ABC’s detective drama Castle took a big step forward in getting an eighth-season renewal, as Nathan Fillion has signed on for another season to continue as the show’s star, B&C has learned.
However, if the show does return next fall, it will do so without its showrunner David Amann. B&C has also confirmed that Amann will not return for a potential eighth season. This was Amann’s first season as showrunner, having been an executive producer since 2010.
ABC has not made any formal decisions on its schedule for the 2015-16 season, which it will unveil next month during its upfront presentation to advertisers.
