TV show description:
Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) is an incredibly famous mystery novelist who has become bored with his own success. His life starts to get interesting when he learns that a real-world copycat killer has started staging murder scenes based on his novels.
Rick is soon questioned by NYPD Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), a very bright and aggressive detective who keeps her investigations under a tight rein. Their styles instantly clash yet sparks begin to fly, leading both to danger and a hint of romance as Rick steps in to help Kate find the killer. Once that case is solved, the author decides to use her as the basis for a new book series.
Rick uses his connections to get permission to accompany Kate while she investigates other cases, much to her frequent irritation. But Kate has a reputation for looking for “freaky” cases so she needs all the help she can get.
Others on her team include Kate’s confidant, Medical Examiner Lanie Parish (Tamala Jones); sardonic Detective Javier Esposito (Jon Huertas); and Detective Kevin Ryan (Seamus Dever), a nice guy who’s always ready to offer obscure facts. Captain Roy Montgomery (Ruben Santiago-Hudson) is their boss who makes sure that Kate’s cases go smoothly, in spite of all of the strong personalities involved.
Rick’s mother is Martha Rodgers (Susan Sullivan), a diva and former Broadway actress, who still seeks the spotlight and often ends up getting involved with the police cases. Alexis (Molly Quinn) is Rick’s quick-witted and insightful teenage daughter who keeps her famous dad in line.
Rick and Kate build upon their new relationship as they look to solve strange homicides in New York — as much fun as one can have with death & murder.

What do you think? Do you like the Castle TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a ninth season?
Renew. Whatever you do this season that is right..renew renew. Cannot stress too strongly. I give up on abc
I love this show, though at times it was a bit on the light side, not lot of substance or maybe trying to fit too much into one hour. I loved the tension between the led characters in the early seasons. Will miss the commardarie between all the actors. They never forgot they were a team.
I and my family love Castle… Why would it be cancelled. Best spot in town running right after Dancing With The Stars…. Please reconsider cancelling!!!
What a disappointment. One of the really good shows. I give up with TV execs.
This is all about not being able to re-sign Stana
Renew! Renew! Renew!
I’m saddened to hear Castle has been cancelled, it’s my favorite show and look forward to it every week. I’ve been hooked since the very first episode and Monday could never come fast enough. Thanks to the cast for all the joy and adventure they brought into my life each week. Hope the network will reconsider its decision.
I love Castle and was surprised that it was cancelled. Bring it back
Definitely think it should be continued. It is sad that agreements can’t be reached to keep it going. There are very few shows on TV anymore that are worth watching and fairly clean. Actors are leaving shows and it is sad. I guess it is time to leave tv and pray for our nation
At least they should make a new series starring characters from castle, about castle.
Am I right❣
We love castle❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❣❣❣
I love Stana, good be her her job back so the show can continue!!
Castle is a tv show that I look forward to at the end of the week, but the show is BAE ABC don’t let me get made at you! Don’t do this!!!!!
I have watch this show from the very beginning never missed an episode. I can’t believe they’re taking it off the air. Every time I find a show I really enjoy on ABC it’s short-lived
I love Castle and think it should be renewed. Please reconsider continuing this tv series…
Please bring Caste back. Need to get back tothe t
I really love Castle why would you cancel a great show. Why not cancel the reality shows those are the boring shows. Castle is a great show and you have to go an cancel it. Just when Beckett and Castle got a great chemistry together. Another 4 yrs of great storylines could be brought to life with them . THANKS ALOT FOR RUINING A GREAT SHOW.
