'Bones' season 12 air date, spoilers news & update: promo trailer shows a fired up Booth
If the new trailer for "Bones" season 12 is anything to go by, the final season of the long-running series will tug at the heartstrings of fans.
Things got a bit nostalgic in the 40-second trailer as Booth (David Boreanaz) longs for Brennan (Emily Deschanel), who was abducted by Zack (Eric Millegan).
"He took her and he's going to kill her," Booth said in the "Bones" season 12 extended promo. "I'm going to get my family back," he declared.
Booth is obviously convinced that Zack is The Puppeteer and that Brennan is his latest target. However, there is no way of knowing if it is the case though as Zack may have simply chosen the wrong time.
The "Bones" season 12 trailer also puts together moments from the previous moments that will feel fans nostalgic, perfect to end the crime procedural drama.
The press release teases the "return of fan-favorite guest stars and squinterns" including Dr. Beth Mayer (Betty White), chef Gordon Wyatt (Stephen Fry) and Eddie McClintock (Sully). In addition to all that, an "old flame from one of the team's past" will find their way back along with a set of new exciting guest stars.
Fox also teases that wedding bells will be ringing in "Bones" season 12 for a certain couple, who is believed to be Cam (Tamara Taylor) and Arastoo (Pej Vahdat) while Booth and Brennan's marriage will be on the rocks.
On the mission side of things, the team will be forced to undercover in a lumberjack competition in an investigation in "Bones" season 12 that is yet to be fully detailed.
On a much more ominous note, there will be "a final round of gory murders" in "Bones" season 12. All of this will make up the last 12 weeks of the beloved series.
Speaking of the ending, Fox Broadcasting Company president for entertainment, David Madden said in a press release, "A show this beloved by fans worldwide deserves a proper send-off, and that is just what we intend to do. These final 12 episodes will wrap up storylines and bid farewell to characters who have become part of the fabric of popular culture."
"Bones" season 12 will premiere on Tuesday, Jan. 3 at 9 p.m. EDT on Fox.
