It's not looking good for renewal based on FOX moving Bones back into the timeslot. It's an expensive show to make, and Fox aired episodes out of order. It has decent ratings despite that, so I am holding out hope it gets renewed. However Fox is where good shows regularly get killed by network mismanagement. </p>
