•  Bones Spinoff: Don't worry, Booth (David Boreanaz) and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) aren't going anywhere, but Bones executive producers, including Hart Hanson, are working on a spinoff with new characters. According to Deadline, the new series would be based on The Locator books and be launched out of a December episode of the existing series.

But wait! There's more! Which Lost star is joining Justified (aka one of our favorite new series of 2010), and which Sex and the City star is on the set of HIMYM this week?

•  Justified: Daniel Faraday lives! Per the Live FeedJeremy Davies has been cast as a villain for season two of FX's entirely entertaining law-enforcement drama Justified, which stars Deadwood alum Timothy Olyphant as Kentucky-based U.S. marshal Raylan Givens. (What did you guys think of Olyphant on The Office last night?!)

"This week we [are filming with] Kyle MacLachlan. He's so hilarious, so funny," Alyson Hannigan tells us. She wouldn't reveal too much about the former Twin Peaks G-man's role, but he plays a "very funny affluent character."
