TV show description:
Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) is an incredibly famous mystery novelist who has become bored with his own success. His life starts to get interesting when he learns that a real-world copycat killer has started staging murder scenes based on his novels.
Rick is soon questioned by NYPD Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), a very bright and aggressive detective who keeps her investigations under a tight rein. Their styles instantly clash yet sparks begin to fly, leading both to danger and a hint of romance as Rick steps in to help Kate find the killer. Once that case is solved, the author decides to use her as the basis for a new book series.
Rick uses his connections to get permission to accompany Kate while she investigates other cases, much to her frequent irritation. But Kate has a reputation for looking for “freaky” cases so she needs all the help she can get.
Others on her team include Kate’s confidant, Medical Examiner Lanie Parish (Tamala Jones); sardonic Detective Javier Esposito (Jon Huertas); and Detective Kevin Ryan (Seamus Dever), a nice guy who’s always ready to offer obscure facts. Captain Roy Montgomery (Ruben Santiago-Hudson) is their boss who makes sure that Kate’s cases go smoothly, in spite of all of the strong personalities involved.
Rick’s mother is Martha Rodgers (Susan Sullivan), a diva and former Broadway actress, who still seeks the spotlight and often ends up getting involved with the police cases. Alexis (Molly Quinn) is Rick’s quick-witted and insightful teenage daughter who keeps her famous dad in line.
Rick and Kate build upon their new relationship as they look to solve strange homicides in New York — as much fun as one can have with death & murder.

This show,Castle, is coming back and has not been canceled! Yah!
Are you freaking kidding me??? This show has been cancelled?? I love this show ! This is an original scenario that has everything you could ask for – the who dunnit, the sexual tension between characters, clever dialogue & great characters. Who is the idiot behind this decision?? Instead of cancelling all of the really good shows, why don’t you get rid of the person/people making these stupid decisions?
Please bring Castle back! It’s one of the few procedurals that works and the characters are unique and interesting. I am am really indignant about the networks testing the waters for a few episodes and then jerking quality programs off the air before they get a chance to become appreciated.
Why would you cancel a show like Castle. It had everything in a series humor romance and mystery. Please bring it back
I love the show and look forward to 21 SEPTEMBER, when the show will start back up! One of the best shows in the last 5 years to come on TV…Thanks ABC…finally a winner for the good folks who like this type of entertainment…Can’t wait to begin the new season !!!
I can’t find whether is has or has not been canceled. I really love the show
@Pat: It has been renewed for 2009-10.
I have watched this show from the first episode. I would like to see the series continue.
Absolutely love CASTLE! Rarely do I find anything on tv that is worth watching.
FINALLY a well written script performed by a great cast that includes a little drama, suspense, humor, romance and intrigue. Thanks ABC for providing a great show. Looking forward to the upcoming season.
When will we see more episodes on channel 7?
please bring castle back also will it be released on dvd so we can buy it thank you
This is probably my favorite show on tv. I am a huge fan of Nathan Fillion. I am glad to see that the show has not been cancelled.
