For almost every year since 1997, David Boreanaz has been a lead character in a series. From 1997-2004, he played Angel in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the spinoff Angel. In 2005, he was cast as Seeley Booth in Bones and played the detective until 2017. That same year, he joined SEAL Team and remained part of that team until 2024.
But then television gave him a much-needed break. That is, until NBC hired him to take on the title role in The Rockford Files, which is slated to premiere in January.
Today, the network revealed he is officially back in production and hard at work on the private investigator drama.
The remake is a contemporary update on the classic series of the same name. Newly paroled after doing time for a crime he didn’t commit, James Rockford returns to his life as a private investigator using his charm and wit to solve cases around Los Angeles. It doesn’t take long for his quest for legitimacy to land him squarely in the crosshairs of both local police and organized crime.
How long do you think this series will last with his track record?
