Legendary actress Betty White is set to guest star on Fox's Bones next season!

'Bones' Star David Boreanaz Returns To Set After 'Personal Health Issue'

White will play the new "squintern" Dr. Beth Mayer, according to a new TVLine report. Dr. Mayer is recruited to help the Jeffersonian solve a murder case that involves fantasy football. She is considered "the world's most experienced forensic anthropologist" and this results in some friction with Brennan (Emily Deschanel).

The report says that White's appearance will occur in one episode in late October, though there is no specific date yet.

Bones is experimenting quite a lot this upcoming season. The first two episodes will feature a plot that involves Booth (David Boreanaz) going missing. Special Agent Grace Miller (guest star Kim Raver) is called in to investigate.

Then there is the crossover being written for Bones and its lead out show Sleepy Hollow. The episode, which will air just in time for Halloween, has the following synopsis:

"The grisly discovery of human remains lead Brennan and Booth on a hunt for clues, during which they encounter Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) and Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie), searching for answers of their own. Realizing that they are after the same evidence, they team up to solve the mystery. Then, immediately following on Sleepy Hollow, the intrigue continues as Ichabod's old nemesis is back from the dead. Ichabod and Abbie need advanced forensic help and expertise to stop him and turn to Brennan and Booth to unlock 18th century secrets using 21st century science."

Bones season 11 premieres Thursday, Oct. 1 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
