Castle: two years later, Stana Katic still says she is “hurt” by the brutal end of the series
Although she is now the headliner of a new series, Absentia, Stana Katic has still not digested the end of Castle , which came as a surprise almost two years ago. When questioned by EW, she said she “still didn’t fully understand the reasoning behind the way things turned out” and was “hurt” by this “difficult abrupt end”. Remember: after eight years of loyal service, the female star of the series is thanked by ABC in a funny way since the chain simply does not offer to return for a possible season 9 while her sidekick, Nathan Fillion is in advanced negotiations. The argument put forward: budgetary restrictions. Because for the series to continue, its costs must be drastically reduced. But finally, ABC decides to cancel it at the end of its season 8, thus offering to the fans of the first hour a happy ending to the adventures of the novelist detective and his policewoman of the wife. A sequel to the series, without Katic, would likely have seen Beckett die on the final cliffhanger...
