ted Danson and Lilah Richcreek Estrada.

Production on Season 2 is now underway. While exact details are under wraps, the second season will see Charles (Danson) undertaking a new investigation at a college.

“A Man on the Inside” Season 1 debuted in November 2024 to a glowing reception from both audiences and critics. The single-cam comedy remained in the Netflix Top 10 English TV chart for five weeks, while Danson received both...

Before Euphoria had teens crying in glitter and Stranger Things brought back scrunchies, Freaks and Geeks was the ultimate throwback teen drama. Created by Paul Feig and backed by Judd Apatow, this one-season wonder gave us everything—awkward crushes, garage band dreams, and hallway drama set in the glorious chaos of the ’80s.

However, despite its popularity and Emmy win, Freaks and Geeks was canceled after 18 episodes. Struggling with ratings, the show was unfairly booted off TV. Yet, the geeks and freaks from the series managed to climb up the ladder of fame, following this 1999 dramedy. So today, let’s check out what the gang’s up to in 2025!

10. Natasha Melnick as Cindy Sanders

After watching myriad shows, we’ve finally concluded that every teen show needs that one totally-out-of-your-league crush. So, in Freaks and Geeks, Natasha Melnick played that soft-spoken cheerleader Cindy Sanders, who had poor Sam Weir stumbling...

In 2009, Fox created a "Simpsons" scavenger hunt to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the series. It involved hiding Easter eggs and references to the animated sitcom in all of the network's prime-time programs, including "House," "Lie to Me," and "Glee." At the time, Fox's popular procedural "Bones" had been running for four years and was in the midst of its fifth season. As such, it too received the "Simpsons" scavenger hunt treatment, and might have been the show that most successfully paid tribute to Matt Groening's series.

Season 5, episode 7, entitled "The Dwarf in the Dirt," contained multiple nods to "The Simpsons," including a wrestler named Bumblebee Man and a scene at the Jeffersonian Institute that featured an x-ray of Homer Simpson's skull hanging in the background, revealing an alarmingly small brain. The episode also featured a cameo by Homer voice actor Dan Castellaneta, who plays police officer Navarro...

Actor David Boreanaz is no stranger to leading a TV show, and he's definitely starred in some wildly different leading roles over the years. After heading up "Angel" as the titular romantic and semi-repentant vampire in Joss Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire" spin-off, he tackled the role of FBI agent Seeley Booth on the long-running hit Fox procedural "Bones." But after "Bones," he wanted to go in another direction. Following the "Bones" finale, he ended up starring in the CBS military action drama "Seal Team," portraying Master Chief Special Warfare Operator Jason Hayes, the leader of the Bravo Seal Team. As Hayes, also known as Bravo 1, he had to lead his team in incredibly dangerous and tense situations, like extracting hostages from terrorist organizations. The show strove to be accurate, with a number of military consultants involved to help maintain realism and provide the little details that make a story feel more authentic,...

From 2007 to 2014 and across 138 episodes, writer, director, producer, and actor John Francis Daley played Dr. Lance Sweets on "Bones," Hart Hanson's beloved procedural series about forensic anthropologists solving cold cases. Did you know, though, that Daley also wrote one of those episodes?

The season 6 episode "The Truth in the Myth" — which was written by Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein, directed by Chad Lowe, and came out in 2011 — focuses on a case involving a man who worked as a "mythbuster" named Lee Coleman (Leigh McCloskey) who, it's believed, died in some sort of incident with the mythical Chupacabra. After Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and her team keep investigating, they find all sorts of different animal traces on the corpse, including bite marks, scales from reptiles, and hair from mammals, though the pragmatic Bones remains convinced that it's all some sort of hoax.

Bones is, as usual, right. The weird...

Tubi’s slate for May runs the gamut of sci-fi fare, beloved comedies and thrillers.

There’s “Interstellar” and the David Lynch version of “Dune,” as well as “But I’m a Cheerleader” starring two of the biggest television leads at the moment, Natasha Lyonne and Melanie Lynskey. Viewers can also find musical films like “The Wiz” and “Dreamgirls” and dramas like “The Eternal Daughter” and “C’mon C’mon.” Horror titles include “28 Weeks Later,” for those trying to catch up on the zombie trilogy before this year’s “28 Years Later,” and “Barbarian.”

Tubi additionally has three new original films in its catalogue this month.

Here are all the new titles coming to Tubi in May:

Tubi Original Romance

“Worth the Wait” is about several Asian American individuals whose lives intersect. (5/23)

Tubi Original Thrillers

“Rhythm & Blood” follows the romance between a pop star and the bodyguard she employs to protect her from a stalker’s threats.

"Bones" ran for 12 seasons between 2005 and 2017, and by all accounts, star David Boreanaz mostly had a great time throughout. Heck, Boreanaz has even revealed that he has the perfect pitch for a "Bones" revival, once again speaking to his willingness to return to the show and his positive view of the previous 12 seasons.  There were a few things that the former "Angel" star wasn't a huge fan of however -- one of which involved an aesthetic change that went against what both Booth and Boreanaz were known for.

Ever since Boreanaz broke through with his role as Angel on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" back in 1997, he's been known for his clean-shaven appearance. Despite many a young heartthrob sporting designer stubble through the years, Boreanaz's vampire boyfriend was always more of a clean cut kinda guy, and that continued in his own spin-off, "Angel," which ran from 1999 until 2004. By the time...

Well folks, brace yourself because you might not like the news we are about to deliver to you. Yes, you read the title correctly, and yes, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is doing far better than gamers on the internet would like you to believe. In fact, this game is flying higher than some had predicted.

Contrary to popular belief, AC Shadows hasn’t crashed and burned into the rock bottom. Quite the opposite, actually. The game has exceeded expectations. And now, as the sales figures for its first month have come in, it’s clear: Shadows is here to stay, and it’s doing spectacularly well.

Now, it’s true that Ubisoft didn’t do the greatest job promoting Shadows ahead of its release. In fact, the game’s launch was riddled with some eyebrow-raising decisions, not least of...

Be it a sitcom or an hour-long drama, the will-they-or-won't-they relationship struck up between two wildly appealing characters who seem fated to end up in each other's arms is one of the most reliable, ratings-driving plot devices in television. Like Sam Malone and Diane Chambers on "Cheers" and Maddie Hayes and David Addison on "Moonlighting," the chemistry generated by these characters kept viewers tuning in week after week to see if this was the episode where they finally gave into their carnal desires and, predictably, made an even bigger mess of their already messy lives.

This narrative tradition has extended into the 21st century with such notable examples as Temperance Brennan and Seeley Booth on "Bones" (they did), Don Draper and Joan Holloway on "Mad Men" (never happened!) and Tony Dinozzo and Ziva David on "NCIS" (they did it offscreen). One will-they-or-won't-they that proved especially tantalizing for medical procedural fans...

One of H.P. Lovecraft's classic tales of horror is coming back to the big screen. Deadline reports that Adam Simon and Tim Metcalfe are penning a modernized remake of Herbert West: Reanimator. The story was previously adapted for the screen in 1985 as Re-Animator.

Although his works are famously difficult to adapt, Lovecraft has been a source of inspiration for a number of successful horror films over the years, including Color Out of Space, Banshee Chapter, and Suitable Flesh. Simon and Metcalfe are no strangers to the horror genre; together, the two wrote the Snoop Dogg blaxploitation homage Bones and the supernatural hit The Haunting in Connecticut. Simon directed the fright flicks Brain Dead and Carnosaur, while Metcalfe penned the horror sequel Fright Night Part 2 and the Brad Pitt-David Duchovny serial killer thriller Kalifornia. The film will be produced by Woodlake Entertainment, and is planned as the...

Forty years after Stuart Gordon’s horror classic, Re-Animator, a new take on Hp Lovecraft’s 1922 story has been announced.

Director Stuart Gordon’s 1985 horror Re-Animator may be a cult classic, but it’s somewhat different from the story which inspired it. Forty years on, though, Hp Lovecraft’s 1922 short story, Herbert West – Reanimator, is getting a new adaptation.

According to Deadline, the new take on Lovecraft’s sci-fi horror piece will be financed by Woodlake Entertainment, while its writers are Adam Simon and Tim Metcalfe, who previously collaborated on the 2009 chiller, The Haunting In Connecticut.

Adam Simon also has some other credits worth highlighting. He directed a couple of films for producer Roger Corman in the 1990s – the horror Brain Dead, starring Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton, and the hurriedly-made Jurassic Park cash-in, Carnosaur. He wrote and directed the terrific documentary about modern horror, The American Nightmare, in 2000. He...

A new, contemporary adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s short story Herbert West: Reanimator is in the works from The Haunting in Connecticut screenwriters Adam Simon and Tim Metcalfe, Deadline reports tonight.

The new adaptation is said to be the first in a series of “elevated genre pics” developed and financed by Woodlake Entertainment.

Herbert West: Reanimator centers on “the brilliant but mercurial physician West, whose rabid obsession and pursuit of life extension succeeds to a horrifying effect.”

The news arrives as the short story’s first feature adaptation, Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator, turns 40 this year. This loose retelling of H.P. Lovecraft’s Herbert West-Reanimator goes for the jugular in terms of gore and laughs thanks to director Stuart Gordon, producer Brian Yuzna, and actor Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West.

Lovecraft’s short story, first serialized in Home Brew magazine in 1922, is the first among his works to mention the fictional Miskatonic University.

We are firmly in the age of "newstalgia," a streaming trend that involves unearthing beloved series and films from the past and presenting them to new generations. It's happened with "Friends" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and countless movies that have been exhumed by Netflix and added to the platform's capacious servers. But this trend doesn't have to involve shows that went off the air decades ago. Take "Suits," for instance, which wrapped up its nine-season run on the USA Network in 2019 before finding renewed success on Netflix just four years later when streaming subscribers went positively "Suits" mad. The same, it seems, could soon be said for "Bones."

Fox's procedural ran for an impressive 12 seasons from 2005 to 2017, and remains popular in the streaming age. The Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz-led series is currently available on Hulu and appears to still be drawing fans, judging by all the talk of a "Bones" revival.

During its run "Bones" was beloved by fans for its off-kilter mix of humor, crime, and horror. Typically, leads Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz would engage in some witty banter immediately before the show unleashed some sort of upsettingly realistic cadaver, which made "Bones" a truly unique experience. The show's graphic corpses were the work of fake body specialists and brothers Kevin and Chris Yagher, who provided bodies, body parts, and all manner of viscera across 12 seasons of "Bones," and at times, they simply went too far.

There was the fresh body on "Bones" that grossed out producer Stephen Nathan, who removed a shot of a detached skull and spine from the season 7 episode "The Crack in the Code," for being "too horrible." Evidently, this particular body was a tad too fresh to be showcased extensively, and if you're not all that familiar with "Bones," that should tell you a lot about the show.

“Get Set Galactic” is back with an exciting new episode titled “Funny Bones.” This is the third episode of Season 3, and it promises to be filled with fun and learning. The episode will air on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 11:10 Am on CBeebies.

In “Funny Bones,” two teams will dive into three scientific challenges that are sure to spark curiosity. The challenges will explore the concepts of float or sink, the wonders of plants, and the engineering behind bridges. Each task is designed to be engaging and educational, making science enjoyable for everyone watching.

James, Ayo, and Sam will take a closer look at different animal skeletons, adding an intriguing twist to the episode. Understanding how skeletons work can help young viewers learn about biology and the animal kingdom. To top it all off, Sam will host a fun quiz that will test the teams’ knowledge and keep the energy high.

For an actor, being a main character on a long-running network television show is, if nothing else, a fantastically lucrative situation. These series tend to pay very well, which is a godsend for serious actors who would love to have the freedom to take roles in indie films (or perhaps work in theater) without having to fret over their finances. Those who are fortunate enough to get cast on such a show can feel a tremendous sense of security -- though they are always aware that while the series will go on, it might not necessarily need to go on with their character.

Getting written out of a successful show can be a rough turn of events for an actor, especially if they're an up-and-comer (like Eric Millegan was when his character Zack Addy was killed off on "Bones"). And it's a decision the producers and writers don't make lightly...

Fox's popular crime procedural "Bones" never hesitated to add a bit of interpersonal drama to its investigations. In fact, on many occasions, the relationships between the show's central characters far overshadowed the case at hand, no matter how bloody and dangerous things got.

The couple that quite rightfully gets the most attention on the show are, of course, forensic pathologist extraordinaire Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz). Much of the series' allure comes from their slow and occasionally turbulent progress from uneasy work partners to one of the most loving and devoted married couples in the history of the procedural drama genre. However, they're hardly the only romantic duo on "Bones," and sometimes, the show's amorous pairings came to be in surprising ways.

One particularly popular "Bones" twosome consists of entomologist-slash-conspiracy theorist Jack Hodgins (T.J. Thyne) and Brennan's best friend, the forensic artist...

Back when flip phones ruled and crime shows were everywhere, Monk stood out like a sore thumb, one that had to be washed 27 times. Adrian Monk wasn’t your typical detective. He was a genius with germ issues, a human magnifying glass with 312 phobias, and the reason millions of us developed an odd respect for hand wipes. Tony Shalhoub made Monk iconic, but the rest of the gang, Natalie, Stottlemeyer, Randy, and even Sharona, brought their own brand of chaos, charm, and comedy.

For eight glorious seasons, they solved murders, wrestled personal baggage, and somehow made Ocd oddly heartwarming. After the show wrapped in 2009, fans waited years for a comeback. Then boom, 2023’s Mr. Monk’s Last Case dropped like a nostalgic mic, reuniting the core crew. It reminded us just how much we missed this quirky crime-solving family. Now it’s 2025, and we’re snooping around like Monk himself...

Grosse Pointe Garden Society is now more than halfway through its first season, and although the future of the series still lies in limbo, that hasn’t stopped NBC and Peacock from promoting the series. Collider is thrilled to partner with both NBC and Peacock to unveil an exclusive new sneak peek from Grosse Pointe Garden Society Episode 9, which shows Alice (AnnaSophia Robb) making a choice at the gala that ignites a conflict between Brett (Ben Rappaport) and Doug (Alexander Hodge) while the other members of high society throw subtle jabs at one another. There will be four more episodes of Grosse Pointe Garden Society after Episode 9 debuts on Peacock, with the season finale set to air on May 16. No word on a potential Season 2 yet.

Grosse Pointe Garden Society was written and created for television by Bill Krebs and Jenna Bans, with other scribes such as Samantha Taylor Pickett,...

You know the feeling. That slow, aching wait as two characters circle each other for seasons.

A look here. A brush of the hand there. The kind of tension that makes you yell at the screen — “Just kiss already!” And when they finally do? Worth. Every. Second.

TV used to thrive on the long game. Relationships were built through banter, conflict, trust, and time. Lately, it seems like some shows have forgotten how satisfying it is to make viewers wait and let the emotional connection build naturally.

I’ve always been a fan of the slow burn.

There’s something powerful about a relationship that simmers in the background, woven into the story without rushing it. You feel like you’re part of the journey, rooting for every tiny moment to mean something more.

It’s not about the kiss — it’s about everything that leads up to it.

9-1-1 fans are still mourning the end of Lone Star, but there is plenty reason to be excited about the future of the franchise. The flagship show is still going strong, and now, plans for a second spinoff in Nashville are underway. The spinoff will premiere during the 2025-26 season, and if we're basing our excitement solely on the cast, this will be one of the best shows of the fall.

Deadline confirmed that 9-1-1: Nashville has added Jessica Capshaw to its main cast. Capshaw is best known to television fans as Arizona Robbins, the doctor she played on nine seasons of Grey's Anatomy. The actress knows her way around a procedural drama, as evidenced by her long tenure with Grey's, and we're eager to see what she brings to the table as a radically different character.

9-1-1: Nashville, the next spinoff set in the 9-1-1 universe, has just found another series regular. The casting follows the announcement that Chris O'Donnell would be starring as one of the leads.

Per Variety, it's now been revealed that 9-1-1: Nashville will also star Jessica Capshaw (Grey's Anatomy). Details about the plot of the new show have not yet been revealed, and it's not clear who O'Donnell and Capshaw will be playing. What is known is that, as the title would suggest, the series will focus on first responders working in the famous Tennessee city.

Capshaw has experience at ABC as an alum of the hit medical drama series Grey's Anatomy. She memorably played the role of Dr. Arizona Robbins, a role that spanned from Season 5 through Season 14; she later made a guest appearance in Season 20. Additionally, Capshaw starred in two seasons of the ABC drama series The Practice.

ABC’s 9-1-1 spinoff just snagged another high-profile TV star.

Jessica Capshaw, best known to TVLine readers for starring as Dr. Arizona Robbins (aka one half of #Calzona) on Grey’s Anatomy, has been tapped to star alongside Chris O’Donnell in 9-1-1: Nashville, our sister site Deadline reports.

Trying to be successful in any creative industry can be incredibly rewarding, but if the opportunities aren't coming in, it can also be deeply frustrating. At what point are you still holding on because you've put so much time and energy into a career that isn't providing results? It appears this dilemma has weighed on the mind of "Cobra Kai" actor Courtney Henggeler for some time now.

In a Substack post from the end of March, Henggeler officially announced that, after 20 years of being an actor, she's stepping away from the industry. "I called my agents and told them I was tapping out. I no longer wanted to be a cog in the wheel of the machine," Henggeler wrote. She went on to describe the longing that came with being patient in the hopes that one day she would reap the benefits hoisted over every actor's head:

"We survived off the crumbs.

After 20 years in the business, Cobra Kai actress Courtney Henggeler said she is quitting acting.

In a Substack post made late last month, Henggeler said she “hung up my gloves,” informing her agents that she “was tapping out. I no longer wanted to be a cog in the wheel of the machine.”

Deadline has reached out to Henggeler’s representatives for comment.

Known mostly for her six-season run as Amanda Larusso in Netflix’s recently concluded hit Cobra Kai, Henggeler has also landed bit parts in series like The Big Bang Theory, Mom, Fuller House, Jane the Virgin, Bones, Melissa & Joey, Happy Endings and others.

Temperance "Bones" Brennan is easily Emily Deschanel's biggest and most well-known role. The Fox procedural became a popular Thursday night hit for the network, running for an impressive 12 seasons, which kept Dr. Brennan and her partner Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) in the public consciousness for more than a decade. But "Bones" provided Deschanel with more than a high-profile starring role. By the time the show wrapped up in 2017, the actor had become a producer on the show and also made her directing debut, helming a particularly important episode in the series' history.

It took a full 11 seasons before Deschanel would get her chance to direct, but when she did finally step into the role, she oversaw the return of a beloved character in the form of Eric Millegan's Zack Addy, who left "Bones" after the third season. That season ended with the Addy being sent to a...

When a series runs for 12 seasons, you'd expect there to be some sort of lingering personal drama keeping the cast and crew from fully embracing the idea of a return. Working alongside the same people for that long just seems as though it would, at some point, have resulted in some conflict that might well have precluded any future reunion. But with "Bones," everybody seems onboard for a revival.

In fact, a "Bones" revival seems more likely than ever right now, with former producers, writers, and actors expressing their desire to return to the show, which ran from 2005 to 2017 on the Fox network. Most importantly, series stars Emily Deschanel, who played forensic scientist Temperance "Bones" Brennan, and David Boreanaz, who played FBI Agent Seeley Booth, have said they'd be open to reprising their roles. Boreanaz, whose CBS/Paramount+ series "Seal Team" wrapped up in October 2024, has confirmed in interviews that...

"Bones" had a truly impressive run from 2005 to 2017, delivering 12 seasons of off-kilter procedural action and developing a dedicated fanbase in the process. That said, it took a little time for "Bones" to reach its full ratings potential. In fact, it wasn't until the fourth season, after Fox moved the show to the 8pm Thursday night slot, that it really took off. The series brought in an average of 10.81 million viewers for season 4, a marked improvement on the 8.9 million from the prior season. But season 4 could have easily been the point at which fans turned on "Bones," after a twist that truly nobody saw coming and which left fans feeling let down by the show they'd come to love.

Throughout its run, "Bones" managed to bewilder fans on several occasions. The "Bones" season 1 opening credits had viewers mixing up two cast members, and later David Boreanaz's Agent Seeley Booth had...

With a full 12 seasons, "Bones" had plenty of time to amass a large and passionate fanbase, and ever since the show went off the air in 2017, that fan base has been clamoring for more. The Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz-led procedural built a following with it's off-kilter tone, mixing a lighthearted sensibility with some of the most horrific crime scenes you're ever likely to see on a network show (one fresh body on "Bones" even went too far for producer Stephen Nathan). For some fans, the loss of this offbeat crime series was too much to take, and talk of a reboot or revival has been ongoing ever since 2017.

In that time, we've had some positive and encouraging developments, suggesting that fans might just get what they want. When, how, and with which former actors involved remains unclear, but a "Bones" season 13 certainly seems likely based solely on the...

Bones was a long-running crime dramedy which succeeded because it masterfully blended elements of suspense, action, romance, and comedy. This was particularly evident in their handling of romantic relationships, most notably that between Booth and Bones. However, another fan-favorite couple was that of Jack Hodgins and Angela Montenegro, which apparently had actors T.J. Thyne and Michaela Conlin as advocates behind the scenes.

T.J. Thyne appeared in a segment of an episode of the Boneheads podcast, hosted by series stars Emily Deschanel and Carla Gallo –who played Dr. Temperance Brennan and Daisy Wick–, to discuss the development of his character's romance with Conlin’s and the role they both played in it. When asked about his favorite episode, Thyne responded, "I loved any episode where I got to kiss Michaela. It was like, oh my god, this is amazing. I get to go in and have this incredible experience with a dear friend.

Roku has become a bit infamous for some of its recent advertising tactics, but how do viewers fare on The Roku Channel?

Roku makes a huge chunk of its revenue from ads, and it isn’t afraid to ruffle customer feathers with a little bit of experimentation. The most recent test Roku tried was to incorporate start-up ads when viewers booted up their devices, a move that upset Roku users from coast to coast.

However, Roku’s free streaming service The Roku Channel is a place where customers expect to see ads. It comes with a myriad of free streaming channels and on-demand content as well, but is the ad experience as frustrating on The Roku Channel as it is with some Roku products?

The vindication of a ship getting together is made sweeter when you know it was advocated for by the actors behind it. With the series Bones, of course fans waited seven long seasons for Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) to get together but another couple that stood out for fans was the adorable Angela Montenegro (Michaela Conlin) and Jack Hodgins (T.J. Thyne). The pair would get together, marry, and even have children before the series wrapped up after 12 seasons. On an episode of Boneheadswith Emily Deschanel and Carla Gallo, Thyne joined the pair to talk about his character and also how Angela and Hodgins came to be a couple.

Gallo asked Thyne about his favorite episode, to which he replied, "I loved any episode where I got to kiss Michaela. It was like, oh my god, this is amazing. I get to go...

Director Scott Derrickson, whose credits include Sinister and Doctor Strange, recently got the sci-fi horror film The Gorge out into the world, and he’s currently pushing The Black Phone 2 toward its October 17 release date. Now, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that he has already lined up his next genre project, as he has signed on to direct the supernatural thriller Road of Bones, based on a novel by best-selling author Christopher Golden, for Sony Pictures’ Screen Gems label.

Derrickson will also be writing the screenplay with his frequent collaborator C. Robert Cargill. The story is set in Siberia along the Kolyma Highway, a real highway that was built in Stalinist Soviet Union using the labor of prisoners from the region’s gulags. Lore has it that hundreds of thousands of inmates perished during the construction of the 2000 km road and due to the permafrost, it was judged easier...

"Malcolm in the Middle" is one of the best sitcoms of the 2000s. It's a chaotic, delightfully weird, absurd, and darkly funny comedy about the most dysfunctional family on TV. This is not a simple case of "parents just don't understand," but, rather, a case of deeply flawed grown-ups way in over their heads who also have to deal with having the spawns of Satan for kids.

What made the show so special was its cast. Sure, it's easy to say a series that lasted for seven seasons did so because it had a great ensemble, but "Malcolm in the Middle" was truly perfect in this regard. Whether it's Bryan Cranston being the God of Sweet Buffoons as the patriarch Hal (a role so good it almost cost Cranston his chance at starring in "Breaking Bad") or Justin Berfield basically playing a live-action Bart Simpson as Reese (think about it...

TV fans often prefer that the legacy of their favorite show not be tainted by pointless revivals, but for the Fox crime drama series, Bones, this sentiment does not seem to apply. For a whopping 12 seasons, audiences followed a team of forensic scientists dubbed the Jeffersonian crew as they investigated human remains to solve puzzling murder cases in the FBI archives. But despite its impressive longevity on screens, fans simply can't get enough of the show and believe it to be a good thing that should never have ended. The continuous fan clamor for a revival has been amplified by the interests of the original cast members, and now, it's been revealed that another star has joined the train.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the crime drama, which premiered in 2005. To mark this milestone, starEmily Deschanel, who played Temperance Brennan on the series, is hoping that the fans can be given a gift,...

For a show that featured a lot of death, "Bones" sure did have a lot of heart. A series doesn't run for 12 seasons without an effective emotional core, after all, and "Bones" certainly managed to maintain a soft spot, even as Emily Deschanel's Temperance Brennan and David Boreanaz's Agent Seeley Booth inspected some of the most horrific corpses you've ever seen on TV.

One nice behind-the-scenes aspect of the series to offset the ongoing corpse inspections was the fact that the "Bones" cast often included family members of the stars and the show's creator, Hart Hanson. David Boreanaz's father, Dave Roberts, appeared in an uncredited cameo as an FBI agent, while Hanson's own father, Paul, showed up as a vending machine repairman. But it was during one Christmas episode that we got perhaps the most notable family-member appearance in the series.

Yes, even "Bones," with fake cadavers...

Modern horror icons Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill are bringing Road of Bones to the silver screen.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, the hit filmmaking duo who most recently served as producers on The Gorge are slated to bring author Christopher Golden's 2022 novel Road of Bones to the silver screen for Sony Pictures' Screen Gems. As with previous projects such as Sinister and The Black Phone, Derrickson and Cargill will share writing duties, while Derrickson will helm the film as director. Road of Bones is the first project to emerge from the first-look deal Derrickson and Cargill's Crooked Highway reached with Sony/Screen Gems.

Road of Bones takes place on the Kolyma Highway, a very real 1,200 mile stretch of road in Siberia that crosses through some of the most treacherous and unforgiving terrain on Earth. Per the novel's official synopsis, "Felix Teigland, or "Teig," is a documentary producer, and...

With a Buffy The Vampire Slayer revival on its way, there have been several stories emerging about the original series as those involved in the iconic series have reminisced about their own time working on the show. Currently, it is not clear which actors from the original series will be making an appearance outside the original Slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar. While Gellar was already established as an actor when taking on the role of Buffy Summers, her costar David Boreanaz was very new to the scene – and the director of the show’s pilot has explained exactly how green he was.

Before being expanded to the full first episode of the series, creator Joss Whedon made a 25-minute pilot, and while appearing on the Re-vamped with Juliet Landau podcast, Charles Martin Smith recalled Boreanaz being like a “terrified” kid. He said:

“David, playing Angel, he had his first scene I think ever in my episode.

The sinister team of Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill are tackling an adaptation of Road of Bones, a horror novel by best-selling author Christopher Golden, for Sony Pictures’ Screen Gems label.

The duo, known for their horror scares thanks to movies such as Sinister, Doctor Strange and The Black Phone, will write the screenplay with Derrickson set to direct. The two will also produce via their Crooked Highway production banner.

The project marks the first venture to skulk up from Crooked Highway’s first-look deal with Screen Gems/Sony.

Bones is a supernatural thriller set in Siberia along the Kolyma Highway, a real highway that was built in Stalinist Soviet Union using the labor of prisoners from the region’s gulags. Lore has it that hundreds of thousands of inmates perished during the construction of the 2000 km road and due to the permafrost, it was judged easier to just built atop of the bodies.

The hit crime drama series Bones turns 20 years old this year, and fans continue to hope that the original stars will one day reunite for a revival. While such a project has yet to officially go into development, Deschanel's latest comments on the possibility are very promising.

These days, Emily Deschanel, who played Temperance Brennan, co-hosts the Bones rewatch podcast, Boneheads, alongside Carla Gallo (Daisy Wick). Speaking about the podcast and the TV series with Brittany Frederick of Cbr, Deschanel and Gallo both made it clear they're up to return for a new series set in the Bones universe. However, as Deschanel also pointed out, it's not a decision that's up to them, otherwise the revival would have already happened.

"I keep bringing it up! We had Tj [Thyne, who played Jack Hodgins] for that premium content, and I was like, okay, Tj, would you do a reboot? And he was like yeah,...
