Another key Bones creative has rallied behind a potential revival alongside leads David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel. The Fox police procedural focuses on the cases of the Jeffersonian Institute Medico-Legal Lab, and their developing relationships in their personal lives. Beginning in September 2005, Bones ran for 246 episodes across 12 seasons to generally positive praise, plus several award nominations and wins for certain cast and episodes. In addition to Boreanaz and Deschanel, Bones leading cast featured Michael Conlin, T.J. Thyne, Tamara Taylor, John Francis Daley, Eric Millegan, John Boyd, and Patricia Belcher.

After Boreanaz and Deschanel voiced their desire to unearth Bones for a new season, Reichs threw her behind the two lead stars through her Twitter .

Quote-tweeting fan @nxnissTBL's post sharing their excitement about Deschanel and Boreanaz's recent Bones revival hopes, Reichs stated that she too hopes a revival will come to be. Reichs not only acted as a producer on the series, but she also penned the novels that inspired it, having drawn from her real-world experience as a forensic anthropologist.

What Is The Current Status Of A Bones Revival?

The Series' Ending And Changing Perspectives Help A Revival's Chances

Boreanaz first sparked talk of a potential Bones revival in August, with a noticeably more enthusiastic tone. Though he reiterated that he felt that the show was a unique success that would be hard to replicate, he would always be willing to reunite with the cast and crew for any potential revival. Deschanel then responded to her co-star's comments with surprise that Boreanaz was now open to returning, and shared her own openness about the possibility.

Furthermore, Bones' twelfth and final season did conclude at a place where a revival would easily be able to reunite the cast for new chapters of their lives. Despite the season concluding with a multi-episode storyline that endangered several characters and gave Brennan a major injury, most of the Jeffersonian Institute's emerged unscathed and went their separate ways. As such, reuniting the fan-favorite crew for new cases several years after viewers last met them would be easy.

Reichs now pledging her to a potential revival might lead to streamers taking an interest in digging up the series for a new generation.

With a successful 12-season run, Bones was able to attract a strong fanbase that s the series to this day, and would be open to ing any new revival project. With more cast and crew following on from Boreanaz's change of heart, it is clear that any revival could have the full of the majority of the cast. Reichs now pledging her to a potential revival might lead to streamers taking an interest in digging up the series for a new generation.

Boreanaz Is Still A Big Name On TV

Another positive sign for the Bones revival series' creation is the fact that Boreanaz has stayed an active name in television. Just months after Bones ended in March 2017, Boreanaz made his debut in SEAL Team in September 2017. SEAL Team sees Boreanaz play Jason Hayes, a Navy SEAL who is the Master Chief Petty Officer of Bravo team. SEAL Team has been incredibly successful for the network, airing over 100 episodes.

Boreanaz's appearance in SEAL Team will give him continued recognition among TV fans, easily bridging the gap for him to be featured in a Bones revival show. SEAL Team also recently saw a mini-Bones reunion when Beau Knapp, who was in the Bones season 8 finale, appeared alongside Boreanaz on the show. Though Knapp had not been a major character on Bones, the reunion was nonetheless an exciting merge of Bones talents. Between this mini-reunion and the enthusiasm from multiple Bones creatives, the chances of a Bones revival have vastly improved.

SEAL Team is available to stream on Paramount+.

While having SEAL Team on for the last seven years is good for Boreanaz's visibility, it is also good that SEAL Team season 7 will be its last. This makes it such that the actor would have room in his schedule for a Bones revival should it come to fruition. In a similar vein, Deschanel has been a part of a completed series, including Devil in Ohio and Animal Kingdom. The actors' willingness and schedule availability are both good for a potential Bones revival, making it such that their fantasized reboot could become a logistical reality.
