Emily Deschanel Gets Candid About Reprising Her Role in Bones
Created by Hart Hanson, Bones is a police procedural drama TV series. Based on forensic anthropology and forensic archaeology, the show follows the investigation of cases when all that is left of the victims is their bones. David Boreanaz stars as the FBI special agent Seeley Booth who brings such cases to forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, portrayed by Emily Deschanel.
Although the first episode of the show received mixed reviews, the subsequent episodes did fairly well. It was also nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards and numerous People’s Choice Awards. Further, it also won two Genesis Awards for a couple of its episodes. In fact, Deschanel was even nominated for a Satellite Award for Best Actress in 2006.
Recently, while promoting her upcoming movie Continue in an interview with Collider‘s Kristina Radish, Deschanel expressed her surprise at the fact that her co-star Boreanaz had agreed to star in a reboot.
I saw that, and I was surprised that he said that he’d be open to it because he’s always said he’s not open to it. I never really thought that would happen, just because he wouldn’t be interested.
That said, the Devil in Ohio actress is also interested in a reboot. She said:
I mean, sure, I’m open to things. I don’t know if that makes sense, but I never say never.
Now, fans just have to wait for show creator Hart Hanson, and supporting actors Michaela Conlin, Eric Millegan, T. J. Thyne, and Tamara Taylor to team up for a reboot.
David Boreanaz Is Interested in Starring as Seeley Booth Again
For someone who was not very interested in revisiting his character of Booth according to Deschanel, Boreanaz gave a very detailed answer regarding what he wished to explore in a reboot/sequel of the show. He told Collider:
That’s definitely a show that I feel is an easier thing to revisit, if I did, and something that would be fun if it’s a small little hit run, or something. That’s something I would never decline to take on because it would be fun to see where Booth is and where Temperance Brennan is, and those other characters, especially their relationship and how it’s evolved over the years.
Boreanaz further said it would be nice to explore how their daughter is, and what Booth and Brennan are doing. He stated that the kind of humor in that show is the kind that anything could be done with it.
Bones is available for streaming on Hulu.
