It can be recalled that Rick has gone missing right before he was to get married to Becket during the Season 6 finale. While some time was devoted to where he went during Season 7, the show never fully explained exactly who was behind his disappearance.
As a way also of giving in to fans’ requests, Rick and Kate will be making up for lost time in the bedroom during the second half of Season 8, confirms Alexi Hawley.
It seems that the mistake that showrunners Alexi Hawley and Terence Paul Winter made on at least five episodes during the first half of Season 8 of “Castle” is haunting the TV series.
Despite their obvious attempt to redeem themselves from the miscue of separating show protagonists Kate Beckett and Rick Castle one episode after tying the knot during the Season 8 premiere, it seems that the rating decline can no longer be undone.
As such, reports now have it that the current Season 8 of “Castle” is going to be the show’s last on the ABC network.
In a recent interview, Hawley and Winter hinted that the future does not look good for “Castle” so it is very unlikely for the show to be renewed for Season 9.
