Castle will return to ABC on February 1, but the series is surrounded by buzz at this time. Both the ABC powers that be and the men in charge of the current season of the series are wondering what will happen next on the series. Will a ninth season happen?
TV Series Finale reported yesterday that Paul Lee, ABC President, is willing to spin-off Castle if the stars of the series, Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic, left the series.
According to Deadline, Alexi Hawley spoke about the future of the series at a TCA’s party on Saturday night. He said:
“This season was a little bit of a transition, getting Castle into the PI office and setting that world up for him to give him that drive. We wanted to wrap up a lot of the threads of different conspiracies, Beckett’s mother’s murder, Castle’s missing time. We wanted by the end of Season 8 to have gotten through all those — hopefully in a compelling and satisfying way — so Season 9 can be more about the case of the week, going back to the fun of solving the case of the week and not have the luggage of past conspiracies.”
Hawley would like the series to continue with the same cast, but he made it clear that the writers need to know what the future of the series so that they can plan the final episodes of this season, Episodes 21 and 22.
He said:
“Last year (creator) Andrew Marlowe wrote the finale not knowing if they would come back, and this year we knew we could possibly do the same thing — have a nice conclusion and still set up something we can launch into if there is a season 9. I think going out with a cliffhanger of sorts always helps you when you come back.”
In addition to the planning for season nine, Hawley revealed that all the currently open storylines on the series right now will be closed out by the end of this season eight. That would allow season nine to go back to the “case of the week” format.
Are you a fan of Castle? Is time for the series to end, or do you want to see more? Tell us what you think.
Sorry about SK but in “Baskstabber” Beckett revealed a cruel side of her personality: when Castle attempted to kiss her “Good Morning” she said, “No. You betrayed me (in a dream).” When Castle asked how and why, she said she, “Didn’t want to re-live it,” leaving Castle perplexed. But Beckett told Esposito and Ryan about the “betrayal” dream and they must have had a good laugh at what a chump Castle is. In a fit of desperation, I wrote a script that resolves the LokSat dilemma, and brings Caskett back together. Read it at castledialoguesalt.com. Joe M
Abc have fired Stana Katic the star of the show
The show is dead to me I will no longer watch castle even if it come back as season 9 it’s dead
Finished
Just read Stana Katic will not be signing for season9 she will be killed at the end of season 8
The end of the best show on TV I will continue to watch in on DVDs season 1-7.
I’m not a writer or playwright; I’m an astrophysicist with a love of creative, complex crime drama. So…I’ve written 2 dialogues that resolve the LokSat dilemma and re-unite Castle & Beckett ALL IN ONE EPISODE. castledialoguesalt.com
I agree 100%. But just in case, I wrote “Castle Dialogues I’d Like To Hear”, based on Andrew Marlowe’s fascinating if flawed main characters. Let me know what you think: castledialoguesalt.com.
Love this show…..please do not cancel!
Sorry that should be Beckett,
I have watched Castle from the beginning and have to say, series 5/6 was the best, series 8 was a total disaster, the main reason for the success of this show is the chemistry between Castle & Bennett solving the crimes, this was sadly missing in 8 and especially when she left him!! I know their characters need to develop, but not at the expense of what makes this show great. If they are going to do another series, then they need to get it back to what we all like!!!!!
Lots of viewers here in the UK love this show. Please, please, please, let us have a series 9, especially if it goes back to the original format.
The show must continue, I look forward to Monday nights. Please don’t cancel the show..
I agree with Joe Mayers the show must continue
Ps
Loved seasons1-6 season 7 not so good season 8 TOTAL CRAP .if season 9 goes ahead l hope the writer go with my idea or go back to the original storyline of solving murders
It’s romoured Nathan would like to do other parts well let him .. New storyline for the program, Lokset kills castle, Beckett kills Lokset , mourns the lose of Castle, then starts doing her job which is solving murders. Shows new title MRS CASTLE
CASTLE must continue. Other procedurals have continued for many episodes – even years – keeping loyal viewers happy; e.g., NCIS, Law and Order, Bones, Blue Bloods, Etc., even when characters come and go. Castle should realize that Beckett does not trust him to be actively involved in the Loksat investigation for fear that his impetuousness will expose her investigation. Castle should realize by now that Beckett is oblivious to his feelings of desertion, of his hurt and his dismay at the real reasons for the Caskett breakup He should wonder whether their romance and the slower-burn challenges of staying in… Read more »
I love Castle, but have to admitt that I preferred seasons 1 to 5.
I miss that teasing and the romance between Caskett. I like the funny scenes with the boys. Who had that strange idea that they need to seperate? Where did their wonderful dialogues go to?
