As a huge fan of crime dramas, I was completely hooked on Bones when it originally aired from 2005 to 2017. It’s honestly one of the best procedural shows ever made! I loved following the dynamic between FBI agent Seeley Booth, played by David Boreanaz, and the brilliant forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan – everyone just called her ‘Bones,’ of course. Now, with the new thriller Scarpetta coming to Prime Video, I’m hoping it’ll fill that *Bonesshaped hole in my heart. It feels like the perfect successor!
For nearly ten years, fans have happily re-watched the show Bones. Now, Prime Video might be offering something similar with Scarpetta, a new crime drama set to premiere on March 11, 2026. Many are excited about the show, but especially those who loved Bones – it could finally fill the void left when that series ended.
Prime Video’s Scarpetta Will Be The Perfect Replacement Show For Bones Fans
Both Share A Unique Focus On Forensics
What made Bones different from other crime shows—and helped it gain a dedicated fanbase—was its unique focus on forensic anthropology. Instead of typical police work where clues are gathered in an office, the show centered on Brennan’s skillful examination of skeletal remains to assist Booth in solving challenging FBI cases.
Since Bones ended, several similar shows have appeared, but Scarpetta stands out by focusing specifically on the details of forensic pathology. The new Prime Video series follows Dr. Kay Scarpetta (Nicole Kidman), a leading medical examiner, as she uses the latest forensic science to investigate a series of murders.
Like Bones, Scarpetta Is Also Based On A Long-Running Book Series
The Literary Series Currently Has 29 Installments
The TV show Bones lasted much longer than most crime procedurals, largely because it had a rich source of stories to draw from: the popular book series by Kathy Reichs. While many TV shows are adapted from books, Bones was unique in having such a large number of novels to work with. Currently, there are 25 books in the Temperance Brennan series, and eight of those were published before the TV show even began.
As a huge Kay Scarpetta fan, I’m so excited about the upcoming TV show! Patricia Cornwell has written 29 novels in the series, which is amazing. Because there’s so much story there – all the twists, characters, and mysteries – the show can really pick and choose the best plots. And with so many books to draw from, it feels like the adaptation has the potential to go on for a really long time, which is exactly what I want!
Scarpetta Season 2 Is Already Confirmed
Prime Video Is Investing Early In Scarpetta
Good news for fans of Prime Video’s Scarpetta: the show has been renewed for a second season! These days, it’s common for crime dramas to get canceled quickly, so viewers can be relieved knowing that the story, characters, and world of Scarpetta will continue to develop. This confirmation means their time invested in the show won’t be wasted.
It remains to be seen if the new crime drama, Scarpetta, will last as long as Bones, but it definitely deserves the opportunity to become the next popular forensic procedural. While nothing can completely fill the void left by Bones, Scarpetta offers a unique appeal and demonstrates that audiences are still eager for shows centered around forensic science.
