Netflix’s streaming schedule for popular shows like Bones can be tricky to pin down, as content availability often shifts based on licensing agreements. Currently, Bones Season 12 isn’t available on Netflix US, and here’s what you need to know about watching the final season.
Why Isn’t Bones on Netflix?
The situation with Bones is a bit complicated. While the show used to be available on Netflix, it was removed as part of Fox’s strategic move to redistribute its content across different streaming platforms. The entire series, including Season 12, has found a new home on Hulu due to Disney’s acquisition of Fox and their majority stake in Hulu.
Where Can You Watch Bones Season 12?
If you’re eager to watch the final season of Bones, you have several options:
• Hulu: All 12 seasons are available with a subscription
• Amazon Prime: Available for purchase by episode or season
• iTunes: Digital purchase options
• Vudu: Digital purchase and rental options
When Might It Return to Netflix?
Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that Bones will return to Netflix anytime soon. With Disney/Fox’s current streaming strategy focused on Hulu, they’re keeping their content within their own ecosystem. This is becoming increasingly common as media companies develop their own streaming platforms.
Tips for Bones Fans
If you’re specifically waiting for Netflix, I’d recommend:
1. Consider a temporary Hulu subscription to watch Season 12
2. Keep an eye on your local library – many offer DVD borrowing
3. Watch for digital sales on platforms like Amazon or iTunes
4. Follow Netflix’s social media for content updates
Alternative Shows on Netflix
While waiting, you might enjoy similar shows currently on Netflix:

• Criminal Minds
• Castle
• Body of Proof
Remember, streaming rights are constantly changing, so while Bones Season 12 isn’t currently available on Netflix, the best way to stay informed is to add it to your Netflix list – you’ll receive a notification if it becomes available in the future.
