ABC's Castle has been cancelled.

June 01, 2024

It was announced this week that the much loved ABC drama “Castle” has been cancelled.

“Castle” which has run for eight seasons will not be back for a ninth, it comes on the back of the news that female lead Stana Katic and show regular Tamala Jones were leaving the show.

“Castle” was created by Andrew Marlowe. The series had numerous show runners with David Amann taking over for just Seven 7, and then Alexi Hawley and Terence Paul Winter stepping in for Season 8. Marlowe remained close to the show, after he stepped down as show runner.

The season finale which airs next week on May 16 in the US will serve as the series finale.

The shows stars have taken to social media to react to the news of the cancellation and thank the fans for eight years of support.

Nathan Fillion took to twitter:

All things must end. It has been an honor working with the men and women of Castle. I am truly amazed at what we’ve done. Thank you all.

Dear Fans,
In whatever project I do next, loudly notice how unlike Castle and fresh and versatile I am. Thanks.

“Your devotion to our show has carried us for these unforgettable 8 seasons,” she wrote. “I’m lucky to have met and worked with and for the lot of you. I will always be grateful.”
