Fox renews ‘Bones’ for a 10th season

Fox isn’t burying the bones just yet.

The network announced Wednesday that it has renewed its long-running drama “Bones� for a 10th season -- oh, and it’s moving the show once again to Mondays, too.

Currently in its ninth season, with a new episode airing this Friday, the series will return to Mondays beginning March 10. The renewal announcement will help the crime procedural, starring Emily Deschanel as a forensic anthropologist and David Boreanaz as an FBI special agent, reach its milestone 200th episode.

“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 Fox’s chairman of entertainment, Kevin Reilly. “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 [executive producers] Hart Hanson and Stephen Nathan have planned for Season 10!�

“Bones� has jumped around the network’s primetime grid several times during its run. Last fall, it moved to Friday nights at 8 p.m., all the while managing to maintain some of its stride. The current season is averaging 8.6 million viewers and a 2.4 rating in the key demographic of adults ages 18 to 49.
