‘Bones’ Showrunner Hart Hanson Spills About the Show’s 100th Episode, Season Finale

Created by executive producer Hart Hanson and loosely based on the life and novels of Kathy Reichs, the crime procedural “Bones” stars Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz as, respectively, forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth. An unlikely pair of crimefighters, the duo have spent the past five years bickering and flirting over any number of gruesome — yet somehow, still amusing — murder investigations and decomposing bodies.

Tonight, during the show’s 100th episode (”The Parts in the Sum of the Whole”) viewers will finally learn the backstory of how Brennan and Booth met for the first time and the case that brought them together. In addition to co-starring, Boreanaz also directed the episode, marking his second time behind the the camera for the series.

Speakeasy recently talked to Hanson, who’s currently in Chicago filming a pilot for the show “Pleading Guilty.” (The pilot is based on the Scott Turow novel and stars Jason Isaacs as a ex-cop-turned-attorney.)
