Booth and Bones will be back for an 11th season on FOX. The network has renewed their Bones comedic crime procedural series reports Deadline.
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, TJ Thyne, Tamara Taylor, and John Francis Daley.
Series producer 20th Century Fox TV has made a new deal with both Deschanel and Boreanaz for season 11. Their contracts expire at the end of the current 10th season.
Also behind-the-scenes, executive producer Jonathan Collier and co-executive producer Michael Peterson have been named as new showrunners while previous showrunner Stephen Nathan takes some time away.
Season-to-date, Bones has been averaging a 1.26 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.43 million viewers. Year-to-year, that’s down by 27% and 18% in the respective categories.
This season, the show’s fans had to endure a nearly four month hiatus. FOX is still having ratings challenges so, even with these ratings declines, Bones still looks pretty good.
What do you think? Do you still like the Bones TV show? Do you think that season 11 should be the series’ last?
You guys (and almost everyone else in TVland) need to rearrange your demographic. The people watching TV are most likely 29-60 not 18-49 (unless you’re talking about the CW). The younger crowd is too busy with computers, iPhones, Facebook and YouTube. Get a clue. This show is one of the few quality shows left what with all the stupid reality crap out there.
That’s exactly why viewership in the younger demographic is so prized — younger viewers are harder to reach.
I don’t know why the younger demographic is so important. They don’t have that much money to spend as either they are in a low paying job, no job or paying off big student loans. And I am over 60 and watch Bones so don’t forget about all the baby boomers.
I suppose that is true, but what I understand from my experience in marketing, the goal is to reach as many people as possible in your target market so you can feed them all the junk in the commercials, right? Given that, the true target market is most likely 29-60. If they want to reach that younger market, they need to make sure they have a presence on YouTube, Facebook, Hulu, etc. not regular television.
Bones is family you just don’t do away with them just because of some rateing so stupid we’ve lost so many good shows because of that and all these so called reality shows no reality maybe stupidity you want to take something off start there but leave our family alone!!!
I love the show , been watching since it first episode it would be a shame not to continue a great, funny show there aren’t that many left. I say do not cancel.
This is one of the most entertaining shows I’ve ever watched. I’ll be very upset if and when this show is cancelled. The other networks are consumed with staged and scripted reality shows which insult my intelligence. This is one show I can watch reruns of and still enjoy them.
If it w as a choice of loseing Bones or any other I take ane other. I wiykd rather have Bones. I hope that it keeps going on and on.
We love this show (Bones) and look forward to it every week. We record it every week.
Bones and NCIS are the highlights of my viewing week. So glad to see they will be back for Season 11.
Love the show and would hate to see it end
love the show, keep going
There are so many TV shows that have thrown Morals out the window. It is hard to find a descent show to watch. Bones and Castle are something I feel still show values. They are not putting each other down all the time like some shows. Degrading each other and calling it comedy.
Kay, I agree. Do you also watch Blue Bloods? Another excellent show/writing/cast that showcase respect, family, morality, and very little profanity if any-
Excellent show. I have enjoyed many years and currently also watch re-runs.
Would like to see Booth keep up his nice looks by keeping shaved.
One of the best show around enjoy all the actors and the. Parts they portrait
I get tired of TV being based on 18-49 demographic, more people from 30-80,watch TV than under crowd. Under 30’s are mire interested in their computers and smart phones than TV.. I like Bones and hope it’s renewed
I truly love each cast member and have been watching this show from 2005. I will look foreword to the new season.
I love watching Bones, please keep it going!!!
Bones is still one of the most enjoyable shows on the air. I’m hopeful that it will continue on the air for (at least ) one or two more seasons. The characters are all well developed and each one adds a touch of humor and drama in their own way. Bravo Bones!
