Prinze is set to take on the role of covert CIA agent Danny, an old associate of Booth's (Boreanaz) who has an interest in Booth and Brennan's murder investigation in the Sept. 16 premiere episode. (Fingers crossed for a subtle-but-oh-so-awesome Buffy reference!)
Though he is only slated to appear in one episode, there is a potential for Prinze to return later in the season, according to TV Line, who first reported the news of the She's All That star's casting.
Aside from his short-lived sitcom Freddie, Prinze's past TV gigs include arcs on 24 and Boston Legal. Gellar will also be making her return to the small screen after the cancellation of her CW series' Ringer; she is set to star opposite Robin Williams' in CBS' new sitcom The Crazy Ones. Prinze and Gellar married in 2002 and have two children together, Charlotte, 3, and Rocky, 10 months old.
Bones returns for its ninth season on Monday, Sept. 16 at 8 p.m. on Fox.
