RENEWAL ALERT: Bones

At the TCA Winter Session for FOX today, it was announced that veteran drama Bones has been renewed for a ninth and possibly final season. Bones has been one of the most reliable performers for FOX for years. It made a successful move from Thursday to Mondays where it has survived in the difficult timeslot of Monday at 8pm. Given the rough go FOX has been having with dramas, this was not surprising. Starting on January 21, they will pair Bones with the hotly anticipated new serial killer drama The Following.

Bones joins other FOX shows American Dad!, Bob's Burgers, Family Guy, The Simpsons, and The X Factor on the official renewal list for next year. New Girl, Raising Hope, and Glee are all but assured to join that list while The Cleveland Show, The Mindy Project, and Kitchen Nightmares could go either way and it doesn't look good for Ben and Kate. Still to premiere on FOX in addition to The Following is the second season of Touch and, of course, American Idol. FOX stopped short of calling this the final season of Bones coming up, but it wouldn't be surprising if it was.
