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.

I WAS REALLY UPSET ABOUT THE CANCELLUNG OF CASTLE…
THIS WAS MY FAV SHOW…
KATE AND CASTLE AND THE GUYS WERE EXCEPTIONAL.. LIKE IT HAD LOVE, FAMILY, EXCITEMENT, AND CASTLE WAS FUNNY…
Why?. A great show & the top execs say no more. What about your audience?. Do you really care?. Just like Last Man Standing. All you care about is filthy language & sex. Real smart!!!. Typical ABC. No brains. No concern for your audience.
This is simply terrible…..so disappointed….a fellow Canadian!
I was very disappointed in which the last season ended. It was so abrupt. My husband and I loved this show and it deserved a much better ending!
I cannot believe that Castle is ending. One of my favorite shows. NOT HAPPY!
It is a disservice to the viewers who invest part of themselves when a series is cancelled without a final conclusion. M.A.S.H. was a classic. A shining star in an otherwise black hole of indifference by the networks.
