It’s the on-screen pairing Bones fans have been waiting for. No, not Booth and Brennan — Emily and Zooey! Bones is talking to Emily Deschanel’s movie-star sis, Zooey, about guest-starring this December!
“We’ve been looking for an opportunity to get the Deschanel girls together,” notes exec producer Hart Hanson, “but Zooey’s rockin’ career kept getting in the way.”
Assuming the scheduling can be worked out this time around, Hanson wants the star of this summer’s indie smash (500) Days of Summer to play (natch) a relative of Brennan’s. “We alluded to [her] having a cousin in Minnesota two seasons ago. I’d very much like to meet her in the Christmas episode.”
What say you, Bones loyalists? Happy the Deschanel sisters are finally (maybe) taking their act to the small screen? Sound off below!

Best. News. Ever.
Totally agree!
yep
I totally agree, too!
Yay!!! I love her
OH MY GOD YES. Love it.
Hopefully they’ll perform a duet!
AGREED. A CHRISTMAS DUET. Sorry for the all-caps. I just got excited.
I read this as “duel” at first! Awesome!
I think a Christmas Duel sounds good, too
Agreed!
Oh my I’m so excited about this. I’m a huge fan of both sisters and this news makes my life!
And yay for it being a christmas episode makes it even more special!
Fin.Al.Ly.
That would be awesome. Please make this happen!
as long as it isn’t used for another device in the booth and bones storyline…you know cousin comes around gets interested in Booth, mild flirtation on both sides, Booth gets hurt, but in the end Booth picks bones
whoops! meant to say bones gets hurt..
I kind of like the idea where Booth gets hurt!! Seeing a cousin who is somewhat similar to Bones, but just worldly enough…and poor Booth stuck between the two! Not necessarily relationship wise…but I can see a whole lot of funny quips and comments from the girls and Booth being left a little in the dust… of course the whole Jeffersonian team loves the cousin, but Booth just doesn’t get it… maybe envious of the cousin’s time with Bones? sorry… I get a little carried away… ^^I would really love to see two great actresses who typically play such unique characters on the same screen for an episode or two! Good luck to the writers!
Seconded! It’s already fairly obvious that the Angela/Booth/Brennan thing is for the same purpose. Tempe has so little decent family, it’s not necessary to put more drama in. I say go all the way and make the cousin gay or something and definitely not a threat–there’s no reason for Tempe to have to fight off both Angela (I do hope I’m reading the situation wrong or that they’re okay again fairly quickly, as I love the Ange/Tempe friendship) and her own family for “the man”. (Plus, my own quirky mind would find it funny if Zooey’s character hit on Ange, XD.)
How about a really good cat fight?
This news may have just made my life….
Look, I really enjoy “Bones”. Fun to watch, ok acting and a fairly original storyline (amid all the forensic shows out there), But I strongly doubt if anything on TV could Make my day let alone my life.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
I am so so so so excited/happy !!!!!! Is like a dream come true!!!!!
Really? A dream come true? Ok then…
It’s better than a thousand naked women screaming and throwing pickles at her. No?
You have not had much experience dreaming big have you?
i would watch zooey read the phone book for an hour. so, count me in.
creepy…… you might want to start looking for a girl in conneticut tom.
eddie, i used the very same imagery ie ‘phonebook’ on a summer glau thread not too long. i thought it funny. if you think it creepy maybe it’s you that needs a girl. good luck with that.
Nice picture at the post office Andy. You could have smiled though.
hell yeah! set it up!!
awwwwwwesome!!
It would make me as happy as if I struck the mother lode. It’d be even more exciting if they were to sing and/or have some drama between them.
it’d be awesome!!!
