Emily Deschanel was wholly unaware that Bones had gotten a futuristic reboot (of sorts), until TVLine looped her in during the video Q&A above.
TVLine spoke with Deschanel ahead of this Friday’s premiere of Devil in Ohio, an eight-episode Netflix drama in which she plays Dr. Suzanne Mathis, a hospital psychiatrist who quietly shelters a cult escapee named Mae (played by Snowpiercer alum Madeleine Arthur). Suzanne’s world is soon turned upside down as the mysterious Mae’s presence threatens to tear her own family apart.
Sam Jaeger (Parenthood) plays Suzanne’s husband, while Alisha Newton (Heartland), Xaria Dotson (American Vandal) and Naomi Tan play the couple’s three daughters.
In fostering Mae on the sly, Suzanne “does this very questionable thing,” Deschanel affirms at the top of the video above. But “as the series goes on, things are revealed about Suzanne herself that start to explain why she feels such a strong drive to save Mae, and protect her.”
As the series’ title suggests, what Mae needs “protection” from is a cult that more than dabbles in satan worship, and that subject matter thrust Deschanel into brand-new territory — unless, the actress had to wonder aloud, there was ones a Bones episode about such a thing!
Speaking of the Fox procedural that used to be her calling card (and, well, devils)…. TVLine alerted Deschanel to the fact that Netflix’s Lucifer during its final season established (via a time-traveling angel) that the future will bring us More Bones, a reboot in which Temp and Seeley’s grown, cyborg daughter partners with an android to solve crimes.
At the 3:00 mark above, Deschanel shares her very candid reaction to the reboot (“That’s amazing!”), before offering her current POV on whether more Bones is actually, eventually to come. “David Boreanaz says nope, he’s not doing it. But ‘never say never’ for me,” she says.
Deschanel closes out our Q&A by dishing on her stealth, spring 2021 role on ABC’s The Rookie, which paired her with Castle alum Nathan Fillion. When we suggest that Castle’s Stana Katic now needs to show up on Boreanaz’s SEAL Team to bring things full circle, Deschanel at the 4:15 mark reveals that she just might have the contacts to make that happen!
Loved both Bones and Castle would be nice to see something in the future from them
Sealy and Bones have a cyborg daughter? Are you freaking kidding? Ridiculous so good luck with that.
I would love to see Bones get a reboot. I watch the series wherever I find it on the T.V.
Bones is one of my absolute favorite series!! I would love to see Emily and David and the rest of the cast back at it!!!
The fact a Bones revival is even being DISCUSSED is stunning after Fox did Emily, David, producers Barry Josephson and Kathy Reichs so wrong with their residuals smoke and mirrors that cost them $180m. The *hubris* staggers.
I’ll never forgive neither forget the Obama propaganda episode they made in Bones.
It was a violation of unwritten moral and ethical code with spectators that the author and actors must respect the narrative and not use the time they give you to show something else.
Basically afterwards it broke the narrative and i stopped seeing it.
I am not American.
Oh I would love it if there was a Reboot of Bones. One of my all time, favorite shows. With the Old Gang it would be so Awesome! Talking about Bones I have some catching up to do with Seal Team.
I would love to see the team back together again, as I have watched the hole series multiple times, but I’m not interested if they make it with Christine as a cyborg.
If they did make the show like that, then they would have to explain how she became a cyborg and other vital information like that.
