It’s been a tough few weeks for Castle fans. First, it was announced castmembers Stana Katic and Tamala Jones would be leaving the ABC series. Then, it was announced the drama had been cancelled after eight seasons. Star Nathan Fillion recently addressed the show’s cancellation on Twitter.
Castle stars Fillion as the mystery novelist Richard Castle, who teams up with NYPD homicide detective Kate Beckett (Katic) to solve crimes.
On Twitter, Fillion wrote to his fans:
Dear Fans,
In whatever project I do next, loudly notice how unlike Castle and fresh and versatile I am. Thanks.— Nathan Fillion (@NathanFillion) May 13, 2016
Dear Every Director,
It appears I have an opening in my schedule.— Nathan Fillion (@NathanFillion) May 13, 2016
The season eight, and now series, finale of Castle airs on May 16th.
What do you think? Are you a Castle fan? Are you sad it’s ending?
Well ABC has really done themselves in this time with the firing of Stana and Tamala and cancelling Castle. Of course without those two actors the show would not be worth watching. So cancellation is the best. Needless to say we will not be watching ABC anymore. They should probably do the same t DWTS.
Don’t watch ABC much, now I will probably not watch it at all! So sick of “reality” shows and medical shows. I actually feel sad about the cancellation of Castle but happy with the ending.
I would like to see what a great writer could do with. Castle as a widower. That would be a great new avenue begin.
This is one of my all time favorite shows. Good story line, drama and humor. Get rid of the reality shows and bring back Castle in tact, please!! Bad move to cancel!
Maybe it is better to go out on top. I could watch another season of Castle. I’m no expert on TV show longevity, however, my 2 cants worth would state how well the cast worked together and that the stories were always fresh and interesting. Best wishes to all, and hope to see you all in new endeavours.
ABC really screwed up here. I have watched Castle from the first episode and haven’t missed a single one. Please bring it back!!
Love this show and am very sorry it’s been cancelled. I think Nathan Fillion was perfect but wouldn’t have liked the show as much without Stans and Tamala. Hope ABC doesn’t give us some if their typical silly shows. They set the bar high with Castle.
I am very disappointed that Castle may be canceled, I have enjoyed the show very much!!
I love Castle and am very upset with the cancellation.
Soooo sorry it’s ending, one of the best shows on abc, hate to believe the 2 stars don’t get along, please reconsider or revive later !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope the shows writers/directors had an alternate ending filmed should a cancellation have been the case. If not, WE 8 SEASON’S FANS DESERVESOME FREAKIN’ CLOSURE!!!!!!!
That’s seasons of fans… deserve some.

It was a great series. I loved that it was done from the point of view of a writer.
Shame I have enjoyed Castle for all 8 seasons, hate to see it end! Great cast and writing! These networks are out of control!!!
I love how shows like this get cancelled but all those ridiculous”reality” shows go on forever. Thanks ABC for being so cheap… I suppose next you’ll cancel Modern Family cause one of your executives wants a raise… but go ahead and keep all those mindless reality shows!
Really enjoy Castle and will be sorry that it’s not coming back next season. But,yes it is typical of ABC to ruin a good thing by firing two of its main characters, especially Becket (Stana Katic ). If you are going to let her go, then the show should finish. That was the whole idea of Castle in the first place. I wish them all the very best and thank them for the enjoyment they provided over 8 seasons. Next time ABC has a first class show and good actors, maybe they should at how to improve on it, instead… Read more »
I liked Castle and Bones. Very similar in many ways. I will miss Castle but glad it was canceled after ABC’s poor handling. ABC could have had a final year tying up loose ends in a way to make the fans feel good about the end! Typical liberal ABC decides to fire two key cast members and retool to save costs, it is now canceled with out a few good season. Now take the conservative Fox, they kept all of the cast will have the final season next year with a wrap up of the loose ends. Maybe ABC can… Read more »
