David Boreanaz On ‘Bones’ Revival, Working With Emily Deschanel

David Boreanaz has a good feeling in his "Bones" about a revival of one of his most beloved projects.

Boreanaz, who starred as FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth for all 12 seasons of "Bones" on Fox, said he would consider rebooting the drama, although it's not of mind for him.

The show was noted for its chemistry between his character and Emily Deschanel's forensic anthropologist, Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan.

"When I really look at it, it's the type of show that was so revered and loved, and I don't want to say mindless, but it's mindless entertainment when you really think about it," he told Variety .

"The dynamic between these two characters was really fun to play, and if there's happiness and joy in it, it would be easy; it wouldn't be difficult or hard," he said. "Obviously, (a revival) would be limited. It wouldn't be this long, lengthy thing, but also working with her would be great. Trust me: It's not something that I'm focused on right now in my life where I'm at presently, but it's the one show that I would consider — and I will say, consider."

Boreanaz is an enduring presence on the small screen. In addition to "Bones," he's had roles on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," Angel" and "SEAL Team," which recently wrapped up a seven-season run. "Bones" ran from 2005 until 2017, and the relationship between Booth and Bones was one of the running storylines during the series. They would have two kids and marry during the course of the show.

As far as the actual potential for stepping back into "Bones," Boreanaz said it could be done.

"There have been conversations about stepping back (into those roles) and doing a sequence of the show somewhere — which is an easy show to recreate. It's not rocket science, right? It's something that you can just jump in and out of, which would be fun to do," he said.

"Being in Quantico and at the actual FBI recently, I was like, 'I'm home! Booth is home!' What you could do and start from there alone would be great. I was walking Quantico and the FBI, and I was like, 'Imagine doing this great walk-and-talk here and having to find a body where the FBI is. That'd be hilarious!' So you never know ..."

Boreanaz already has an idea where Booth and Bones would be today.

"Booth probably would be getting honored in Quantico, at the actual FBI. We would have a daughter who was at least 15, 16," he said. "She'd be entering college, probably studying the tactics of wanting to be an FBI agent, which would drive her mother crazy. And maybe she changes course and has a forensic anthropology class within that study of becoming an FBI agent. Who knows?

"I think Booth is not really active and retired, and has to be drawn back into a case, to solve something that happened on the grounds of the FBI," he continued. "I think Brennan just keeps writing books and getting accolades. She'd be on the New York Times bestsellers lists, probably finishing another book tour, and she's in the middle of the book tour and has to get to the FBI in light of this award that I'm getting. And then s- hits the fan. I can see it, man!"

Boreanaz also gushed when speaking about the experience of working with Deschanel.

"I miss her sunshine, her smile, her will to stretch the boundaries of a scene," he said, when asked what he missed most about his former co-star.

"What's great about her is that she's so willing to do the work, and be there for you," he added. "That's what I miss so much about her. I don't think I ever got mad at Emily. That's just an energy thing, and I miss her so much. I speak very fondly of her, and we still talk."
