Fox Sets Final ‘Bones’ Run
Bones‘ final season will kick off on Tuesday, January 3 at 9/8c, Fox announced.
Season 12—which picks up right where Season 11’s “Is Zack a serial killer?” cliffhanger left off—will consist of 12 episodes. In this last stretch, the network teases fans will “experience a wedding, follow an epic serial killer storyline, go undercover in a lumberjack competition and see Booth and Brennan’s marriage get put to the test.”

“From the very first season, Bones was called ‘The Little Engine That Could,’” series creator Hart Hanson said in a statement. “So we could not be prouder of ending up as Fox’s longest-running scripted drama. And we got there because of an insanely loyal, loud, lovely, lively audience.”
“We’ve loved working on Bones and are so excited to bring our fans this final season,” added showrunners Jonathan Collier and Michael Peterson. “After 12 years on the air, it’s an honor to be able to write the exciting and meaningful ending, which the show deserves.”

Fox expressed a similar sentiment for its longest-running live-action series. “A show this beloved by fans worldwide deserves a proper send-off, and that is just what we intend to do,” said David Madden, president of entertainment for Fox Broadcasting Company. “These final 12 episodes will wrap up storylines and bid farewell to characters who have become part of the fabric of popular culture. Once again, we’d like to thank David [Boreanaz], Emily [Deschanel] and the entire Bones cast, as well as Hart, Stephen Nathan, Barry Josephson, and this season’s showrunners, Michael Peterson and Jonathan Collier. In the pantheon of Fox series, Bones has carved out a unique place for 12 incredible seasons, and we couldn’t be more grateful for its continued success over the course of this past decade.”

Very, Very, SAD to see an excellent show like BONES go down the tubes. It wouldn\'t be quite so bad if other good shows came on, but again that too is sad, there just isn\'t anything else worth watching. I have (3) shows on NBC, one being SUV (18) years & two new shows, but just like BONES, SUV will be leaving soon, maybe we will get 20 years with them, but who knows? BONES has become a family to us, as the WRITERS as well as,CAST, SHOULD BE GETTING EMMYS FOR EXCELLENT WRITTING & OUTSTANDING ACTING. One thing is for sure, when they finish up working on their last few episodes of season 12, they can leave knowing they gave their best, because they did give their best. I always like to end with BONES IS BEST SHOW ON ANY NETWORK TV EVER. MUCH💕LOVE💕Goes out to ALL BONES CAST, WRITERS, DIRECTORS, CREW BEHIND SCENES,& others. WE LOVE YOU BONES & with re-runs & DVD\'s we will continue to watch.

I really hope they don\'t plan on Booth and Brennan being estranged for most of the season. That would be a real downer. It\'s unlikely that Sully could threaten the marriage since Brennan didn\'t leave with him even when she wasn\'t with Booth. Please just let B&B be happy this season!

Thank you for getting some of us Bones news. I am really happy about that date too. Whatever they have planned it should be good. And no matter what does anyone think they will really split Booth and Brennan before the end? I don\'t think so. It sounds like they are focusing on Booth and Brennan and that is what matters. So sad that this little show that could is ending
