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?
Please reconsider cancelling it was a great show to watch. You always get red of the good shows
No! Not ready for the show to end! I love Castle
I can’t believe ABC would cancel the BEST SHOW on their network bar none.Castle has entertained me and many family and friends for 8 years with good clean decent sometimes funny and sometimes drama filled moments that had us sitting at the edge of our seats waiting to see what happens next.Every Monday it was scheduled to be on we would look forward to seeing an hour packed of action and drama by all the great actors and actresses on Castle.ABC will definitely not be watched by me or my family and friends cause they have nothing left we would… Read more »
PLEASE reconsider cancelling .
Time to bring ALL of them back (Beckett & Lanie included)
I’m very disappointed. I’ve enjoyed the show for 8 yrs. another couple of years would have been even better. Some of the shows you have on aren’t worth the time ours or yours. Castle was definitely worth keeping it on the air.
Oh well. I & many others will miss it. Back to CBS I go.
Ps thank goodness you didn’t kill Beckett. At least they went out together & happy
No reason to watch ABC any more
I Think Castle is one of the best shows on tv and should absolutely be renewed. A good clean show that can be watched by kids or gramma! My whole family and all my friends watch Castle
I’m very disappointed that ABC cancelled Castle. This was a great show every week ! I hope ABC can reconsider. I’m one very upset fan. This show was always intriging and I loved watching it
This was my favorite show of all time. I love Castle and a so disappointed it got cancelled. I Wish they would reconsider and renew it.
RENEW
PLEASE RENEW IT WAs AN AMAZING SHOW
Renew! Becket and Castle have charisma. That’s hard to get. Don’t kill off a good thing. Bring them back for their loyal fans
You should arrange this this is very sad I just started watching the show and I loved it . Renew renew
I loved this show. It was smart and funny and yet I could watch it with my family without fear of being embarrassed by the crap you see on so many other shows. It was a show that filled a gap, one of a few left that was well written and acted and not so over the top like so many out there today. I will miss it as my Monday night staple.
Sad only the good shows are removed
