Castle fans in Australia last night were concerned with the mention “double final” in the promo for next week’s episode of Castle. We have been in touch with the network to clear up what’s happening.

This week is the final “ratings week” on Australian television for 2009 so many series currently aired will be finishing up including Castle’s lead-in Bones. The 2010 ratings season begins in February so the bad news is there will be no new episodes of Castle until then.

Next week viewers will be treated to two of the best episodes of Castle yet to air. “Vampire Weekend” features nods to roles from the actors’ past including Nathan Fillion’s series Firefly. This will be followed by “Famous Last Words”.

The good news however is that the Seven network has informed us they plan to air repeats of Castle on Seven and also on the new channel 7Two (Not currently available to areas receiving Prime). There are no air dates available for either network at this time.

In Australia Castle has continued to gain viewers each week adding another 50 thousand this week.  The next episode, Vampire Weekend, has received the highest ratings for season 2 in the US and is expected to rate well with Australian audiences. Ratings figures can be found on our forums.
