ABC has cancelled Castle at the last – there wont be a Season 9 of the procedural.
Despite nearing a deal for Season 9 without leading lady Stana Katic, the network has instead opted to end the series, with the upcoming May 16 finale now representing the series finale.
RIP.

May 12, 2016 at 21:15Glad to see they did the right thing, now show us the happy ending they filmed so we can finally get a good night’s sleep.

May 13, 2016 at 12:34I second that opinion. Smartest thing they’ve done so far. Sure we will see more of Stana
& Tamala is already into something. 2 talented ladies.

May 14, 2016 at 20:04I also second that motion. Season 9 would only have been successful with the entire cast coming back. Thanks for doing the right thing. I hope you can wrap this up nicely.

May 13, 2016 at 14:54Both stars will be seen again, separately, in new TV shows. Hopefully, years from now, when their new characters stand a chance against the memories of their Castle & Beckett personas.

May 14, 2016 at 06:38What a shame that a good program like Castle is cancelled when reality soul sucking TV series get renewed. Still Nathan Fillion will go onto other amazing projects. RIP Castle.

May 16, 2016 at 08:45Sad that the show had to go although I do understand the decision they made. It was a great show which will be missed. After eight years it got the happy ending it should so thank you to the studios for deciding to cancel it when they did, especially that after firing Stana and Tamala the show would have never been the same.
All in all, it is sad to see a show like Castle, of which I was a faithful viewer from the minute I saw the first episode to go. It was a wonderful eight years. Hopefully there will be something just as good taking it’s place this fall.

May 16, 2016 at 22:36All the good shows are always cancelled, all these reality shows get rid of some of them.
I hate Castle is ending but it wouldn’t be same without Stana and Tamala.
Just wrong, so wrong.

May 18, 2016 at 09:21Loved Castle series until the producers started making so many mistakes – first should have rewritten Capt. Montgomery’s role. Then many others! It could have been a great series for a long time!!!! Will miss the entire cast!!!

May 17, 2016 at 00:16Thank goodness it’s gone! Went from being a great crime drama series to an insipid rom-com. I stopped watching a year or Tobago.

May 17, 2016 at 02:23For once they did the right thing; series 8 was a real struggle to keep watching, shame as it had been such a great series

May 17, 2016 at 12:23To all those castle haters I’m sorry to see it go hope some other smart network might pick it up like HBO did when CBS cancelled the sopranos .
JOY JARVIS says
May 20, 2016 at 03:44Why is it always the good ones the go down. It wouldn’t have been the same without the whole cast. The happy ending was nice but bittersweet.
But we still have those “decades old reality shows” to watch……….
Nancy says
May 26, 2016 at 20:12Only show I really wanted to watch! I even read all the books!! I feel like a close friend has died, total feeling of sadness. This could and should have gone on for a long time rather then keeping those stupid 30 minute brain dead comedy’s and those aforementioned reality shows!!

November 11, 2016 at 23:27The reason it was cancelled was because Beckett and Castle didn’t get along anymore. I’m not 100% sure about Castle but I know CBS said that Beckett couldn’t stand to be around Castle anymore. So when Beckett was not going to renew her contract, CBS realized it would not work with just Castle and no Beckett, that’s when they cancelled the show . I have been a big fan since the very beginning and there was always such great chemistry between the two . But the last year when they were hardly ever together I’m sure due to the fact that they couldn’t stand to be with each other so they certainly couldn’t play husband and wife anymore . It was no fun to watch Beckett and Castle. work together anymore since they were hardly ever in scenes together. I miss all of the cast on the show & had it not been for that, the show had great storylines to go for a couple more years.
