Bones is currently airing season 11 on FOX, but fans might be in for “many more” seasons if the new showrunner has his way. Michael Peterson joined the series starring Emily Deschanel and David Boreanz in its fourth season, and now he is the man in charge.
Peterson spoke with Assignment X about the recent crossover episode between Bones and Sleepy Hollow, and he was asked about the series possibly ending this season. He gave an honest answer to that question.
“I want to do it forever. I’ve loved doing it for seven years, I think there’s a lot more story left to tell, and my plan always is to keep going. Eventually, the studio and the network will tell me when I have to stop, but I don’t ever want to stop.”
Earlier this year, Boreanz said that this would be his last season on the series. Could the show go on without Booth? Would you want to watch the series? Tell us what you think.
Definitely needs Brennan, Angela, and Hodgins. Brennan and Booth have lost that onscreen magic. Let him go.
Think that I would not watch it anymore, other than reruns. It would be hard to replace him, especially since he is literally the lighter side of Dr. Brennan/Bones. I can not imagine the show being able to go on without one of the two main characters. I hated when Sweets left, but he was not one of the two main characters. Just can’t see the show without Booth.
I would hate to see David go, the show could continue without him. I was sad and upset when Sweets left but I still enjoy Bones as much as I did when he was on it!!!!
Hart Hanson made two other shows with eccentric leads, The Finder and Backstrom. Neither of those leads had a partner to interact with. Neither of those shows made it past the first season. No Booth no show
David is a part of Bones !!! Without him and Emily it would not be the same! I thought David said that if this is the last year it needs to go out well not like last year when they didn’t know up to the end! That being said I WANT &NEED Bones to go on indefinitely!!!!!
Yes, absolutely I think Bones could go on without Mr Boreanaz. The chemistry between B&B has either evaporated….. Or either they/B&B chose not to have any more kissing or romantic scenes together, I know episode (6) had little romantic scene, but no kissing. The writers see both on Facebook & Twitter, We Fans would like to see more romance & kissing, but after (6) going on (7) episode this is missing……. Yes, I believe if Ms Deschanel wants to continue with the show, she can do it………She is an awesome actress & with Angela & Hodgins, Caroline, Cam, & Aubrey….would… Read more »
I think the showrunner of “Bones” is just stating that just so “Bones” can avoid ending its run before “The Simpsons” does. Pretty soon, around half of the scripted series on U.S. broadcast TV are gonna be scared to end their original runs before “The Simpsons” does. All this just to get back at Al Jean (the showrunner for “The Simpsons), “The Simpsons” itself, and pretty much every animated “floating timeline” show. “Bones” practically just wants to be “The Anti-Simpsons”.
I would miss Booth terribly but it could go on without him. She managed without Booth before they got together as a couple and they could backfill with some other agent or a totally different type of relationship, maybe another scientist as a love interest with and using another FBI agent. If forever doesn’t get started again maybe bring in Ioan Gruffield as a coroner or some other type of scientist (he played one on Forever).
I would not watch Bones if David Boreanz left. I love the chemistry between the two. It wouldn’t be worth watching if he left. If he stays, a few more seasons would be great.
I love Bones. I have watched it since the beginning. I don’t think the show would be worth watching with only one of them. The show has survived on the chemistry between Booth and Bones since the beginning, that to loose one or the other would loose what makes it work. I would hate to see it end, but in reality it can’t last forever. But a few more seasons would be great.
I don’t know how it would be without, I guess we will just wait and see.
Sounds is a great serials I love it am sure glad you
can have many many more seasons
I hope the show lasts a few more seasons
I think the show would lose the family connection it has built between the characters. If that connection could survive then maybe…
Sounds is a great series I love it and I’m sure glad that you can have many many more seasons and I hope it’s the truth cuz I love the series and so does everybody have been in no loves the series keep them coming.
