Bones
Casting News

Numerous Bones spoilers have hinted at it, but star David Boreanaz has finally confirmed the anticipated casting news:

Zooey Deschanel will join her sister for an episode of the hit Fox show.

Speaking to E! News over the weekend, Boreanaz said:

"I do know that Emily's sister is going to be on the next episode, which is exciting. I think she's going to play Emily's cousin. It's a whole relationship thing that's going on now with us and it continues to grow and grow and get crazy."

Bones is taking two weeks off, but will return with a new episode on November 5. Look for Zooey to appear in an episode around Christmas.

** Update: Zooey will play Margaret Whitesell, a distant relative of Brennan. For the episode, Brennan's father, Max Keenan invites Margaret to spend Christmas with him and his daughter.

Bones has found a grandfather for Booth.

Former The Waltons star will portray Hank Booth, a former army EMT, that appears in the November 19 episode "The Foot in the Foreclosure."

Said producer Stephan Nathan of the installment and the role: “This is a really good murder. All that’s left is ash and one foot, and Hank can’t help but tag along.”

Tune in November 19 to hear the insightful Bones quotes Booth's grandfather has to offer.

The upcoming episode will be an vital one in the Bones lore. Viewers will learn the reasons behind Booth’s abusive father abandoning his son at age 11.

The series is currently casting for that important role, as well, but Mr. Booth won't appear for awhile.

“You can’t introduce too many relatives at once," said Nathan.

We didn't see this piece of casting news coming.

Insiders have confirmed to Michael Ausiello that Cyndi Lauper is negotiating for a recurring role on Bones next season.

The 1980s pop singer would portray a kooky psychic that Booth and Brennan bring on as a consultant.

Word is, the investigative duo really wants to find out why girls just wanna have fun.
