EXCLUSIVE: Former Bones co-showrunner Jon Collier is returning to the forensic crime drama procedural genre with No Stone Unturned, which is in development at NBC. The project, which like Bones is based on a book, hails from Universal TV and Todd Milliner and Sean Hayes’ studio-based Hazy Mills Prods.

Written by Collier, No Stone Unturned is based on the book No Stone Unturned: The Story of NecroSearch International by Steve Jackson. The character driven procedural is inspired by the real necrosearch investigation team, a group of the nation’s top scientists, specialists and behaviorists who use the latest technology and the most advanced techniques to solve unsolvable crimes.
