SEASON OVERVIEW BONES, the long-running comedic procedural
beloved by millions of fans around the world, will return for a
final farewell 12th season on FOX. When the standard methods
of identifying a body are useless, law enforcement calls on DR.
TEMPERANCE BRENNAN (Emily Deschanel), a highly skilled forensic
anthropologist employed by the Jeffersonian Institute in
Washington, D.C., who writes novels on the side, for her uncanny
ability to read clues left behind in the victim’s bones. While
most people can’t handle Brennan’s intelligence and her drive
for the truth, FBI SPECIAL AGENT SEELEY BOOTH (David Boreanaz)
is an exception. A former Army sniper, he mistrusts science and
scientists – the “squints,” as he calls them – who pore over the
physical evidence of a crime. But even he cannot deny that the
combination of his people-smarts and Brennan’s scientific acumen
makes them a formidable duo, both professionally and personally.
Over the course of the series, Brennan has devoted herself to
her career, to Booth, with whom she has two children, and to her
team at the Jeffersonian. They include best friend ANGELA
MONTENEGRO (Michaela Conlin), an artist who specializes in
reconstructing facial features and crime scenes; Angela’s
husband, DR. JACK HODGINS (TJ Thyne), a conspiracy theorist and
expert on insects, spores and minerals, who is affectionately
known as “the slime and bug guy”; DR. CAMILLE “CAM” SAROYAN
(Tamara Taylor), the street-smart and centered coroner; and
Booth’s most recent colleague at the FBI, SPECIAL AGENT JAMES
AUBREY (John Boyd), a young, intrepid agent with a voracious
appetite for solving crime, junk food and career advancement.
The final season’s 12-episode run will celebrate the inventive
series and bring the storylines of Brennan, Booth and the
Jeffersonian-FBI team to a close, allowing the show’s loyal fans
to say goodbye to these indelible characters. Over the course of
the farewell season, fans will experience deaths, a wedding,
epic serial killer storylines and an undercover episode.
BONES is from Far Field Productions and Josephson Entertainment
in association with 20th Century Fox Television. The series was
created by Hart Hanson. Hanson, Barry Josephson, Stephen Nathan,
Randy Zisk, Jonathan Collier and Michael Peterson are executive
producers. “Like” BONES on Facebook at facebook.com/Bones.

death of a public defender who had multiple defendants from
previous cases with motives to kill her. In the series,
Brennan, a highly skilled forensic anthropologist who works at

using human remains as their roadmap, this exceptional team has
cracked some of the toughest cases to cross their lab tables
and, in the process,escaped near-death experiences on multiple
occasions. Inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist and
novelist Kathy Reichs, the series also has explored more ways
for human remains to have been discovered than ever thought
imaginable. With Brennan leading the way as the top
professional in the field of forensic anthropology, BONES has
inspired young girls around the world to consider a career in
science. At the same time, having stacked up more episodes than
the number of bones in the human body (206!), the series has
helped viewers distinguish between the patella (kneecap) and the
phalanges (bones in human fingers). The series also has

THE WORLDS OF THE DEAD AND THE UNDEAD COLLIDE IN A “BONES” AND “SLEEPY HOLLOW”
CROSSOVER EVENT THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, ON FOX
Just in time for Halloween, the scientific world of BONES meets the supernatural
world of SLEEPY HOLLOW in a crossover event to thrill the living, the dead and
everything in between, airing Thursday, Oct. 29. On BONES (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT),
the grisly discovery of human remains lead Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Booth
(David Boreanaz) on a hunt for clues, during which they encounter Ichabod Crane
(Tom Mison) and Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie), searching for answers of their
own. Realizing that they are after the same evidence, they team up to solve the
mystery. Then, immediately following on SLEEPY HOLLOW (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), the
intrigue continues as Ichabod’s old nemesis is back from the dead. Ichabod and
Abbie need advanced forensic help and expertise to stop him and turn to Brennan
and Booth to unlock 18th century secrets using 21st century science.
“When the idea came about to create this crossover event for fans, our writers’
room was immediately energized,” said Clifton Campbell, executive producer and
showrunner of SLEEPY HOLLOW. “The creative freedom to merge these two worlds
which, at face value, seem so different; but at their core have such striking
similarities – mystery, intrigue and methodical deduction, wrapped up in such
strong character partnerships – was a challenge that we all welcomed, and we
believe that fans of both series will be very satisfied by the result. It was a
terrific collaborative experience across the board and we are eager to see the
fan reaction to Ichabod and Abbie working alongside Brennan and Booth.”
“The BONES/SLEEPY HOLLOW crossover is like a great episode of THE X-FILES, where
the BONES hour is the Scully, logic-based perspective and the SLEEPY HOLLOW hour
is more Fox Mulder-esque,” said Michael Peterson, executive producer of BONES.
“Put them together, and it’s going to be a great two-hour event that fans of
both programs are going to love.”
SLEEPY HOLLOW is from K/O Paper Products in association with 20th Century Fox
Television. The series was created by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Phillip
Iscove and Len Wiseman. The series is executive-produced by Kurtzman, Orci,
Wiseman, Clifton Campbell, Heather Kadin, Albert Kim and Damian Kindler. “Like”
