As the dying summer sun begins to weep, you can hear its final cries carried in early breaths of the autumn breeze. The days are dwindling. The sun rests its head at an earlier hour and the morning mist lingers as busy bees bustle through their morning commute. It’s the perfect time of year. It’s that magical stall between summer and fall. While its beauty can be lost in the angst of the approaching, it can be overcome with reminders of what the colder months bring. Nights by the fire. Holidays. Hot cocoa. Blankets of pillowy snow. And most importantly, television’s best.
The majority of successful series save their season premieres for autumn. Winter caters to gazing at the television screen while bitter winds howl. So naturally, it makes sense that most networks want to save their heavy hitters for the coldest part of the year. One show in particular, that has remained one of the most cherished series for its past eight seasons, will make its return in a few measly weeks. Now more and more details help provide fans with an early glimpse inside the forthcoming ninth season of the hit series “Bones.”
According to TVLine, the arrival of a third party will stir up some drama between Hodgins and Angela. “Hodgins is going to have to deal with a new family member,” says executive producer Stephen Nathan. “And that will impact both Hodgins and Angela and their relationship.”
Although fans are curious as to who in Hodgins' family would cause so much turmoil, Nathan was reluctant to share any further details. “I don’t want to say,” he says. “The way it comes out is such a surprise. It’s somebody that he wouldn’t know.”
In addition, Nathan informs fans that Sweets is “trying to do something to help avoid a criminal life” when discussing the nature of his new job. “He’s working with kids in the inner city.”
“Bones” returns to FOX on Monday, September 16 at 8 p.m.
