This season, ABC’s Castle will be airing opposite NBC’s highest-rated scripted series and one of CBS’ top-rated TV shows — The Blacklist and NCIS: Los Angeles. Will the ratings continue to fall or could they rise against this stiff competition? Cancelled or renewed for season eight? We’ll have to wait and see.
As last season of Castle proved, the relationship of author Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Detective Kate Beckett (Stana 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 ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/8 update: ABC has renewed Castle for an eighth season.
Final season averages: 1.57 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 8.47 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
For comparisons: The sixth season of Castle averaged a 2.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.18 million total viewers.
Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the Castle TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for an eighth season? Is it time to end the series?
I must admit this show is my favorite next to CSI, I can hardly wait for the next episode , The two detectives work well and play of one another very well. Castle and Kate are wonderful. I liked the love hate relationship in the first ones and the wedding was tearful and they belong where they are. Please keep them on .
Castle is an excellent show . I have watched since its first season. THERE IS NOT ANOTHER SHOW THAT HAS SUCH FINE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES. ABC NOT ALL WATCHERS ARE 18_49 . I have a bumper sticker that says I LOVE CASTLE AND People come up to me and tell THEY love show. KEEP IT ON
We love the characters! Castle has a lot of potential that has yet to be utilized, and Kate’s character is such a great role model for strong women. They both are good role models. We say More Castle!
The writers have progressed in story line to bubble now just isn’t right. who is with me on this?
I love Castle, hope it lives on, but Did they change writers? I vote it stays!
They Shouldnt cancel it! Best show ever! Its Amazing
Best Show Ever! Its so amazing ! Keep it going!
Sorry about no. The cat jumped on the computer. Castle has a great cast. Keep that show
Castle is a great show. No all the fans are 18-49. Keep it coming
The best TV show I have seen in a long time. Don’t cancel it. I can hardly wait or Mondays but would watch it whatever night it is on. I have the dvd’s as well.
Castle is SO entertaining….NEVER take it off the air…Finally there is a great show on TV and if there is even talk of taking this show off the air the network is crazy….It makes my day to watch this show….Both Stana Katic and Nathian Fillian are fantastic actors and the other people they perform with are so very talented….the thought of ABC even thinking about canceling this series is insane!!!!
Keep it.
Too bad Jerry Springer isn’t cancelled!!!!
wow I thought it died long ago
di tutti i telefilm Castle e quello che merita di più essere rinnovato e il più bello,inteliggente , e raffinato cè nè pochi all”altezza
Castle is a wonderful show…It makes my Monday end on a happy note…The show so far this year is wonderful…I agree why put top shows on the same time? There is so much junk on TV, why not just spread out the good ones…Doesn’t make sense to me…Castle is a superior show. Don’t pit it up against another great show…
With all the slots where there are not anything worth watching, why put three of the best shows butting heads with each other? Why not line them up in those slots, then it would make TV a lot better for everybody! Instead of trying to play king of the mountain all the time.
James E. Snead: You make a lot of sense.. Too bad the network executives don’t do the same..
