Telemystery: Bones Renewed for a 10th Season

Fox has renewed Bones for a 10th season.

The long-running comedy/drama, based on characters created by crime novelist Kathy Reichs, stars Emily Deschanel as Dr. Temperance Brennan, who has an uncanny ability to read clues left behind in a victim's bones. Her partner in solving crimes is FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz).

"Over the course of nine seasons, Bones has grown from a hit crime procedural into a beloved pillar of our lineup that resonates with fans in a way that only the best of shows can," said Kevin Reilly, Fox's Chairman of Entertainment. "Our viewers have embraced Emily, David and the entire cast and characters of Bones as their very own, and I think they are going to love what Hart Hanson and Stephen Nathan have planned for Season 10!"

Stephen Nathan will be showrunning the tenth season, as Hart Hanson splits his time between the series and the new Fox drama Backstrom, based on a character created by Swedish crime novelist Leif G. W. Persson.
