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!!!
I love it!!!
it would be great, seen them together al last
I’m not going to get too excited because this would blow me away. The Christmas eps would be off the wall if we have the sisters on together. Season five sounds like the bomb.
Brilliant!
From everything we have heard, this season sounds like a smash hit already!!!!
Awesome!!! I would love to see them together especially in the Christmas episode!! <3
As long as the cousin stays away from Booth! Hey, maybe they could fix her with Jared (aka Booth’s brother)?
that would be interesting
Ihave to agree with Liz. As long as they don’t pair up Booth and the cousin. Booth and Bones need to get together and have a baby.
Special guest star in episode 100?
I love Zooey and I love Bones. That is an awesome idea!
I love Zooey’s bones but then again, I am an x-ray tech. It’s the job.
That would be awesome! I’ve long wished that Zooey would make a guest appearance on the show! And if they could get her to sing in the episode – even more awesome!
Awesome news!!
Win. Total win.
I love Bones and Booth. As long as the cousin doesn’t take Booth away, maybe an affair with Bones best friends, what’s her name, the one who sleeps with the bug guy and dad is in ZZ Top? That would be great. I just love this Show it’s a Must See at our house.
Angela
Aweshum. Two great actresses on one great show- SHWEET!
Excellent news!! I love both Emily and Zooey. I can’t wait for Season 5 to start!
I thought of the SAME Thing – fix her up with Jared!!
I STILL DO NOT KNOW WHY this show never gets nominated for an Emmy!!! It is spectacular any way you look at it!!
And obviously so many loyal fans!! There is not one character on this show that is unlikeable! I love them all!!
Or, better yet, fix her up with Sweets!!! The only character I can’t stand on the show is his girlfriend, Daisy.
GOod idea! I like Sweets, too. But it all depends on what her character is going to be like. Will she be like BOnes or will she be the total opposite, as in fun and crazy! Bones needs to let lose more, too. It seems the only person that brings out that less serious side in her is Booth!
NO, not Sweets! He’s far too dorky. Great idea to have her on the show though.
I think Sweets is a good idea, I can not STAND Daisy! I don’t think that she should be like Bones though.
