Bones fans can officially breathe a sigh of relief. FOX announced on Friday that the procedural drama would be returning for its 11th season after the network negotiated new contracts for stars Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz. Showrunner Stephen Nathan will be stepping down temporarily to work on other projects and Johnathan Collier and Michael Peterson, both executive producers, will share the showrunner duties in his absence.
