canceled + renewed TV shows - TV Series Finale

   

Castle: Writers Planning for Series Cancellation (Again)

by Jessica Pena, December 28, 2015

Castle

Castle is currently in the middle of its eighth season, but will it be the last? In a recent interview with TVLine, the co-showrunners for the ABC series’  discussed the future of the show and this season’s finale.

The second half of season eight premieres on February 1st.

Speaking to TVLine, co-showrunners Alexi Hawley and Terence Paul Winter addressed the very real possibility that season eight may be Castle‘s last. The seventh season of the detective series didn’t perform great in the ratings, dropping more than 15% from the previous season. However, the series is still performing decently in its eighth season, with an average of around 6.7 million viewers per episode.

Hawley told TVLine:

The reality is that [the network execs] won’t make that decision until very late. So our plan is just to tell a satisfying story and try to wrap up the season in an exciting way.”

This is a similar move the series’ creators, Andrew W. Marlowe and Terri Edda Miller, made with season seven’s finale. Last year, the team intended for that season finale to also work a series’ finale in case they weren’t renewed. Winter told TVLine that they’ll do the same with season eight, but both him and Hawley think the show could continue for more seasons.

“We think the show has a lot of life in it,” Hawley said.

Looks like we’ll just have to wait and see. Word on whether ABC has renewed Castle or not won’t be available for awhile.

What do you think? Do you watch Castle? Do you think the show should wrap up or continue for another season?

I just discovered this show a few weeks ago and I’ve been DVR-ing the reruns like crazy. I love the show! Some shows are funny and crack me up, others are intense. I feel like I know the characters and I would miss them if this show gets cancelled.

Yes your right Castle was up for cancellation before. The move to Monday nights and not knowing if Stana would sign a new contract hurt. But that was not the biggest problems, for some reason we as fans can not get through to the new show runners that the split and separation of Rick and Kate is the biggest elephant in the room. They look at the fans but refuse to see that problem, maybe they just want to take the show down. If not they need to fix it by episode 10. What make this cancellation difference from the… Read more »

Castle was a really good show, but it is getting a little old, mostly because seasons 7 and 8 had terrible overarching plot lines. I also hate the introduction of some of the new characters this season, and I don’t like Kate as the chief. It is shaping up to be a very awkward season. The earlier seasons were wonderful, and I wish they could get back to that energy and excitement. That being said, I don’t want to see this show get cancelled, because it is literally the only show I watch on television anymore. Put Castle in Netfliz… Read more »
