The Castle TV show on ABC has been canceled after eight seasons. Despite re-signing Nathan Fillion, Seamus Dever, Jon Huertas, and talking to Molly Quinn, Susan Sullivan, and newcomer Toks Olagundoye about returning for a ninth season, Castle‘s eighth season finale will now be its TV series finale.
Once the network chose not to re-sign Stana Katic and Tamala Jones, reportedly for budgetary reasons, fans were not so keen on a Castle renewal. The backlash was rather epic. Much of Castle‘s draw was the relationship between Katic’s Kate Beckett and Fillion’s Richard Castle. Castle season eight, episode 22, “Crossfire,” the Castle TV series finale, airs Monday, May 16, 2016. Watch a promo, below.
ABC says: “With their best lead in hand, Castle and Beckett are ready to take on LokSat. But an unforeseen twist puts their case – and their lives – in jeopardy, on the season finale of “Castle,” Monday, May 16th on ABC.”
Hopefully, Castle fans won’t be left dangling without sufficient closure. As previously reported, EP Alexi Hawley planned a second ending to “Crossfire,” should it prove Castle‘s final episode, rather than the jumping off point for a ninth season.

Deeply saddened to hear that Castle has been cancelled. It was an awesome show with a great cast.
I am very disappointed. I so looked forward to every Monday night with Castle since the beginning. I even look forward to the reruns on Sunday nights. Please do not take this show away from us. I love this show.
Can’t believe ABC would cancel. One of the only shows I watch every week. Love Castle.
I am highly disappointed in this decision. Yes, the interaction between Castle and Beckett is key to this series, but I can’t help but feel that another outcome could have been found.
Nothing like coming up short and robbing a seriously dedicated audience – Their relationship is the ONLY reason we have stuck with this series. This is a perfect example of why ABC has always been 3rd for Network and 12th overall.
Well, obviously, as usual– a great show comes along and but, of course, let’s cancel it because there’s something newer and fresher out there!!!
Seriously, how dense can u guys be???
This is one of the few shows I actually liked. Right now there are sooo many shall I say—not good shows on!!! No wonder nobody’s watching tv shows anymore. U people take away any decent shows left out there. I don’t want to see people turning into demons or werewolves — that’s not TV.
I guess I’ll just watch DVDs!
Thanks a lot. Your losing $$$ and viewers.
I totally agree Castle is the best drama on TV. Entertaining ever week! Isn’t it life that people do not always get along. Like any other job we suck it up and move on. This stinks, I watch re-runs over and over. I really hope they do not disappoint after eight seasons , with a dumb finale. The fans deserve more!
Please please don’t cancel Castle!!! The best show ever !!!! Just pay them to keep them … Best ever
Going to miss Castle My daughter and I have been watching it for 8 years. We call Monday, Castle and Dessert night. x
I want a happy ending. It is such a shame that this show is ending. This series had clever writing with a good moral compass and charming likeable characters. I’m so tired of all the shows with corrupt characters with no morals or family values. How to get away with murder. Really? I feel like I’m losing a good friend. My favorite show. It’s a sad day.
Please continue Castle, it is such a fun, family show, it would be sad to end it!
I am so disappointed. Castle is my favorite. I have previous seasons on DVDs and even read the books.
If it was a salary dispute my advice is to pay them!
It is such a clever series.
I had hoped to see Beckett pregnant with a little Castle!
For eight seasons I have watched, DVR’d and followed Castle. The way this TV show should end is this…….finale of season 10….Kate and Castle have three kids and she is elected Senator from New York just as the “Time Traveler for saw” in that episode. It won’t be the same on Monday nights with NOT being able to follow the wonderful episodes of Castle and Becket who are truly a wonderful couple and NOT being able to watch them grow solving cases and loving each other on the way. Come on Stana Katic get on board and make Castle and… Read more »
DON’T CANCEL!!!!! There are other ways to handle the ratings! There are ways to work around the Beckett issue! Need help let me know!!!
So bummed they are cancelling Castle. I’d have enjoyed Castle and Beckett for years to come!
