Is a Bones Spinoff in the Works?


Is Bones spinning off a second show? It sure sounds like it.

Fox is working on a series project that would revolve around a new character who will be introduced into the Bones world in the Dec. 6 episode, Deadline reports.

The character, Walter Sherman, is described as an eccentric but amusing recluse in high demand for his ability to find anything. He is skeptical of everything -- he suffered brain damage while overseas, which explains his constant paranoia -- and known for asking offensive, seemingly irrelevant questions to get to the truth.

Walter's also a former military policeman who served with Booth (David Boreanaz) in Iraq, but they don't get along. Dr. Brennan (Emily Deschanel), meanwhile, will be intrigued by Walter. The character is expected to recur on Bones throughout this season.

The spinoff, also from Bones creator Hart Hanson, is contingent on whether a suitable actor is found to play Walter. Casting is expected to begin soon.

The actor, yet to be cast, playing the character of Walter is scheduled to begin shooting on December 6th.

Bones, now in its sixth season, pulled in 9.8 million viewers for its most recent episode.

  1. I wonder if he will be a new love interest for Brennan particularly as Booth doesn't like him?
