“So, the baby will be a part of the show, because it’s a part of their lives. But somebody is still going to be murdered in a heinous and cruel way… The balance won’t change, but the context will.” Bones creator Hart Hanson also reveals that Brennan will struggle to adapt to motherhood and find her new status “very disorienting” at first.
“We’ve always seen Brennan as a character who… did not want to engage with life or had to be protected by a veneer of rationality and logic and science,” he says.
“Now she has a child… Her happiness is contingent upon another person’s happiness… So, she is now a big open bruise because of another human being and she will find that very disorienting.” Nathan has also said that he wants to give other Bones characters more extensive arcs in the show’s recentlyannounced eighth season.
