"Bones" is a crime procedural drama that showcases the lives and adventures of FBI Agent Seeley Booth, his forensic anthropologist partner-turned-wife Temperance Brennan, and their friends from the FBI and the Jeffersonian Institute. Each episode deals with a crime of sometimes horrendous proportions that the team tries their best to solve. Alongside these, the stories of the characters' personal challenges are also shown.
The show maintained the energy and interest of everyone with its many plot twists and turns. The show also has amazing actors to play the characters whose growth fans were able to watch through the years.
"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." said Hart Hanson, creator and executive producer.
The show aired its pilot back in September 2005 and from then on gathered their loyal fans who stuck with them up until their nearing end. Through the years, "Bones" stayed in the air, making it one, if not the longest, series on FOX. By the time it comes to its conclusion, it will have a total of 246 episodes.
With only 12 episodes, the 12th season will be the show's farewell to give the characters' stories to a close. This early announcement of the final season allows the creators to "write the most rewarding season 11 finale possible," said showrunners Jonathan Collier and Michael Peterson.
The spring premiere for of "Bones" season 11 will air on April 14 while the forthcoming final season will start airing in late 2016 to 2017.
