  • Stana Katic: ‘Castle’ Fans Can Relax, Kate Beckett Will Return For Season 8

    Stana Katic will return in her role os NYPD Detective Kate Beckett in Season 8 of Castle, ABC announced Tuesday , and fans are rejoicing.

    For weeks, Stana Katic seemed on the fence over her decision to return or not. Her co-star, Nathan Fillion, who plays mystery writer Richard Castle, confirmed his return weeks ago.

    “I’m so pleased to announce that, after talking with our new show runners, Terence Paul Winter and Alexi Hawley (both of whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with on the show before) I’m excited about the future plans for Beckett and delighted to be returning for a Season 8 of Castle,” Katic tweeted.

    “In the Season 7 finale, Castle revealed some of his backstory for becoming a mystery writer, while Beckett was faced with a choice about her future — will she choose to pursue a new challenge or stay where she is?” the network said in a news release.

    The remaining cast, which includes Tamala Jones as Medical Examiner Lanie Parish, Jon Huertas as NYPD Detective Javier Esposito, Seamus Dever as NYPD Detective Kevin Ryan, Penny Johnson Jerald as NYPD Captain Victoria Gates, Molly Quinn as Alexis Castle and Susan Sullivan as Martha Rodgers are all returning.

    The Season 7 finale, which aired Monday night, left the couple’s fate in limbo land, which is no surprise really. In the show, Beckett has a decision to make — whether to leave the precinct to run for the New York state senate or remain where she is, according to the New York Post.

    ABC also announced that Season 8 would no be the final season.

  • Stana Katic of ‘Castle’ Marries Long-Time Love Kris Brkljac in Romantic Croatian Monastery

    Stana Katic of Castle married her long-time love Kris Brkljac over the weekend in Croatia.

    Stana Katic, whose alter-ego Kate Beckett also married this season, walked down the aisle to become Mrs. Brkljac.

    The 37-year-old bride and her new husband, a business efficiency consultant tied the knot “in a private family monastery on the Dalmatian coast,” according to Stana Katic’s rep, Nancy Seltzer.

    Few other details were released, apart from a snapshot of the couple’s wedding bands.

    According to The Los Angeles Times, Stana Katic, the Canadian-native actress has Croatian and Serbian roots and has been dating Brkljac for several years.

    Not only did Stana Katic celebrate her wedding, she also celebrated her 37th birthday on Sunday.

    She’s played detective Kate Beckett on ABC’s Castle for the past seven seasons, and this season may turn out to be the series’ finale.

    Katic is slated to next appear in writer-director Evan Oppenheimer’s romance The Tourist.

    However, Stana Katic may be thinking of settling down to a simpler life one of these days. She told People magazine earlier this month about her Alternative Travel Project. She told the mag that growing up the child of immigrants inspired her environmentalism today.

    “My ‘normal’ has always been to have a veggie garden and a few fruit trees in the backyard,” she said.

    Maybe Stana Katic will find that somewhere in Croatia!

  • Stana Katic Leaving ‘Castle’? The Show Without Beckett Looms

    Stana Katic leaving Castle? Unthinkable.

    Fans of the ABC show may have to imagine Castle without Beckett if Stana Katic does not renew her contract to return for Season Eight.

    Aficionados of the show can rest assured that Rick Castle will still be sleuthing about. Nathan Fillion has renewed his contract to return should the eighth season be ordered, which is still unclear at this point. However, Stana Katic has yet to sign a new deal, according to TVLine.com.

    Stana Katic hinted that she may chose to move on in an interview with TVLine in November.

    “If the character is complete, if there is nowhere else to go creatively, then I think it’s better to stop when you’re on top…. [F]or me it’s about art over finance, and as long as we’re creating something that is compelling and that has somewhere to go, then we’re good to go. And when we find that we’re not… then it’s time for everyone to pack up and move onto the next thing,” said Stana Katic.

    Showrunner David Amann, who replaced creator Andrew W. Marlowe this season, will not return, and there is no word yet on who will replace Amann.

    Castle has not yet been renewed for an eighth season, and without Stana Katic, there may be no hope. It’s hard to imagine a Rick Castle without his Beckett.

    Cast member Seamus Dever’s contract is also set to expire this season and it’s not clear if he will sign. He told TVLine that the future of the show was “really up in the air.”

    Castle‘s Season 7 finale is set to air on Monday, May 11, and will find Beckett at “a crossroads,” according to the synopsis.

    That can’t be good.

    Hey Castle fans, would you watch the show without Stana Katic?
