Good news, bad news Bones fans. TVLine reports that the long running series has been renewed for season 12. Unfortunately season 12 will also be the final season. Season 12 will consist of 12 episodes and will be the last episodes of Bones ever. FOX and Bones showrunners do promise with the announcement that the finale will be satisfying and give proper closure to the series.
The executive producers co-showrunners of Bones Jonathan Collier and Michael Peterson issued a statement about the series end. “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.” They go on to say that knowing they will have season 12 it means that will be able to craft a season 11 finale that is “rewarding” and leaves fan excited for the future.
