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?
My husband & I have watched Bones since the start and we love the actors, the writer’s , We miss Lance but wish him the best, we hope the series continues we tape it to make sure we can watch it if we are not home.
I think it was getting a little redundant with the bodies. (i.e. they never went anywhere with the ghost killer!!?) I think they could have come up with more interesting ways in which their personal lives would have been more interesting. (i.e. What ever happened to baby Hank?) I would like to see some kind of spinoff, where Booth and Bones and Angela and Hodgins solve crime in their spare time when they are not taking care of their families. I think that would be a great detective drama.
Hate to hear this is there last season. I hope they change their minds. I suppose it is hard to write such a complicated script but I liked the show very much and have watched for years.
Please do not t cancel bones Ii really likke the show
It’s such a terrible shame this show is leaving the air. It’s thoughtful, entertaining, smart. The dynamic between Bones and Booth is never dull. Their relationship enhances the show. The Supporting Cast is superb. All the characters are fleshed-out to leave a lasting impression on you. They have their own stories which keeps the show moving without ever falling into a rut . The writers are unbelievably great. Plots and dialogue are always interesting. We really need to save this show from being cancelled.
I n soo sorry o lose this Bones show! Great loss for the Network
I am 63 years old and have never before been a television viewer. My husband introduced me to Bones and I absolutely love the show, the characters, the intelligence, humor and warmth. I just began viewing the show in 2016. After viewing a few more recent episodes on Netflix, I started at Season 1. I will just say when I was viewing current seasons, I was so distraught over the situation for Lance Sweets. He was one of my favorite characters. But then, starting at Season 1, I got to meet Zach. I love him! I can’t wait to be… Read more »
I would definitely watch season 13 and more. Why would Zack kill in order to talk to Bones? Doesn’t make sense! Cannot end like that. Definitely ‘not’ satisfied.
Bones and Booth deserve better. Plus this is such a great drama. I know everyone is getting older and need to move on, but . . .
When will season 12 start and is season over. Not sure
I absolutely love the show! My whole family absolutely love the shell! I will watch it over and over and over and over! And I hope that the series never ends! And now that it’s a poster and I just keep wishing that it would go on for a couple more seasons just it’s such quality show and so much fun so entertaining! So fox bring it back please please please please please!! Everybody I know will watch it we love the show!!
I love bones and all the characters. Im also glad that the humor didn’t get lots as it did for the episodes when Booth was fighting the bad guys at the FBI and subsequently spent some time in jail. Please keep us smiling as well as continue the exciting plots.
I want to see more than 12 seasons please I love this show
Please please please don’t let season 12 be the last season! Such a well written, quirky, heartfelt and wonderful show that it’s fans will have such a hard time saying goodbye to!
I really like this show. If 12 is it, they should give us a full season
I will continue to watch this show until it goes off the air. If it is next year so be it, if it is 20 years from now I will still be watching it if God is willing to keep me around that long. I love it, and look forward to it every week. With so much ill in the world it is great to have a stress break and enjoy the plot, laughs, and relationships of all the cast members. I vote to keep it running as long as they possibly can
