The season is truncated due to Emily Deschanel's pregnancy and maternity leave. Originally, six episodes were scheduled to air in 2011 before the series went on hiatus, [5] but the sixth episode was postponed to January 12, 2012, with the series then going on hiatus until the spring. [6] The season begins a few months after the end of the previous season with Brennan in her third trimester.
