Castle Season 8: Rumors About Cancellation and Upcoming Episodes, New Format for The Show Revealed, And More

With insight about the upcoming episodes of Castle Season 8 forthcoming, fans have taken upon themselves to speculate what’s in store for the next episodes of the series. The title Mr. and Mrs. Castle reminds us of the film Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and might have a similar plotline.

Design and Trend has reported that some fans are of the opinion that Castle and Beckett might realize that they aren’t married, just like in the movie! Maybe there were discrepancies in their marriage papers that rendered their marriage void. But these are nothing more than fan-made rumors at the moment!

Castle has a special Christmas-themed episode every year, but it’s not going to be so this year. ABC is shifting Castle Season 8 to a new format where half the season ends by 23rd November, only to reprise with the mid-season premiere in February next year. This news had been confirmed by Alexi Hawley himself.

Alexi Hawley and Terence Paul Winter has assured fans that Castle and Beckett are not going to get a divorce in Season 8 of Castle, but they haven’t said that a divorce is not in the cards in the future and this has gotten the fans worried.

  1. Till this point there has been a gentle but consistent slide in the ratings. The Nov. sweeps and their subsequent ratings will be a harbinger if the spring season will be the series last.
    ABC and Castle production wasn’t ready for significant drop in viewers and the devistating drop in the demo. at the start of season 8. The consensus had been ABC was willing to go along with the numbers of season 7, and thought they would hold steady for this season.

  3. I feel that season 8 of Castle is going swell and that those whom (Fans) don’t, aren’t giving the show a chance to progress on and let it play out what is happening right now, it will get better and Rick and Kate will work things out, they have to because they have to have Babies, and it’s the Best Show on Tv right now. So give it a chance the show and the writers Hawley and Winter and ABC don’t CANCEL PLEEEASE.

  5. Solving well written crimes for Castle and Beckett with humor and chemistry is the format that works for the fans. Well written crimes worked for Perry Mason 9 years and a revision of the show 20 years later. Murder she wrote lasted 12 years and NCIS is still on the air with 13 seasons. If the format continues to follow “Moonlighting”, the show will be cancelled

  7. One of my favorite shows.Love Rick & Kate working together.I think that the whole cast is great! Ending it would be a big mistake. There arn’t that many exciting,fun,romantic shows on any longer. I don’t like many shows that are on any longer.Keep it on…………….please

  9. I want to see the show continue on.I’m willing to give this a chance but they didn’t have to split them up? There are plenty of shows in seasons 9 or higher are still going strong. Also, Why make Castle a PI when he is a mystery writer? The wtwt bit is old they did lets get on with it. I just hope that they fix this bc its my favorite tv show on and I’ve been watching for 8 seasons now and would like to continue watching it for more.

  11. Across most forums, article threads, facebook and twitter, fans are fairly consistent, this season is beyond a disaster and the new showrunners have utterly destroyed the integrity of both main characters. There is no ‘maybe’ about why ratings are low. The shows are now poorly written, lack chemistry, charm, charisma, intelligence and most of all, it lacks the entire point of the show, Rick and Kate solving crimes together. I’ve been a rabid fan of this show, love all previous 7 seasons, but at thist point I feel that ending the show will be a mercy because this is no longer Castle.. it’s some horrid abomination.

  13. No offense, but you’re being a bit.. well offensive because you act as if we’re willy nilly in our frustration. I’ve given this season plenty of opportunity, and it’s utterly painful to watch. Saying ‘give it a chance’ is like saying I should keep going to a dentist who not only causes excruciating pain with every visit, but accomplishes nothing with each visit, never actually fixing a cavity, or botching a root canal, telling you to come back next time and he’ll do the root canal correctly.. only.. well you see where I’m going.
    If you can sit through this trash and enjoy it.. well more power to you, but the ratings clearly demonstrate that you’re in the minority. People don’t stop watching proven, excellent and entertaining television, they stop when it becomes the opposite.

  15. While everyone is slamming the showrunners (and I concur) no one is wondering why the 2 main stars are putting up with this awful season. It would seem logical that they knew what was coming and agreed with the direction the show was taking. Are they just over it and therefore milking it for one last season? Do they not realize that more than likely Castle will be their lasting legacy. Does Stana want to be remembered as a flaky Beckett despised by her fans? Does Nathan want to be remembered as a pathetic buffoon? I hope there is a plan to salvage the show and their images but I just can’t envision it. Hope I’m wrong. This has been the broadcast TV equivalent of “New Coke” or the Edsel.

  17. S8E8—- Castle should have told BECKETT “IT IS NOT THE SEX, IT IS SEEING YOU AGAIN. LET US JUST TALK AND CUDDLE, I WILL RUB YOUR BACK”…..
