The show's final season will be 12 episodes long, and will allow the producers to map out a "meaningful and satisfying conclusions," according to Fox Co-Chairmen Dana Walden and Gary Newman.

"We couldn't be more thrilled to have another season, so we can give the show, characters and fans the end they so richly deserve," said executive producers and showrunners Jonathan Collier and Michael Peterson in a joint statement. "Also knowing there is a Season 12, we can now write the most rewarding Season 11 finale possible — one we hope will leave our fans excited for what's to come in this final season of Bones."

Added series creator Hart Hanson: "In times like these, marked by instability and doubt, it's comforting to know the world can count on at least one dependable beacon of stability. Apparently, that beacon is Bones. 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."

Bones became a genre fiction adjacent show earlier in the current season when it crossed over with the network's supernatural drama series Sleepy Hollow.

Bones returns to Fox on April 14.
