When David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel filed a lawsuit against Fox over claims they were cheated out of their rightful share from the profits, the prospect of "Bones" season 12 being cancelled was brought up. Now, Fox CEO Dana Walden just fueled more fire into the speculation when she brought up the possibility of the popular show not being renewed by the network.

"It's top of next-week business to start talking with the producers about whether this will be the end of its run or if it will go another season," she told TVLine.

She said the producers and writers "will be given plenty of time to start writing a meaningful ending to the show. They have such a loyal fanbase, and those fans deserve a satisfying ending."

The possibility of "Bones" season 12 being cancelled became very real when David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel filed a profit-participation claim, according to Deadline.

The respondents in the lawsuit include 21st Century Fox, 20th Century Fox Film Corp., Fox Entertainment Group and Fox Broadcasting Company.

"To be specific to their situation, Deschanel and Boreanaz say that under their deals with Fox they are 'each contractually entitled to a 3% share of Series profits.' Reichs was supposed to receive 5% - money their breach-of-contract lawsuit says they haven't received," the article claimed.

"Plaintiffs bring this action to enforce their rights to these payments that they are rightfully owed, which they estimate to collectively exceed tens of millions of dollars," the lawsuit added.

The Fox exec revealed that the lawsuit is not yet resolved.

She also said that "Bones" season 12 might as well be cancelled rather than have it renewed without its two main stars, David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel.

"We wouldn't do the show without [both] David and Emily," she said. "This is a conversation [about] continuing the series and announcing it as a final season in the 12th season, or whether we wrap it in the 11th."
