Bones on Fox FX (TopTV 110) has been renewed for a 9th and most likely final season in America where it's broadcast on the Fox network.
Bones finished the first four seasons already on Fox FX in South Africa, so will still have at least five more seasons to go before the story runs out for Dr Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and special agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz).
The longrunning drama's upcoming 9th season wasn't declared the last, but renewal for further seasons for Bones have become harder the last few years.
A new 9th season for Bones was dependent on Fox, producers and 20th Century Fox TV signing contract renewals with Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz which they've clearly done.
"After more than 150 episodes, Bones continues to be one of television's most dynamic and consistent dramas," says Kevin Reilly, the entertainment chairman at Fox in a statement announcing the 9th season.
"We at Fox, along with millions of zealous fans, look forward to seeing where the incredible creative team takes the series next season."
