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.

So upset castle had been cancelled!!!!
I cannot believe Castle is being cancelled. Please decide to change your mind and resign the casts to another season which would be season 9. I was shocked to see this happen; especially, since no one said anything about the show going off air for good. Please resign and have another season. I cannot imagine not watching Nathan Fillion anymore. ABC may have lost another customer. I agree, that all the good shows go off the air, and the not so good ones stay on. What is wrong with that picture.Please type here to add a comment. (Note: spam, name-calling,… Read more »
One of my favorite shows. I can’t believe ABC cancelled it. I guess I will watch my other favorites on CBS and NBC, Your loss ABC
Love Castle extremely disappointed it’s ended. Unreal always about cut backs , greed. Ending left hope of spinoff.
Am going to miss the show, I really liked it. Unfortunately I am not in the 18-49 category that stations base all their ratings on. As for the ending, at least it gave us closure. Would watch a spin off if there ever is one.
Really Are you CRAZY!!!!!! Cancel castle? Why? It’s one of the best shows on tv In so mad. I hat reality show. And I only watch a few programs now one less out of the 4 I watch bad move bad bad bad . you take off nice programs like this but your leave programs nobody should watch they are awful and nasty for kids. Sad really sad.
Tragic! My favorite is not renewed? Tragic!
Castle was one of my all time favorite shows. I’m very disappointed that the fun series is ended! Please, bring ir back.. Why would you not re-sign Stana Karic?
This show is the only reason I know the day of the week. Living with PTSD from 20 years of military service with 10 of that in combat, this was a way to escape. Now it will be YouTube and pulling out all my DVD’s of castle and just watch them when I buy this season. All the people with out their own thoughts can watch the reality shows that make me want to move away from this country.
This is one of my favorite shows on TV. Will really miss not having another season.
We are so sad to see this show be cancelled. It has always been one of our favorites.
I’ll never know when you get a good show they always get canceled its always about money
I am saddened by the news that castle was canceled– so blindsided by this news. I love the show and I love the fact that each story ended with a Family tone. Monday nights at 10 o’clock will not be the same without Beckett and Castle!!
I am Ticked off that they canceled Castle! Why do they take off shows that show the values of love and dedication and loyalty! There are so many shows out there that use horrible language and a lot more gore and adultery which MANY PEOPLE DO NOT WANT !!! Shame on you for mainly thinking about money…
Please don’t cancel this show. I look forward to this show every week. Shut a fantastic show !! This is Just not right !!
Its always about money when making these decisions and never about the dedicated audience that made this show as popular as it has become.
My hope is that there will be a change with this and there would be another season down the road.
