The Ghost Killer was just really properly introduced on BONES, but the end of the arc is already around the corner.
“We had such a long-running serial killer, that we didn’t want to do that again,” BONES boss Stephen Nathan told me at the Fox TCA party. “It would be a mistake to repeat — or try and repeat — [what we've done]. Pelant was on for a year and a half, almost. And before that, we would have three episode arcs or five episode arcs — the Gravedigger went for a while — but this is going to be very, very different in the way we’re handling this. She was a serial killer, but that doesn’t mean the killer is going to continue to kill.”
“Hart and I have said this a million times, we’re not crazy about serial killers,” he continued. “In this case, we might be dealing with that story in a much more abbreviated manner…We will be done and wrapped up by the end of season 9…it’ll be, I think, around [episode] 20. It could be 21.”
