There’s good news and bad news for fans of the Bones TV show on FOX. The long-running crime drama has been renewed for a 12th season but that will be the show’s final run and there will only be a dozen episodes.
Bones revolves around a married couple who use their skills as an FBI agent (David Boreanaz) and a forensic anthropologist (Emily Deschanel) to solve difficult cases. The show’s cast also includes Michaela Conlin, Tamara Taylor, TJ Thyne, and John Boyd.
Both Boreanaz and Deschanel are set to return for the final season — as are executive producers and showrunners Jonathan Collier and Michael Peterson.
In a statement, the showrunners said, “We couldn’t be more thrilled to have another season, so we can give the show, characters and fans the end they so richly deserve. Also knowing there is a Season 12, we can now write the most rewarding Season 11 finale possible — one we hope will leave our fans excited for what’s to come in this final season of Bones.”
Series creator Hart Hanson noted, “In times like these, marked by instability and doubt, it’s comforting to know the world can count on at least one dependable beacon of stability. Apparently, that beacon is Bones. It just shows what you can do with an amalgam of genius cast, amazing crew, cunning writers, stalwart studio, sweat, a tough economy, a mercurial network, determination, luck, magic, miracles and the most loyal audience in the world.”
What do you think? Do you like the Bones TV show? Do you think that season 12 should be the end? Would you watch a 13th season or, should it have been cancelled this year?
Pat : my husband and I have watched this show since it’s insertion and have the DVR set up to record each new season. It is one of our favorites. Have also read some of the books which inspired this series. I don’t know which age groom you are polling, but there are a lot of baby boomers you aught to be talking to that are retired and also have some buying power……
I love Bones I’ve been watching since it aired in 2005 I even watch the reruns so please don’t take Bones off renew the show.
There are only two shows I like to watch, wait impatiently to watch and both are being canceled. Bones is the best show ever. I have watched this show since the beginning. I would like to vote for Bones staying on. The writers are excellent and they can come up with interesting stories to entertain us with. But if its meant to be…I have enjoyed the past years with Bones (Max/Ryan O’Neal), Booth, Hodgins, Angela (& Billy Gibbons/ZZ Top), Cam and all the interns. It’s been sad to see Zack, Vincent Nigel-Murray and Sweets leave but very exciting exits. All… Read more »
I watch bones everytime its on if must be cancel atleast finish with why ZACH is back
I would watch Bones until their kids go off to University.
I love Bones and really wish it could continue to run. There is such a lack of good shows that I hate to see this one go
I watch Bones multiple times every day. It is a very entertaining show and almost every episode makes me tear up a little at the end. It has to be a very successful show to have run this many seasons. I would watch it for years to come if they kept cranking out new episodes. I love it !!!
I would watch another 6 seasons of Bones. Why wouldn’t I? It’s the most entertaining show on TV. Hoping to see further social development of Brennan and eye candy like Booth – look forward to it both on FOX and TNT.
I love Bones I watch everyday on TNT .. An wait patiently for Thursday to watch the newest episode .. Always something new an interesting.
It doesn’t get any better than Booth & Bones
You are so right. What else is available on TV these days? Miserable mean people who bring on the carnage in our world & walking dead with NO redeeming qualities whatever.
BONES HAS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS ON TV, IVE WATCHED EVERY EPISODE OF EVERY SEASON. I HAVE HAD MANY LAUGHS OVER HOW EACH CHARACTER THROWS IN LITTLE JOKES. THE CAST IS OUTSTANDING, IM PISSED YOUR TAKING ANOTHER GREAT SHOW AND TRASHING IT. WHATS WRONG WITH FOX, IVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED MANY TIMES OVER THE SHOWS THAT THEY GET RID OF, STUPID CHOICE. THIS IS MY VERY FIRST COMMENT I’VE EVER SENT TO ANYONE, NO SOCIAL MEDIA. NOW YOUR TAKING AWAY A BELOVED SHOW, WITH MANY PEOPLE WHO STILL WATCH IT , JUST LIKE ME. I HONESTLY DONT GET IT.
I love bones would always watch,i hate that it will end.
Bones is one of the best TV shows on the air, if not the best. Do not cancel this excellent show. It’s good for another five new seasons easy. It’s thought-provoking and the chemistry between David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel is superb. This is an excellent and Superior show in the sea of mediocrity other TV shows on the air.
Yes,I’d definitely watch a 13th season of Bones. It’s a great show,with believable characters. Intelligent,which is more than can be said for much of the fare being offered today.
I would like another season. Really enjoy this show.
i would like to see anothr season of bones
I’m right along with everyone else, I love Bones. I won’t continue to watch Fox without it. #bones!!!
