The latest episode of "Bones" Season 10 revealed to fans that wheels are in motion for the departure of Hodgins and Angela from the Jeffersonian. Does that mean the couple will not be in Season 11?
Fans of Hodgins and Angela could take comfort in knowing that the actors portraying the roles have signed on for "Bones" Season 11. Michaela Conlin (Angela Montenegro), T.J. Thyne (Jack Hodgins), John Boyd (James Aubrey) and Tamara Taylor (Camille Saroyan) are all in.
Lead stars Emily Deschanel (Temperance Brennan) and David Boreanaz (Seeley Booth) have earlier sealed their contracts with "Bones" Season 11. Longtime showrunner Stephen Nathan is stepping down, leaving the reins to producers John Collier and Michael Peterson, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Still, the series is on for an eleventh season.
In "Bones" Season 10, Episode 21, titled "The Life in the Light," Angela and Hodgins have both faced Cam to reveal their plans of leaving the Jeffersonian. Prior to that, Angela has also told Brennan she is finally making her dream come true.
Meanwhile, Brennan has not officially let Booth back, but she tells him in Episode 21 that he could stay for the night. The next episode, "The End in the End," does not sound very positive to fans. It could pertain to Booth and Brennan separating, or Angela and Hodgins leaving.
Fans are speculating that there could be a time jump in "Bones" Season 11. Hodgins and Angela would have been back in Jeffersonian after a long vacation. This has not been confirmed, but fans are hoping the changes in "Bones" would not significantly affect the dynamics of the team.
