You have questions. I have some answers.
I saw the season finale of “Bones.” It looked like a series finale. What gives?
The makers of the show had been warned they might not be back. Wanting to give fans some closure, they constructed a season finale that would also work as a series ender, with Booth (David Boreanaz) and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) leaving their jobs and Washington, D.C. Then the series was picked up, and now — a producer told TVInsider.com — something will bring Booth and Brennan back.
This is not the only time a series has set up an ending only to come back. “Magnum, P.I.,” which — when star Tom Selleck decided he was done with the series — killed Magnum at the end of the seventh season. Then Selleck changed his mind, and Magnum was not dead after all.
Author Michael Connelly has a series of books with detective Harry Bosch. Last year, there was a TV series called “Bosch” that I read about on the author’s website. It is to be on this year again, he writes. Do you know when and on which station?
“Bosch,” starring Titus Welliver, is an online series for Amazon. Ten episodes were posted on the site in February. In March, Amazon ordered a second season, saying the series had become the most-watched title on Amazon Prime Instant Video. I have not seen a premiere date yet. The second season will be based on Connelly’s novels “Trunk Music” and “The Drop.”
I just watched the 13 episodes in the first season of “The 100” on Netflix. Is there any plan for a second season?
There has already been a second season, which airs on network The CW before going to online service Netflix. Selected second-season episodes are available on cwtv.com. The entire second season is available on Amazon and iTunes, and is due on DVD in October. The CW has also ordered a third run for the middle of the 2015-16 season.
Where is Bravo’s “Below Deck”?
The series offers “another charter season full of champagne, caviar and tropic thunder” beginning Aug. 25.
Can you tell me if and when the TV shows “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.” will return?
NBC has ordered new seasons of both dramas, as well as “Chicago Med,” a third series overlapping with the other two, all from producer Dick Wolf. At this writing — and subject to change — “Chicago P.D.” will start a new run on Sept. 30, and “Chicago Fire” on Oct. 13, while “Chicago Med” will debut Nov. 10.
I thought that the TV shows “The McCarthys” and “The Millers” were canceled but was very happy to see new episodes recently on TV. Will both return to the air, or are they just trying to finish what was filmed before they permanently go off the air?
Neither show is on CBS’s schedule for next season. The network was just burning off episodes, since it had paid for them.
