Fans of the Emily Deschanel/David Boreanaz series, Bones, won’t have to worry about their show being cancelled for awhile. FOX has just given the series a two year renewal.
Bones is centered on an unlikely alliance between an FBI agent (Boreanaz) and a forensics anthropologist (Deschanel) and her team. The rest of the cast includes Michaela Conlin, T.J. Thyne, Eric Millegan, Tamara Taylor, Michaela Conlin, John Francis Daley, Patricia Belcher, and David Greenman.
Considering that Bones’ ratings are strong, its seemed odd that the show hadn’t been renewed until now. According to Variety, the holdup was over a common topic these days, license fees.
To no surprise, the FOX network and the show’s studio, 20th Century Fox TV, are owned by the same company. While you might expect that that would make things easier, it actually made for longer negotiations. There are other profit participants involved so there was extra due diligence to make sure a renewal deal reflected the show’s true market value.
When the negotiations were finished, Bones executive producer Hart Hanson confirmed the news to fans via his Twitter account. He later wrote, “Thank you BONES fans for your response to our pick-up. Thank you so much. We are all so gratified. We love working on our show. Thanks.”
The show is expected to return in the Fall and FOX will announce its 2009 – 2010 schedule on Monday.

I love all the the “squints” Everyone in this show has a purpose to show the world. To all of the Squints I love each one of you. Thanks
TY. So much for bringing this show back. My husband is a real nerd so it is hard to find TV shows that we both love. This one has all the mystery and nerdy qualities for both of us. This is one show that has brought us closer. Your writers are amazing they keep us guessing. Keep up the great work.
The TV series Bones is a brilliant show! Actors are all first rate, scripts well written! Bonaraz’s acting is impecable. The whole ensemble of characters/actors are well developed. Humor, drama, personal emotions and action is well interweaved with science. My question, has this program won any awards? The intelligence and depth of this program needs recognition!!!!
Bones is one of the few series that can hold its own against anything you ask: it is a comedy show par excellence… its a sci-fi par excellence (most of the high tech science that is used is sci-fi to most of the viewers) … its a grade 1 crime drama…. its an amazing interpersonal interaction piece between characters… its a\wholesome and and it has great nutritional value… Leave it on for at least 10 seasons…. It is the JAG of the new age…
i love this series! i stay up til 2 am just to watch the dvd i purchased i love boot i love you bones!
So when does the series start again. I am anxious to see the next show. I looked on our TV Menu and it isn’t showing any new shows so far. Please don’t cancel it….I love it!!
