News Roundup: “Bones”, “Fringe” and “Supernatural”

News is going to start picking up about our fall returning programs. Bones‘ Hart Hanson tells us that Cyndi Lauper is going to guest star on this new season.

J.J. Abrams tells E!Online that he’s pretty excited about the new season of Fringe, with a new writing staff (except for Jeff Pinkner). “There’s been a massive influx of strange new faces with incredibly talented brains who are replacing many of the previous, equally talented brains in that room. There are some who are the same talented brains; there are some talented brains who have nothing to do with last year. Like any show, there’s a rate of attrition that sort of just happens, but I have to say, the Fringe writing room [is] electric. On fire. Great ideas. Fun. So I was thrilled about last year, and I’m equally if not more excited about this year.” (Source.)

Finally, TV Guide announced that evil demon, ‘Meg’, will be returning in the 5th season of Supernatural, and she will be played by Rachel Miner. Says creator Eric Kripke, “I’ve been continually asking the writers, ‘Where’s Meg?” She’s would make a really formidable adversary. I got impatient and ended up writing her into my own script.”
