Emily Deschanel spent more than a decade as the face of one of Fox’s most successful dramas, playing forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan as she teamed up with FBI Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) to crack cases. Now, following the 20th anniversary of Bones and nearly ten years after the finale, Deschanel is coming to a new TV project involving the fictional FBI.
The Bones leading lady has signed on to star in a pilot for NBC following a psychologist who leads a team that consults with the FBI on “baffling and elusive cases,” according to Variety. Deschanel would play Professor Georgia Ryan, who “challenges the field of criminology” by focusing on the victim as well as the perpetrator of a crime. This could lead to clues that would otherwise be overlooked under traditional methods of investigation.
