President of Entertainment at Fox Broadcasting Company Kevin Reilly announced the network will be bringing back Bones for an eighth season. “Over the past seven seasons, Hart Hanson, Stephen Nathan, and the incredible Bones cast and crew have redefined the traditional crime procedural with an irreverent and adventurous sensibility and I’m really happy to have this distinctive, fan-favorite on our schedule for another season,” Reilly said in the official announcement.
Season eight will include the series’ 150th episode.
Season seven of Bones, starring Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz, TJ Thyne, Michaela Conlin, Tamara Taylor and John Francis Daley, returns on Monday, April 2nd at 8pm with the first of seven all-new episodes. First up is “The Prisoner in the Pipe” which offers up this official synopsis: “The remains of an escaped convict are found in a residential sewer, but an examination of the sewer pipes indicates that the murder occurred within prison walls. When Brennan (Emily Deschanel) insists on solving the crime – despite Booth’s (David Boreanaz) pleas for her not to overexert herself – the expectant couple experience a very untraditional arrival of their baby daughter.”
