LOS ANGELES: The final season of the long-running series Bones<\/em> will premiere on FOX on January 3, starting a 12-episode run that will bring its story to an end.<\/p>\n “From the very first season,\u00a0Bones<\/em> was called ‘The Little Engine That Could.’ So we could not be prouder of ending up as FOX’s longest-running scripted drama,” said creator and executive producer Hart Hanson. “And we got there because of an insanely loyal, loud, lovely, lively audience.”<\/p>\n The final 12 episodes bring the story lines of Brennan (Emily Deschanel), Booth (David Boreanaz) and the Jeffersonian FBI team to a close. Throughout the last chapter,\u00a0viewers\u00a0will see the return of fan-favorite guest stars and “squinterns,” as well as an old flame from one of the team’s past. Fans also will experience a wedding, follow a serial-killer story line, go undercover in a lumberjack competition and see Booth and Brennan’s marriage get put to the test. New guest stars will be introduced, as well as a final round of murders, from which investigations will arise.<\/p>\n “We’ve loved working on\u00a0Bones<\/em> and are so excited to bring our fans this final season,” said executive producers and showrunners Jonathan Collier and Michael Peterson. “After 12 years on the air, it’s an honor to be able to write the exciting and meaningful ending, which the show deserves.”<\/p>\n “Working with Hart Hanson, the\u00a0Bones<\/em> writing staff, Kathy Reichs, our cast and crew and especially Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz has been the most rewarding experience over the past 12 seasons,” added executive producer Barry Josephson. “I know all will have continued great success!”<\/p>\n “A show this beloved by fans worldwide deserves a proper send-off, and that is just what we intend to do,” said David Madden, the president of entertainment at Fox Broadcasting Company. “These final 12 episodes will wrap up story lines and bid farewell to characters who have become part of the fabric of popular culture. Once again, we’d like to thank David, Emily and the entire\u00a0Bones<\/em> cast, as well as Hart, Stephen Nathan, Barry Josephson, and this season’s showrunners, Michael Peterson and Jonathan Collier. In the pantheon of FOX series,\u00a0Bones<\/em> has carved out a unique place for 12 incredible seasons, and we couldn’t be more grateful for its continued success over the course of this past decade.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" LOS ANGELES: The final season of the long-running series Bones will premiere on FOX on January 3, starting a 12-episode run that will bring its story to an end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":6897,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[473,121],"class_list":["post-6896","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bones","tag-fox","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
