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?
I loved Castle but since it’s been cancelled how about Joss Whedon reboots Firefly with Nathan and the Serenity family? I LOVED THAT SHOW!!!!!
I’m heart-broken that Castle is ending they way that it did. I understand that the season finale was not meant to be the series finale, but we as fans deserve more. There should be at least a few more episodes to wrap it up. Maybe Beckett finds out that she expecting a baby and torments about how to tell Castle. Castle finds out and is thrilled. Later they find out that it’s a boy which would give Castle the opportunity to have the father-son relationship that he never had. The Castle-Becket love story deserves a happy ending and so do… Read more »
Omgosh.. Nathan Fillion is by far, my favorite actor. This show, was a staple. Not bad language, or horrific screens, it was funny, and exceptional, mostly because of Mr Fillion!! The others where great too, an awesome team. Why? You’ll be sorry you stopped this show. I haven’t seen anything I’ll continue to be a loyal fan of yet this season that could even begin to be a good family show…BRING IT BACK!!!
We are so very sorry to see this show go away. It was serious, funny, loving and true friendships were made among the players. Nothing cheesy here. A great example of what an excellent, entertaining show should be about. Nothing was ever embarrassing to watch. Too many choices out there are sub-quality. We are truly going to miss this show being on. Goodness knows what junk will replace it. We hope to see everyone, someday, in another quality show. To all the producers out there, please, get busy and create something good for us to see. The combined talent of… Read more »
I am very disappointed with ABC and their decision to cancel Castle!!! It is a well written and quality show with humor, drama, complex plots and overall highly professional show. The BEST of ABC. The actors and actresses delivered outstanding performances and were high quality. Not only was it entertaining and humorous but it also developed plots and characters in depth which made the viewer think!!! I have been an enthusiastic fan and will greatly miss this show!!! Other ridiculous ABC shows continue….. who wants to watch such mindless, bland, and poorly written/ acted shows??? Not this viewer or the… Read more »
I’m heartbroken! I’m retired, disabled and watch very little TV outside of the big 3 in sports. Castle was the exception! I watch new episodes, reruns, and shows I’ve recorded!! I will miss Castle and think the ABC executives have lost their freaking minds!!! Yet they keep stupid-a** shows like “Fresh Off The Boat”! Unbelievable!
Bring Castle back it was great with Kate but he can do it please reconsider
So sad to see Castle was not renewed. Excellent ensemble cast and two leading characters with great chemistry. I’m going to miss you!
Castle has been my favorite all time show for 8 years. I am sooo going to miss seeing Castle and Beckett together. Nathan Fillion is so incredibly funny. I just love him. I love all the characters. Ryan and Esposito were just so great. I am so very sad to see this fun show has ended. I will miss them all.
Hate to see my favorite shows cancelled. I felt all the actors really fit together extremely well in their interactions. I will miss it very much, but refuse to watch other “stuff” like survivor, bachelor, etc. I would rater watch commercials or a blank screen.
Good luck to all of you.
Nathan, I have LOVED your shows. Am very sad that Castle has been cancelled along with Firefly , which again I LOVED. Hope to see you again in another series.
Going to miss everyone and the connections you made with yor rolls. Good job!!! C’mon exec’s get something in the works soon. You can do it!
I’m very disappointed that ABC couldn’t have come up with more cash to keep this professionally done show..really worth watching and getting involved with the characters. I can’t believe the junk shows they keep and cancel a show this well done. You wonder huh? Hope all of you on Castle find your best parts in the future and continue to thrive. You will be missed.
I am so very sad the show is over. It was my favorite for entertainment. I truly liked the characters. Best of luck to all of you in the show. You were and ARE THE BEST!
I loved this show and was saddened by its cancellation. But the postscript ending that was added on was the Lamest ending ever !!!! Shame on ABC for such lame writing for what was a great show. This is why I prefer to watch cable series.
