List of episodes

The seventh season of the American television series Bones premiered on November 3, 2011, on the Fox Network.[2] The show will maintain its previous time slot, airing on Thursdays at 9:00 pm ET. However, the season will contain a reduced order of 17 episodes to accommodate Emily Deschanel's pregnancy.[3]

Main cast

The seventh season features six actors who receive star billing.

Recurring cast

The interns who appeared in the previous season return, with the exception of Vincent Nigel-Murray who was killed. This season also introduces one new intern.

Episodes

The season is truncated due to Emily Deschanel's pregnancy and maternity leave. Originally, six episodes were scheduled to air in 2011 before the series went on hiatus,[4] but the sixth episode was postponed to January 12, 2012, with the series then going on hiatus until the spring.[5] The season begins a few months after the end of the previous season with Brennan in her third trimester.[6] The season also introduces a new recurring antagonist, whom executive producer Stephen Nathan describes as "more of a 21st-century, tech-savvy foe" compared to the series' past recurring antagonists. The first six episodes will also deal with Booth and Brennan preparing to raise their child.[4]

Fox ordered an additional four episodes, bringing the total number of episodes to 17, which will either be aired after the original 13 episodes of season 7 during summer 2012 as a "mini-season", or will be included with the following season.[3]
