David Boreanaz<\/strong><\/a> is on board for a revival of Bones<\/em>, the beloved Fox crime procedural that also starred Emily Deschanel<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was lightning in a bottle,\u201d Boreanaz, 55, told TV Insider<\/em><\/a> of the long-running series<\/a> in a new interview published on Thursday, August 8, before praising his costar and the bond they formed on set. \u201cI hold that so near and dear, and it would be great to relive that again.\u201d<\/p>\n Boreanaz \u2013 who portrayed Agent Seeley Booth opposite Deschanel\u2019s Dr. Temperance \u201cBones\u201d Brennan \u2013 went on to tell the outlet that he knows how much fans still love the show, making the argument for a revival that much stronger.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is the work ethic that we had putting into these characters and what we put out was entertainment for them, and I just can\u2019t tell you how much love and admiration we get from fans for these two characters. And to see them come back would be great,\u201d he said, noting that a potential reboot would be an \u201ceasy one to do because it\u2019s so fun.\u201d<\/p>\n He added, \u201cIt\u2019s not like, really, what are you going to do with it? It\u2019s just a lot of heart.\u201d<\/p>\n Boreanaz also touched on the impact Bones<\/em> had on the way crime procedurals were written. Though the nature of the show was graphic, the character development, as well as infusing as much dark humor as possible into the dialogue and plot, breathed new life into what could have been a normal crime drama.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen that show started, the procedurals were very story plot-driven, and we broke that mold and we were proud of that, that we could have these characters have fun over the corpses that [Brennan] was just banging out words about,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I\u2019m just kind of, catch the killer and talk about last night\u2019s blender that didn\u2019t work in the morning or at night and how much you don\u2019t like eggs and how much I love [something].\u201d<\/p>\n While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a> in 2019, Deschanel, 47, had similar sentiments about her and Boreanaz\u2019s characters.<\/p>\n \u201cI remember loving the dialogue between the two characters, really quick witty repartee, and I liked that relationship,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cI liked that it was a strong female character. When you sign on to do a TV show you have to think about the long term, especially in the beginning when you\u2019re doing the pilot, what kind of message you\u2019re putting out there for people.\u201d<\/p>\n You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n She added, \u201cYounger people watched it, so you have to think about young girls watching the show and seeing female role models and scientists who are really smart and accomplished in their careers, and are successful.\u201d<\/p>\n Bones<\/em> premiered on Fox in 2005 and ran for 12 seasons<\/a> until 2017. The show was nominated for two Emmy Awards during its run: Outstanding Art Direction For A Single-Camera Series (2009) and Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Supporting Role (2012).<\/p>\n The full series can be streamed on Hulu, Amazon Prime and other streaming services.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"David](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/David-Boreanaz-Opens-Up-About-Possible-Bones-Revival-927.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")
