Elizabeth Wagmeister Chief Correspondent “Bones” ran for 12 seasons and over 240 episodes on Fox, an accomplishment in procedural broadcast television that now seems to be an apex in retrospect. But with a streaming era that has made reboots and revivals more popular than ever, could “Bones” ever come back? According to the show’s creator, there is hope. “We are in contact with each other,” Hart Hanson, who created “Bones,” tells Variety. “Everybody on ‘Bones’ is in contact with each other. At separate times, it’s like, ‘What are you doing? What’s the availability?’” Speaking to Variety at the “Bones” reunion WGA picket, Hanson spoke about the realities of reviving the show, noting the very different media landscape today compared to when “Bones” aired on Fox from 2005 to 2017.
