The Future of Castle

Richard "Rick" Castle [Nathan Fillion] is a bestselling mystery author who was investigated by the New York City police department when the victim of a murder matched the description of a victim in one of his novels. At the time Castle was suffering writer's block having just killed off the main character, Derrick Storm, in his successful series of novels. During the investigation Castle is inspired by his run-in with the beautiful Detective Kate Beckett [Stana Katic] and through his connections with the Mayor he gets permission to hang out as a consultant at the precinct to do research for his book.

Beckett is initially horrified by the idea of Castle tagging along referring to him as "a 9 year old on a sugar rush totally incapable of taking anything seriously" but as time progresses she learns to appreciate his unique approach to solving crimes. Rounding out the team at the precinct are Detectives Ryan [Seamus Dever] and Esposito [Jon Huertas] and Captain Montgomery [Ruben Santiago Hudson].

During Season 1 we see the team get to know each other while working to solve a new case each week. The season ends on a cliffhanger after Castle confesses to Beckett that he had been looking into the mystery behind her mother's death, something she specifically asked him not to do.

In Season 2 we find Castle trying to work his way back into Beckett's good graces and with new writers joining the team there are some engaging and unpredictable cases to be solved. We also look a little deeper into the lives of the supporting characters.

Since Season 2 began viewer numbers have crept up with an increase almost every week, continuing against the trend as other shows continued to lose viewers. And the breaking news from our sources, ABC has ordered two more episodes for Castle this season taking the total number of episodes for Season 2 to 24.

No news yet on Season 3 but the signs continues to look positive.
