Variety is reporting that ABC has picked up the full second season of Castle, adding 9 episodes to the 13 already ordered.
Castle stars Nathan Fillion as a best-selling mystery writer Richard Castle who is paired with NYPD detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) to help solve the city's toughest cases. The series airs Mondays at 10 PM.
Castle's first novel featuring NYPD homicide detective Nikki Heat, Heat Wave, has been popular with readers as well. Though not quite in the same bestseller category as Castle's poker buddies James Patterson, Stephen J. Cannell, or Michael Connelly (who have all appeared in cameo roles on the show), it has enjoyed respectable sales, generally placing about 20 recently on our weekly bestselling list of hardcover mysteries. Castle used Beckett as his inspiration for the series character, and in this week's episode, at a launch party for the book, Kate reads the book's dedication: "To the extraordinary KB and all my friends at the 12th."

I'm very excited about this, I've loved Castle since it started. One of my 2 new favorite shows last season along with Fringe. Nathan Fillion is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGot the Heat Wave book already, haven't read it yet though.
Hope Castle continues for a long time.
