However, with the way the executive producers forced the happy ending on Rick and Kate, it is no longer possible to undo what was already done.
Unfortunately, there was no truth to those rumors as “Castle” remains canceled to this day and there are no efforts to bring about the rescue of the show from cancellation from any other network or streaming service.
In an interview during the San Diego ComicCon, Nathan Fillion said that there was no proper send-off given to the characters of “Castle” but it is way better than outright cancellation for a TV series that lasted eight years, notes TV Line.
He said that he has worked with amazing people that he has loved so very much and that he would surely miss them.
Despite reports of a significant drop in its ratings during the early goings of Season 8, “Castle” actually managed to stay above the six million viewership mark during its final season.
That was the reason why executive producers Alexi Hawley and Terence Paul Winter, confirmed that they actually filmed an alternate version of “Castle” Season 8 just in case the show gets renewed for Season 9.
The alternate version would show that Rick Castle and his family and colleagues will already be thinking that Kate Beckett is already dead.
