Fox must be drinking its milk, because “Bones” is still going after 10 years.

From 20th Century Fox, Far Field Productions and Josephson Entertainment, the quirky procedural centers on a highly skilled forensic anthropologist and an FBI agent, played by Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz, respectively. The unlikely partners take on homicide cases involving human remains that most forensic specialists can’t handle.

Other series regulars include TJ Thyne, Michaela Conlin, Tamara Taylor and John Boyd.

Hart Hanson created “Bones,” and he retains executive producer status on the just-ordered Season 11. Joining him with that title is Stephen Nathan, who is taking a step back from showrunning to work on other projects for Fox. The network said that Nathan hopes to join the show later in the season.

Jonathan Collier, Michael Peterson and Randy Zisk also executive produce, with the first two sharing showrunning duties.

The Season 10 finale of “Bones” runs June 11.
