Richard Castle will be back next season. Nathan Fillion recently signed a new contract and now ABC has renewed the Castle TV show for an eighth season. (It’s currently unclear if Fillion’s co-star Stana Katic will renew her contract as well.)
On Castle, the relationship of author Richard Castle (Fillion) and Detective Kate Beckett (Katic) is anything but smooth. The rest of the cast includes Jon Huertas, Seamus Dever, Tamala Jones, Molly Quinn, Penny Johnson Jerald, and Susan Sullivan.
The seventh season of Castle has been down by about 15% season-to-season (currently averaging a 1.58 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 8.47 million viewers) but it’s still the network’s fourth most-watched scripted series.
What do you think? Are you glad that the Castle TV show has been renewed? Should this be the final year? Would you watch without Katic?
I love the show!!!! Keep it on!
I love Castle!!! It’s one of the BEST shows on TV. Yes, I would still watch it if Kate was not on any more. Nathan F. is one of the best actors I’ve ever seen. I love Susan Sullivan and Molly Quinn and the boys at the NYPD. Great casting!!!
I didn’t watch Castle when its series run started back in 2009 but mainly got into it when TNT started showing reruns of the show. Now, I try to watch it regularly on ABC as well. But season 8, despite not being bad television, is testing my patience a little. Not only do I not like the Castle and Beckett separation, but I don’t like the team separation. It doesn’t feel as close-knit as it used to. Glad that Beckett is the captain, but I would rather have Gates back as captain so she and Castle can work together. With… Read more »
The show would not be the same without Kate, I would like to see it go 9 seasons, I have watch every episode more then three times, I enjoy the interaction of all cast members, but understand how difficult it must be for writers to keep our interest.
The definition of stupid is to do the same thing over and over trying to make the outcome different. If the Castle fans didn’t like them apart in the first seven seasons. What makes them think we will like it in season eight.
I love the show, I watch it everytime it comes on, It should stay on. It is fun to watch.
Castle is still my favorite show on TV. I have to be in front of my tv to see what Rick and Kate are going to be up to this week. They are so fun to watch, but I love the team around them too. Would not be the same without their co stars. Please Keep THEM ALL entertaining us!
What are the writers thinking? Castle tv show was great with Beckett and Castle getting together and now the writers are separating them! Just like the tv series Bones which is still going strong after Booth and Brennan married – why can’t the writers have Beckett and Castle stay happy together. I will NOT keep watching this series if Castle and Beckett do not get back together! And yes…Katic must be Beckett!
I agree castle without Beckett will not work, and they need to be together, also think the character who had the nose for sniffing out clues should be a regular, she added to show
I love Castle. I would like to see all of Season 8. They have taken a big chance with changing the way Beckett and Castle interacted all through the previous Seasons. They had a chemistry together that seems to be missing so far in Season 8. This is only the last week in October and ABC and CTVSH have started showing 2014 shows instead of 2015 shows so it makes me wonder what is going on? Please return the new Season 8 to the fans, like me, who enjoy watching a family oriented show where no one swears, no violence… Read more »
john : Just a show where the two characters who have no chemistry – and you want that.?
Perhaps the ABC folks have read everywhere else where fans comments to the show – that everyone wants the show to return to it’s bubbly and loving married couple solving crimes. you want to watch folks with no chemistry- there are lots of these available.
gee, I guess the monitors only want positive comments. So – bye
No point in a response – this website is obviously not been updated; so who is paying attention to what anyone says?
I don’t know if I could watch castle without Stana on it because her and Fallon makes the show. And those two being merried and solving cases. Are the best BRING THEM BACK TOGETHER. PLEASE
Great values the Castle show teaches great social values In season 8: It is OK to run out on your husband – for no realistic reason, and run around every night with a strange man; also no trust or communication is necessary in a marriage,and don’t share anything with our husband but expect him to trust you; and who knows what a married woman is doing every night with a strange man – maybe you are setting the basis for a new porn series? You certainly are not teaching any positive values – except that the husband should be a… Read more »
I DON’T WANT IT CANCELED IT IS TO GOOD OF SHOW TO BE CANCELED I A SEASON 9,10,11, AND SO ON.
I have watch castle for 7 years now and it is one of the best shows out there. But I think that castle and Kate can be married and work together. What ever you do don’t break them up bring them back together. I love these two together. Do your story line just don’t break them up please I don’t know if I can watch it if you do.
I love the series and even watch reruns again. If the shows are like the first ones in series 8 I will be a past fan. Why have you ruined a series that lasted this long by breaking the magic that the cast had in the past. I feel cheated after each of the last here show. The good felling is done. I can’t watch it at 10:00 pm and go to sleep so I try to record it for the next day but I feel little desire to watch it. Bring back the romance and solving crime from the… Read more »
