Fox Television officially announced its slate of programming for the 2009 / 2010 season this morning. We're taking a look at their mystery-themed series here.
Not unexpectedly, though it took them long enough to get the deal done, Fox renewed the popular Bones for two additional seasons. Based on characters created by forensic anthropologist and mystery author Kathy Reichs, Bones stars Emily Deschanel as Dr. Temperance Brennan who has an uncanny ability to read clues left behind in a victim's bones. The series also stars David Boreanaz as FBI Agent Seeley Booth who teams up with her on her investigations.
Bones is scheduled to air on Thursdays at 8 PM (ET/PT). The first 3 seasons of Bones are available on DVD.
Picked up as a mid-season entry is Past Life, a fast-paced emotional thriller inspired by the book The Reincarnationist by M. J. Rose. The series stars Kelli Giddish as a gifted psychologist and Nicholas Bishop as a former NYPD detective who work together to explore and unravel mysteries that must be solved in both the past and the present.
Past Life is scheduled to air on Tuesdays at 9 PM (ET/PT) in the spring of 2010.
Also renewed is Lie to Me for a second season. The series follows Dr. Cal Lightman (Tim Roth) and his team of deception experts as they assist law enforcement and government agencies to expose the truth behind the lies. We confess (!) we're torn about this show. We have a broad definition of "mystery" when it comes to television series, but we're still on the fence as to whether it qualifies.
Lie to Me is scheduled to air on Mondays at 9 PM (ET/PT) during the fall of 2009 only.
