The Fox drama “Bones” is testing unfamiliar waters this week — well, at least, unfamiliar shores.
The series about partners Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) began principal photography Saturday in London for this fall’s two-hour season premiere. It’s the first time the series has shot outside Southern California.
The Season Four opener, slated to air at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 3 on Fox, has Brennan guest-lecturing at Oxford University and Booth speaking at Scotland Yard when they are asked by local officials to lend their expertise to a high-profile murder investigation involving a young British heiress.
The shooting schedule has the cast and crew in the U.K. for several weeks at locations that include Oxford, the Thames River, Tower Bridge, Lambeth Palace, official residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and throughout the streets of the city. The episode is also aptly titled “Yanks in the U.K.”
As she does most every weekend, Bones star Emily Deschanel is spending her Sunday morning shopping at a Hollywood farmers’ market near her home.
A strict vegan, she has avoided all animal products for 15 years, ever since watching a documentary about the meat industry. Her lifestyle extends to avoiding leather clothing or consuming even honey because “sometimes,” she says, “they kill the bees.” As a result, she is forced to forgo many samples along the route.
But Deschanel’s icy character, forensic anthropologist Temperance “Bones” Brennan, has no problem interacting with freshly butchered bodies on the Fox crime drama. With two episodes remaining in the third season (Mondays, 8 p.m. ET/PT), Deschanel hints that viewers will soon learn the shocking identity of cannibalistic serial killer Gormogon’s apprentice.
She and her on-screen crime-solving partner, David Boreanaz (FBI Agent Booth), were named producers on the show this season, which has upped their creative input.
“David had it in his contract, and I think they wanted to do something to make me feel equal with him, which is nice,” she explains. “We’re definitely more involved in the show and where it goes … if there are story lines or plot points we feel aren’t right for the characters.” (Click here to read more…)
