Here's the bad news, Bones fans: There are only 12 episodes left of the series you've loved for eleven years now. But the good news: Those 12 episodes are going to be PACKED with action as the series wraps up the shorelines of Brennan (Emily Deschanel), Booth (David Boreanaz), Angela (Michaela Conlin), Hodgins (T.J. Thyne), Cam (Tamara Taylor) and the rest of the Jeffersonian gang.

The core cast, along with executive producers Jonathan Collier and Michael Peterson, took the stage at San Diego Comic-Con for their final Comic-Con panel ever. Sniff! The gang couldn't spill much intel on the 12th and final season, considering they only just started pre-production.

But they did share a few ominous details about what's to come for the Jeffersonian crew in the final season. First of all, there will be death. Which is not unexpected, considering the team investigates murders each week—but Collier and Peterson teased that two people we know from past seasons will die (none of the people who were on the panel, though, so don't freak out!).

The season premiere, which is being directed by Deschanel (her directorial debut!), will be a continuation of the Boreanaz-directed finale.

And Eric Millegan, a.k.a. former squintern Zack Addy, will be back for three or four episodes in the new season. In the season 11 finale (if you weren't preempted!), we learned that Zack is involved with the latest serial killer terrorizing the team, the Puppeteer. But how is he involved? That's something we'll learn.

A fun bit of news for the final season: Cam and Arastoo are actually going to tie the knot (yay!), we'll get another undercover episode, and we'll finally learn what 447 means in the penultimate episode.

And of course, the series finale will be "the best episode ever." As if we'd expect anything less.
