FOX has made a few tweaks to its 2016-17 schedule: Pitch (following Major League Baseball’s first female pitcher) is moving up to Thursdays this Fall; longtime hit Bones will begin its final season on Thursday in Winter 2017, and Prison Break will air Tuesdays in Spring 2017.
The revised schedule follows the jump.
FOX has ordered a twelve episode twelfth and final season for its long-running, reliable procedural series, Bones.
David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel have signed on, allowing the series to come to a purposeful conclusion and giving the show’s loyal fans a chance to say their goodbyes.
Bones returns for second half of its eleventh season on Thursday, April 14th (8/7C) with an episode entitled The Death in the Defense. Follow the jump for details.
FOX’s popular forensics procedural Bones returns on April 14 (8/7C) – leading into the series premiere of American Grit (9/8C), a military-inspired competition show starring WWE® Superstar John Cena.
For details – and a trailer for American Grit – follow the jump.
The Bones/Supernatural crossover may be the weirdest crossover ever – yet never oversteps the boundaries of either show. It begins with the Bones (FOX, Thursdays, 8/7C) episode The Resurrection in the Remains and concludes with the Sleepy Hollow (FOX, Thursdays, 9/8C) episode Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Although the integration of each show’s characters into the others’ continuity is fun, the crossover is a bit of a cheat insofar as it is not one story told in two parts, but rather two stories with a single link (characters aside) between them.

We now have a plotline for the Bones/Sleepy Hollow crossover: On Bones, when Brennan and Booth follow clues gleaning from the discovery of grisly human remains, they encounter Ichabod Crane and Abbie Mills and discover they’re after the same evidence.
For the tagline for Sleepy Hollow half of the crossover, follow the jump.
The Bones/Sleepy Hollow crossover airs Thursday, October 29th beginning with Bones (8/7C) and concluding on Sleepy Hollow (9/8C).

When Bones returns tomorrow night (FOX, Thursdays, 8/7C), it brings the reappearance of Cyndi Lauper’s psychic Avalon Harmonia – though she’s not visiting the Jeffersonian to help with the (as usual) messy case of the week. Nor is she there with warnings of tough times ahead for Booth (David Boreanaz).
Last week, Emily Deschanel and series showrunner Stephen Nathan did touch on those topics – as well as the continuing excellence of the technicians who create all those icky bodies and more – during a conference all Q&A with a number of bloggers/journalists.

Doing a conference call Q&A with Bones showrunner Stephen Nathan, solo, still feels a bit odd. Once again, we were talking to him without the show’s creator, Hart Hanson – and Nathan’s riffing partner – present (Hanson, of course, is working away on FOX’s Backstrom – a series he also created).
Other than that, it was business as usual as Nathan talked about FOX’s most durable and dependable series – and the show’s milestone 200th episode.

Backstrom, the new series from the creator of FOX’s long-lived Bones, is a procedural that features a despicable, alcoholic, lazy, yet brilliant detective – the Backstrom of the title – played by Rainn Wilson. Yup, he sounds like Gregory House as a cop – but he may be even less functional outside business hours.
Backstrom is coming soon to FOX. Check out the new teaser after the jump.
Fox is holding the world premiere screenings of Gotham and Wayward Pines at Comic-Con 2014! Series stars and executive producers will be taking part in the panels at these events.
