Why is the show ending now?
“We were told it was our last year.
It wasn’t that we called the connection and said, ‘We’d like to finish now.’
I’m not sure anybody is terribly upset or terribly shocked that it would be the last year.”
“But we’ve had a great run!”
“And amazingly they’ve come up with new ways to end it.
“These guys [executive producers Jonathan Collier and Michael Peterson] came up with this ending.
I had another ending to the show in mind.
I fully love what they’ve done.
I give them my full support.”
“I think those things are always possible, and very desirable,” Hanson says.
However, Deschanel and costar David Boreanaz seem less positive about reprising these characters in the future.
“It’s very hard for me to answer that question, honestly,” Boreanaz says.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen in six hours.
I mean, you’re asking a hypothetical question, but everything is possible in life.
But I tend to like to go forward.
I don’t like to go backward…
In general, I don’t like reunions and I don’t like to go back.
“I would say I would like some time before I consider that,” Deschanel says.
“We’ve put in 12 years into the show and that’s not nothing.
Such an emotional roller coaster.
