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?
I am so disappointed that CASTLE was cancelled. PLEASE BRING IT BACK. The show and characters were great together! PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!
My husband and I LOVE the show CASTLE. We DO NOT want the show cancelled. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!
Seeing how popular the Castle novels are, the network should’ve known how popular this show is/was, but it’s all about money and scripted shows are expensive. I truly despise it when story lines are not allowed to play out. I have seen the actor who played Javier on other shows but no one else. Bring back CASTLE, if not on ABC, another network!! It’s worked before!!
I LOVE PLEASE BRING IT BACK ON. I LIVED FOR MONDAY NIGHT
I HOPE YOU WILL SEE IT IN YOUR HEART TO BRING IT BACK TO US
THE FANS AFTER ALL KATE AND RICK ARE SUPPOSE TO HAVE
CHILDREN YEA
LOVE YALL BETTY
I love this show. Every time a good, thinking, fun show comes on, it gets cancelled and yet we leave The Big Bang Theory on. What is going on people? Don’t cancel this show, PLEASE.
Find another show these actors can start in together. They seem to work well together. And i8mis them. Leave Kate out.
What a shame to cancel this show. Take Kate out but leave the show. She’s not the ‘star’
It should have definitely been signed for several more seasons. There’s nothing on TV I want to watch anymore
It should not have been cancelled. Been waiting for the new season.
Yes Castle should have been renewed. Unfortunately, none of the stations can ever come up with something as decent and good as this series was. Just like Mash, when it was done, it was done. Too few intelligent series. So I wonder will Bones be next or NCIS? People don’t let that happen.
please bring Castle back, one of the best tv shows ever.I love all the cast.
Castle was a great show, very disappointed it was cancelled. Just goes to show that producers really don’t care what the fans like or don’t like. Very disappointed in this decision. Would love to see Casl brought back.
Please bring Castle back. I agree who decides this? One of the best shows on. Please listen to your viewers!
Great family show and not garbage as many tv shows are. Hope they don’t cancel.
Have a heart bring castle back please
