Exclusive: Jennifer Holland, who has played Agent Emilia Harcourt in James Gunn’s DC movie The Suicide Squad and spinoff series Peacemaker, has signed with Strand Entertainment for representation.
Holland has reprised the tough-as-nails Harcourt in such DC movies as Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam and Shazam! Fury of the Gods.
Season 2 of Peacemaker began production back in the spring. The series follows John Cena’s Suicide Squad anti-hero as he’s enlisted for the enigmatic A.R.G.U.S. black ops squad for “Project Butterfly”. His mission is to find and eliminate parasitic butterfly-like creatures who have taken over human bodies. The second season will reportedly premiere after Gunn’s Superman which doesn’t hit theaters until July 11, 2025. Gunn will direct some episodes with Greg Mottola directing others. Tim Meadows is part of season 2.
Holland also starred opposite Chad Michael Murray in the CMT series Sun Records. She also appeared in American Horror Story...

Michael B. Jordan is one of the most exciting actors of his generation. Ever since breakout role as Wallace in "The Wire," Jordan has left a mark on every project he's been, with memorable roles in everything from soaps like "All My Children," to indie work like "Fruitvale Station" and even superhero fare like his excellent job as Killmonger in "Black Panther" — truly, every time Jordan collaborates with Ryan Coogler, they produce magic, which is why we absolutely can't wait for "Sinners." Then there's his directorial work in "Creed III," a fantastic film that brings anime aesthetics and rivalries to the popular boxing franchise.
Jordan is an example of why overnight success isn't really a thing with actors. Sure, there are roles that can give an actor a much bigger audience (and paycheck), but those don't happen in the blink of an eye. Instead, they are the product of years...

Tensions are high with Kagurabachi and the race between four major studios that want the rights to animate the masterpiece. Takeru Hokazono has truly made it when studios can’t even decide who should take this incredible dark fantasy anime. Kagurabachi, however, doesn’t need a major studio to animate it to have the best adaptation possible. It requires a studio that can match its vibe accurately and not ruin it with unnecessary changes that would make Kagurabachi lose its essence.

The case with several popular anime that major studios animate is that they are treated as cash grabs or their employees are overworked and exploited. Mappa is notorious for this with its million of projects. Toei Animation, while they do a brilliant job of animating One Piece, drag out the scenes to milk the anime. However, if a small studio like Ufotable or CloverWorks picks up Kagurabachi,...

Not every TV show or movie ages gracefully, and to some extent, that's fine; some art is a product of its time, and while the ideas and goals of that art might be admirable, sometimes societal changes will lead to the re-evaluation of the work. Sometimes, a TV show or movie just has stuff that's not necessarily offensive, but just doesn't make any sense. That definitely applies to the Fox procedural "Bones," which came to an end in 2017 after twelve seasons.
"Bones" is, as I just said, a procedural — and anyone who's watched, say, "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" or "NCIS" or any other popular show in that genre knows they all take some liberties with reality. They sort of have to; a real forensic anthropologist — the occupation of "Bones" leading lady Temperance Brennan, played by Emily Deschanel — probably doesn't encounter quite as much intrigue as "Bones" would have you believe.

There hasn't been a surer big screen bet in Hollywood over the last 30-plus years than James Cameron -- though he doesn't always make it easy on the studio footing the bill for his latest film on the way to the multiplex. Since recovering from his only true box office disappointment in 1989's "The Abyss" (which also happens to be his best movie), Cameron has been on the hook for The Most Expensive Movie Ever Made at least three times. Studio heads try their mightiest to never wind up holding that bag, but they also don't want to be the clown that said no to Cameron only to watch the maestro take his nine-figure "gamble" across town, where it becomes The Highest Grossing Movie Ever Made (a peak Cameron has summited twice) for their competitor.
Given the exorbitant price tags of his movies, Cameron places additional pressure on the studio...

The formula ain’t broke, and CBS’s latest addition to its beloved “NCIS” franchise, focused on young Agent Gibbs, doesn’t plan to fix it.
“NCIS” is one of the jewels in the crown of the CBS network. It’s a well-oiled machine of naval-related crime-solving that has remained one of the most-viewed shows on television for over two decades. The series that started it all way back in 2002 is 22 seasons in and has outlasted three of its four spin-offs. It only makes sense for the network to keep that good ship moving forward, even though surely they’ve run out of navy-specific murders to solve at this point. Maybe that’s why this new series is a prequel, focusing on the franchise’s original hero, Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
“NCIS: Origins” opens on a two-parter (now tradition for this franchise) that reintroduces audiences to Gibbs. Mark Harmon,...

If you work closely alongside another actor for twelve seasons, you'll probably miss them from time to time — especially when you go on to work on other projects without that person. In a recent Variety interview about his career to this point — including his recently concluded CBS and Paramount+ series "Seal Team" — David Boreanaz was asked what he misses most about his "Bones" co-star Emily Deschanel, who played forensic anthropologist Temperance "Bones" Brennan ... and whose character ultimately marries and has a family with Boreanaz's FBI agent Seeley Booth.
"I miss her sunshine, her smile, her will to stretch the boundaries of a scene," Boreanaz opined, before saying that the two had one conflict that ended up serving their on-set connection. "I remember showing up one day on set early on, and I was upset about something. We kind of went at each other in a way that was healthy, but at the same time,...

"Bones" was never a megahit, nor was it known for its narrative brilliance or novel premise. However, this doesn't change the fact that the show ran for 12 (!) seasons and spanned 246 episodes, offering perfectly palatable popcorn entertainment in a way few shows can. Being a crime procedural drama, "Bones" follows FBI special agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) and forensic anthropologist Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel), who pore over human remains to crack difficult cases. Although this description does not necessarily scream "fun," "Bones" managed to keep things appropriately balanced, mixing serious, entertaining case premises with a certain brand of endearing silliness.
"Bones" could have stuck to the case-of-the-week template at all times to keep things moving, but the series aimed for something a bit more ambitious, and often executed themed episodes. While the results were mixed, the heart of "Bones" is undoubtedly the simmering romance between the leads, who could not...

Even though it ended in 2017 after twelve seasons, "Bones" is still a seriously popular procedural series, drawing new audiences on streaming services and remaining completely rewatchable after all these years. So what's the secret to the show's success? Star David Boreanaz thinks he knows the answer — and it has everything to do with his acting teacher, Ivana Chubbuck.
In an interview with Variety, where Boreanaz also discussed the series finale of "Seal Team," the series he led for CBS and Paramount+ until it officially ended on October 6, Boreanaz explained that he and his "Bones" co-star, Emily Deschanel, worked extensively with Chubbuck to perfect their characters (Boreanaz's FBI agent Seeley Booth and Deschanel's forensic anthropologist Temperance "Bones" Brennan).

Known for starring in the hit CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory, Mayim Bialik has enjoyed a remarkable career that began as a child actress in the late 1980s. She appeared in several films and led the sitcom Blossom before stepping back from prominent acting roles.

The hiatus seems to have left her somewhat disconnected from the pop culture landscape, which seemingly became evident when Bialik later admitted that she didn’t know about Jim Parsons when she secured the role of his on-screen partner, Amy, in the sitcom.

Have you been missing Bones on Fox? The investigative TV show was a big hit for viewers for 12 seasons starting in 2005. David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel took the lead as the main characters. The final season of Bones aired in 2017 after several years of serious success. Is it possible David and Emily might link back up for a reboot or revival of the show? Here’s what you should know.
David Boreanaz Is Open To A Revival Of Bones
On Bones, David played the character of Seely Booth, a special agent from the FBI. He would always link up with a forensic anthropologist named Dr. Temperance Brennan. Her nickname was “Bones” since she always analyzed bone fragments at different crime scenes. Emily’s the actress who handled that role.

"Bones" — the procedural drama centered around forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and her FBI counterpart Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) ran from 2005 to 2017, spanning nearly 250 episodes and 12 full seasons. But will it ever come back for a revival?
It seems like everything is getting a reboot or revival now. Earlier this year, they reinvented "Mean Girls" as a musical starring Reneé Rapp, and shortly after that came out, Jake Gyllenhaal headlined a remake movie of the '80s classic "Road House" for a new generation. In Ryan Gosling's (delightful) action comedy "The Fall Guy," Lee Majors and Heather Thomas, who played the lead roles in the original series, show up in cameo appearances at the very end of the film. Throughout the past few years, everything from "Cobra Kai" to "Fuller House" to the long-awaited fourth season of "Veronica Mars" has reunited original cast members for another go-around. So why not "Bones?...

HGTV star Mina Starsiak Hawk has had to close down her second Two Chicks District Co. store just seven months after it opened. The Good Bones star opened up to the Indianapolis Star about the decision to shutter the business, which opened back in March in Noblesville, Indiana.

When you're hired to do a job, carrying out your duties in a professional, effective manner does not mean you have to like all of the people you work with. Obviously, you need to treat all of your coworkers with a modicum of respect (unless they're creeps or utter incompetents), but you're also allowed to be completely annoyed by the people you see five or more days a week.
This gets tricky, however, when your job requires you to fake like you not only dig your coworker, but, in some cases, are head-over-heels in love with them. Actors are already unique creatures who use their imaginations to make a living; when they develop an outsized ego or are just plain weird, pretending that they're the apple of your eye can be positively brutal.

If you weren't watching the season 11 finale of "Bones" — titled "The Nightmare in the Nightmare" — live when it aired in the summer of 2016, you might not know that it was pre-empted by a particularly divisive politician ... and star Emily Deschanel was really ticked off about the whole thing.
On July 21 of that year — which, as you probably know, happened to be an election year! — "Bones" tried to air this exciting episode that brings a long-lost character back into the mix, but the broadcast was completely uninterrupted by Donald Trump's speech at that year's Republican National Convention where he accepted the nomination for President of the United States. Considering that the speech went on for a whopping 75 minutes, it makes sense that anything airing on, say, Fox might have to wait until Trump wrapped up his whole thing, and that meant "Bones" experienced a major interruption.

The popular 2005 police procedural series "Bones" is full of murder, gore, desiccated corpses, and ... bones. Most episodes begin with the two main characters, "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz), coming across a corpse, often discovered in an unusual or disturbing death pose. The two agents, backed up by a team of passionate pathologists, will then reverse-engineer the circumstances of the corpse's death and determine the depth of foul play involved. There was typically a great deal of foul play involved.
Like other violent shows about death, murder, and corpses, "Bones" was ideal comfort viewing. Despite all the blood, violence, and misery, "Bones" often skewed tonally light, usually involving eccentric side characters and flippant gallows quips. Also, Bones and Brennan typically solved the mysteries of the rotten cadavers, displaying a police investigative system that worked as perfectly as it was designed to.

Deschanel and Carla Gallo, who recurred as Daisy, have gotten together to do just that with Boneheads (a production of Lemonada Media), premiering on September 18. Below, they talk about the podcast and its special guests, as well as if they’d do a Bones revival. What appealed to you about doing this podcast together? Emily Deschanel: Carla and I love chatting. We’ve become friends since we did the show together. Carla Gallo: Your best friend and my best friend are also best friends. Deschanel: We have a stronger friendship than when we finished the show,...

A Reddit thread revealed that some "Bones" fans were a little confused by the season 1 credit sequence — and as a result, they mixed up two of the actors.
During the season 1 credits, for whatever reason, actor T.J. Thyne's name runs under an image of Emily Deschanel — who plays the show's lead character, Temperance "Bones" Brennan" — and these Redditors admitted that this was seriously baffling at the time. As the original poster u/camdoodlebop titled the thread (complete with a screenshot), "did anyone else as a kid used to think her name was Tj Thyne?"
u/Chilly_0556 agreed and said they had that exact same issue: "Yes lmao. I first watched Bones with my brother when I was like 10, he was 14 hahaha, we'd watch episodes together sometimes. It was funny when I actually started watching it again, and realised that wasn't her name." At least the people on the thread...

"Bones," as the title of the show implies, often centers on, well, bones. The team of Brennan and Booth, played by Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz in every episode of the series, investigate various, bizarre murders, making up the procedural format that carried this show for well over 200 episodes across 12 seasons. It's easy enough to write a unique dead body, but it's a little harder to create that dead body on a network TV budget. Sometimes, that meant using old-school practical effects.
In "Bones: The Official Companion," the creatives behind the show discussed the season 2 episode "The Glowing Bones in the Old Stone House." That title, aside from serving a practical purpose for the creators, let viewers know that Brennan and Both were going to find some glowing bones, which they indeed did. But how did the team make those bones glow for viewers? Producer Jan DeWitt explained precisely how...

Modern Family‘s Eric Stonestreet was allegedly nasty to a podcast host, exposing a very different side to him away from his character, Cameron Tucker. The character won over audiences with his creative flair and incredibly empathetic nature in the series. However, Taylor Strecker called him the worst guest on her podcast.

Stonestreet is far from the lovable gay character in the fan-favorite sitcom. He light-heartedly described himself as “openly straight” and shared in another instance that his real-life persona came off as deadpan when compared to a cheerful Cam. Even Stonestreet admitted that he often disappointed Modern Family fans.

If you're a fan of the long-running crime procedural "Bones" — which kicked off in 2005 and concluded in 2017, spanning 12 seasons and 246 episodes — then you're definitely familiar with its core cast, who play a mix of scientists and cops trying to solve cases using forensics and, well, a whole lot of bones.
Based on the book series by real-life forensics expert Kathy Reichs and led by Emily Deschanel as the titular "Bones" — or, more accurately, forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, who bears the on-the-nose nickname "Bones" — the show centers around the fictional Jeffersonian Institute Medico-Legal Lab, which collaborates with the FBI to solve cases based on sparse human remains in Washington D.C. So what happened to the core cast of "Bones" since the show ended in the late 2010s, and what projects have they undertaken since playing police officers and scientific experts?

David Boreanaz Reflects on Booth-Brennan Romance & First ‘Bones’ Cover for TV Guide Magazine (Video)
David Boreanaz has gone from one long-running show to another, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Angel to Bones to Seal Team. Ahead of the final season of the Paramount+ military drama, he stopped by TV Insider and TV Guide Magazine’s office, and we had him take a look at a past cover for Bones. “That is the tie, the suit. You can’t see the cocky belt buckle because it’s covered up right there. But that was on. I remember the ties. That was one of the things that I loved so much with Agent Booth and being able to mix different specific, crazy, wacky ties and amongst other different types of props that I had for him,” the actor who played FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth remarked, taking a look at the November 27 – December 3, 2006 TV Guide Magazine issue, which came out during the drama’s second season.

"Bones" had a truly impressive run during its time on-air. Debuting on Fox back in 2005, Hart Hanson's procedural dramedy quickly became a hit, thanks in large part to stars Emily Deschanel and David Boreanez, who played forensic anthropologist Temperance "Bones" Brennan and FBI agent Seeley Booth respectively. The duo managed to carry the show's balance between truly grim subject matter and its more lighthearted elements in a way that kept the series running for a full 12 seasons. Unfortunately, Fox finally canceled "Bones" in 2017 after 246 episodes.
Since then, fans of the series have had to make do with re-watching the episodes that did air (short-lived spin-off "The Finder" just couldn't match the charm or the success of its precursor). But with almost 250 episodes to revisit, there's not exactly a paucity of "Bones" out there. Still, with the show now having been off the air for seven years, enough time has...

He spoke with TV Insider about that reveal as well as what’s to come, which includes being directed by series star and executive producer David Boreanaz in Episode 6 (dropping on Paramount+ on September 8). And with that moment, history repeats itself for Knapp. The actor guest starred on Bones, which starred Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel, in 2013, in the Season 8 finale, “The Secret in the Siege,” which was part of the Pelant (Andrew Leeds) arc. He played a suspect, Zane Reynolds, and he was also directed by Boreanaz in that episode.

Elsbeth stands out because it is one of the only lighthearted mysteries on television, but it never used to be that way.
These types of mysteries were extremely popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Murder She Wrote, Diagnosis: Murder, and Matlock were all top-rated shows, and that trend continued into the early 2000s when Monk and Psych captivated viewers.
Modern television is more likely to feature realistic, gritty police procedurals than lighthearted mysteries, but Elsbeth’s success suggests the tide could be turning back again.

Mediawan has made it official that their majority stake in Lorenzo Mieli and Mario Gianani’s Our Films has closed as the Venice Film Festival gets underway. News of both parties’ union began to emerge out of Cannes.
The investment is in line with Mediawan’s strategy of creating a Pan-European studio, home to more than 80 production companies. The Paris-based studio made a majority investment in Brad Pitt’s Plan B back in December 2022 with four of that shingle’s projects premiering on the Lido: Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the Apple Jon Watts directed Pitt-George Clooney comedy noir Wolfs, and documentaries One to One: John & Yoko, directed by Kevin Macdonald, and Apocalypse in the Tropics directed by Petra Costa.
Mieli and Gianani departed as CEOs of their respective Fremantle labels, Wildside and The Apartment, in January, and launched their Rome, Italy-based Our Films earlier this year.

"Bones" isn't just a show with more than 200 episodes spread out over 12 seasons and a devoted fanbase. The secret sauce is that it followed a comfortable formula, for the most part, with the show's leads Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Booth (David Boreanaz) largely tackling a murder of the week plot. All the while, throughlines for the series would further along the way. It's the kind of show that has started to disappear in the age of streaming, which might help to explain its enduring appeal. But even series with a formula have to break that formula now and again.
In "Bones: The Official Companion," it's explained that series creator Hart Hanson largely resisted putting the main characters in any major jeopardy episode to episode. The season 2 episode "The Killer in the Concrete" was cited as an example of turning the usual formula on its head a bit. Here's what Hanson...

"Bones" seems like the kind of police procedural dreamt up by a network desperate to win the ratings war: A couple of attractive leads clash over their opposing views of the world, with the logical, scientifically-minded Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) frequently at odds with the more spiritually-inclined FBI Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz). But the show wasn't just engineered to appeal to audiences in the early 2000s. It's actually based on real-life anthropologist Katherine Joan Reichs.
Reichs was the author of 23 novels in the "Temperance Brennan" series, which is often thought to have inspired "Bones." But Dr. Reichs herself was actually the primary inspiration for the show, which ran on the Fox network for 12 seasons between 2005 and 2017. Show creator Hart Hanson confirmed that he was influenced by the real-life forensic anthropologist when conceptualizing "Bones," and has since incorporated specific incidents from her life into the show.

"Bones" is arguably one of the most successful network TV shows of the 2000s. In terms of sheer numbers, it's hard to argue against. It ran for a truly impressive 12 seasons on Fox, churning out a whopping 246 episodes. That's downright unthinkable in the streaming world we now live in, unless we're talking about reality TV. Each one of those episodes has a catchy title, such as the season 2 episode "Aliens in a Spaceship," which remains a fan-favorite. But the titles weren't crafted solely to be catchy or suggestive of the plot. It turns out, they were meant to help keep things straight for the writers.
In "Bones: The Official Companion," executive producers Hart Hanson and Stephen Nathan discussed the episode titles, with "Spaceman in a Crater" cited as an example. The book explains that, first and foremost, each "Bones" episode title refers to both the victim and the state in which the body was found.

As Dr. Temperance Brennan and Special Agent Seeley Booth, Emily Deschanel and David Boreanez were the heart of "Bones". But almost as important were the so-called "squints" — the team of scientists who work under Brennan at the fictional Jeffersonian Institute Medico-Legal Lab. That team also comprised the "squinterns" — a rotating cast of interns at the institute who work with Brennan on various cases. So integral to the show were these supporting characters that saying goodbye to the "squinterns" for the season finale caused Emily Deschanel to break down in tears.
Agent Booth used the term "squints" to refer to Brennan and her team in the very first episode of the series back in 2005, and the term stuck throughout the show's 12-season run, right up to its 2017 finale. As Boreanez explained it:
"It's a term that I'd never heard of until we started the pilot [...] [The scientists are] always down, squinting at their pieces of paper.

John Legend welcomed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention, performing a song by one of Minnesota’s greatest artists: Prince. Ahead of Walz’s acceptance as the party’s vice presidential nominee, Legend honored the Gopher state, where Walz coached high school football before becoming governor.
