It was a close call but Fox and the producers of “Bones: finally cut a deal for at least one more season of the romantic thriller.

The network and 20th Century Fox TV made the announcement this morning but star David Boreanaz already confirmed it in a Twitter note Monday night that “Season 7 is GO for Bones.”
