Saffron Burrows has joined Fox’s prospective Bones spinoff, according to TV Line. 

Best known for her role on Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Burrows joins the two previously cast leads for the show, Geoff Stults and Michael Clarke Duncan.

The pilot, which will air as the 19th episode of Bones' current season, is based on The Locator books by Richard Greener and centers on Walter Sherman.

Sherman, a.k.a. “The Locator” (Stults), is a former military policeman who can find anything. Duncan, meanwhile, portrays his partner in crime (or crime solving).

Burrows will play Walter’s confidente/sidekick, a bar owner who knows her way around a helicopter cockpit, Michael Ausiello reported earlier this week.

Are you excited by the idea of a Bones spinoff, or at least this one episode?
