Booth (David Boreanaz)  and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) will be back for a 10th season of Fox drama 'Bones.'

Bones fans can rejoice: Fox has picked up the series for a 10th season.

The network also plans to move the popular procedural, which stars Emily Deschanel as forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan and David Boreanaz as FBI special agent Seeley Booth, back to Mondays on March 10 (8 p.m. ET/PT) after broadcasting a new episode this Friday at 8 p.m. ET/PT in its current slot.

"Over the course of nine seasons, Bones has grown from a hit crime procedural into a beloved pillar of our lineup that resonates with fans in a way that only the best of shows can," Fox Entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly said in a statement accompanying Wednesday's announcement. "Our viewers have embraced Emily, David and the entire cast and characters of Bones as their very own, and I think they are going to love what (executive producers) Hart Hanson and Stephen Nathan have planned for Season 10."

Bones, which will reach the 200-episode milestone next season, will take over the Monday slot from Almost Human, which has five more new episodes running there before it ends its 13-episode first season on March 3.

In another scheduling announcement, Kitchen Nightmares will return for a sixth season on Feb. 28 (8 p.m. ET/PT). In the episode, Chef Gordon Ramsay will make a follow-up visit to Amy's Baking Company. Ramsay's first visit, which can be seen in a rebroadcast on Feb. 21(8 p.m. ET/PT), marked the first time the chef left a Kitchen Nightmares assignment without helping the participating business owners.
