“Bones,” a comedy-drama crime procedural television series that aired on Fox from 2005 to 2017, spanned 12 seasons and 246 episodes. Loosely based on the life and novels of forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs, who also served as a producer, the show followed FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth and forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan.
Temperance Brennan, named after Reichs’ crime fiction character, writes mystery books in the series featuring a fictional forensic scientist named Kathy Reichs. Each episode revolves around an FBI investigation into mysteries surrounding human remains.
The show’s popularity stemmed not only from its investigative plots but also from the characters’ relationships and personal dramas. Even six years after its conclusion, discussions about a revival have surfaced. Creator Hart Hanson expressed the cast and creators’ interest in returning, provided the story is perfect. However, the Disney acquisition of 20th Century Fox has raised legal questions about the series’ rights.
As of December 13, 2023, a potential revival remains uncertain due to legal considerations. In the meantime, fans can explore the post-“Bones” careers of the cast members, as the article delves into their respective endeavors since the series finale in 2017.
