While it would appear that the show was only good for eight seasons, the abruptness of the Season 8 finale episode gave everyone the notion that “Castle” was indeed canceled for Season 9.
So, it came as a surprise to many fans that during the Season 8 finale episode of “Castle,” instead of a cliffhanger, they got a happy ending.
Not that they do not want Rick and Kate to have their happy ending but they certainly like having another season of “Castle” which would have been airing by this time already.
In October, Nathan Fillion shared his thoughts on the show’s cancellation. He said that it is a business more than anything else, debunking allegations that the firing of Stana Katic had something to do with the cancellation of “Castle” for Season 9.
Fillion said that it was not the beautiful send-off that fans were hoping for but it’s the entertainment industry and it is business, reports Morning News USA.
He says he gets it as an actor and as a professional. He added that he does not take it personally when a show gets canceled, citing that all his shows get canceled.
The actor even challenged the interviewer to check his resume and he would see for himself the long list of Fillion’s TV shows that got canceled.
