Emily Deschanel on 20 years of 'Bones,' the slow-burn romance and why fans still binge the series on Hulu

LOS ANGELES — Two decades after its premiere, “Bones” is still finding new fans on Hulu, and that longevity isn’t lost on star Emily Deschanel.

“It keeps growing and growing. It’s also hard for me to believe that it’s been 20 years, so it’s fun to see people discovering the show and then people like to watch it and then like to binge it,” she told On The Red Carpet on the Televerse red carpet.

She added that many viewers turn to the series during tough moments: “A lot of people watch it when they go through hard times. It’s something familiar to people I think and comforting,” noting the trend has been “interesting.”

Deschanel also credited her on-screen partnership with David Boreanaz. “David and I, I think naturally have a certain kind of chemistry. We knew the chemistry was the key to the show and we worked with an acting teacher to connect ourselves together.”

On the famous slow build between Booth and Brennan’s love story, Deschanel admitted the writers were cautious.

“They would call it “curses,” where they get the characters together too soon.” But by season six of the show, life nudged the story forward. “Their hand was forced a little bit because I got pregnant. They had to have my character be pregnant, and then they didn’t ultimately want me to be pregnant with anybody else’s child. So, they kind of just had to put us together,” she said, adding, “I think it was a good amount of time, and it wasn’t a curse.”

All 12 seasons of “Bones” are streaming on Hulu.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Hulu and this ABC station.
