A "Castle" spin-off is said to be in the works following the cancellation of the ABC police procedural after Season 8. The spin-off is expected to focus on Stana Katic's character, Det. Kate Beckett, as the show was allegedly canceled because of an ongoing feud between Katic and Nathan Fillion.
"Castle" spinoff rumors are currently making rounds on the Internet. However, it goes without saying that these rumors are based on a previous statement from former ABC Entertainment President Paul Lee.
In an earlier interview with TVGuide.com, Lee revealed that the network is looking into producing a "Castle" spinoff. This plan started after rumors about Stana Katic and Nathan Fillion leaving the show made rounds on the Internet.
"We'd love for 'Castle' to keep going for many years to come," he said. "There are a lot of conversations going on about how we can do that."
Lee is said to be a big fan of "Castle" and has always found ways to renew the show for another season. However, now that someone else took over Lee's position in the network, this could mean that the spinoff may no longer happen.
Fans, however, are open to the possibility that the "Castle" spinoff will no longer focus on Castle or Beckett and may focus on other characters such as that of Seamus Dever's role. Others hope that the spinoff will focus on Katic's role instead since there is a lot more to explore on her character.
Rumors are rife that "Castle" Season 8 was canceled because of an ongoing feud between Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic, reports Design & Trend. Reports claim that Katic and Fillion's feud has become so bad that the actress would rush to her dressing room in tears.
Katic's rep has previously addressed the aforementioned rumors and stated that there is no feud between Katic and Fillion. The "Castle" actor also wished his co-star well shortly after she announced her departure from the series.
