Exclusive: ABC Orders More Castle!
Posted on January 27, 2010 | 61 Comments
Breaking news just in from our sources! ABC has ordered two more episodes for Castle this season taking the total number of episodes for Season 2 to 24.
Since Season 2 began viewer numbers have crept up with an increase almost every week, continuing against the trend as other shows continued to lose viewers. On October 20, ABC ordered a further nine episodes to add to the initial season order of 13.
Last week the much anticipated episode “Sucker Punch” in which the murder of Beckett’s mother was revisited, obtained a season high in the 18-49 demographic reaching 2.8 and 9.44 million total viewers. Castle also took the number one spot for the hour and gained more viewers than CSI: Miami in the important “women 18-34″ demographic.
This week the ratings rise continued with the episode “The Third Man” reaching a new series high of 3.1 in 18-49 with 10.5 million viewers.
No news yet on Season 3 but the signs continue to look positive.

Thank you, ABC! Three in our household who always watch it live and then again on hulu to pick up anything we may have missed.
The leads are magic together and the rest of the cast is well chosen. Good mother/son and father/daughter interactions. Darling cops, who need maybe a little more to do, because the relationships are nicely established.
Give us lots more.

This was indeed my Twitter teaser… although I honestly thought I’d be able to reveal the rumor, like, an hour after I posted about “the rumor.”
Thanks for all the nice wishes — kickass!
January 28th, 2010 at 7:04 am
Awesome.
January 28th, 2010 at 7:54 am
I LOVE THIS SHOW KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK UP NATHAN AND STANA LOVE THE CHEMISTRY YOU BOTH HAVE ON THE SHOW I GIVE THE SHOW TEN STARS
January 28th, 2010 at 8:28 am
Not a problem Jose, as long as it happened, you can tease all you want!
I can’t think of much better news I could’ve woken up to today!!
January 28th, 2010 at 8:55 am
Yay! I’m so excited. I love this show.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:54 am
The only thing that would make me happier is Season 3! So thrilled to get another 2 episodes this year! This is my only must see show of the week and the only one I watch more than once! The chemistry between Fillion and Katic has no match and the writing and supporting cast are amazing!
January 28th, 2010 at 1:41 pm
I am THRILLED that ABC has ordered more episodes of CASTLE! The show just gets better and better each week! Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Jon Huertas, Seamus Dever, Susan Sullivan, Tamala Jones, and beautiful Molly C. Quinn keep us laughing with the comedic intelligent banter they all do so well and bring us to tears just as easily when there’s a sad moment. Keep CASTLE coming for many years to come and thanks so much for the 2 seasons you’ve given/are giving to us, ABC!
January 28th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
[...] folks from castletv.net who had it on their site yesterday can stop bugging me now. [...]
January 28th, 2010 at 4:34 pm
Woohoo! Truly awesome news. But why are they dragging the season 3 pick-up announcement? Or is it some kind of strategy to get more hype, thus more potential viewers? Either way, this is still good news. The recent casting of Delany’s character’s partner is pretty okay too. You’ve all heard about that and the serial killer plot line, right?
January 28th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
If there isn’t a Season 3 I’ll be really sad.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:47 pm
Congratulations to ABC-TV and to the cast and crew of “Castle”. You have truly created a masterpiece of writing, directing, acting, action, adventure, and even humor that makes “Castle” a great television watching on broadcast. Keep up the great work.
January 29th, 2010 at 6:59 pm
When I read this on IMDB, I did a Tiger Woods-esque fist pump at my desk at work. Yay! Good call ABC!
January 29th, 2010 at 11:09 pm
more Castle LOVE LOVE LOVE IT
January 29th, 2010 at 11:11 pm
I am so addicted to this show! Its truly unbelievable how addicted I am. I laugh so hard throughout the entire show and am always trying to figure out the case with them. Never loved a show so much! Thank you cast, crew, and writers for such an amazing show. Makes my week and keeps me begging for more!! ABC please please keep renewing this show! I dont know if I could go on without it.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:12 am
Everyone can relax, ratings are at 10 million & the bubble for cancelation is 6-8 million [depending on cost etc.] We got at least another year!
January 30th, 2010 at 7:22 pm
“the bubble for cancellation” is not dependent purely on total # of viewers. Demographics are also very important as other external factors.
January 30th, 2010 at 10:28 pm
If Castle gets cancelled I think I would die. Go Castle!!!!!
January 30th, 2010 at 10:37 pm
I look forward to the adventures of Ric Castle and Crew every week, it’s a great show. One of the best shows on tv. Thanks ABC
January 31st, 2010 at 10:14 am
Castle is such an all round entertaining show. The cast really work well together, I would love to see this show renewed.
January 31st, 2010 at 11:51 am
Keep it up everybody on Castle! Way to go ABC! You better make a season 3! I can’t get enough of this show!
February 1st, 2010 at 8:55 pm
This show has to come back it’s the ONE thing that makes Monday’s worth getting up for! One of the best, most refreshing shows out there….chemistry for these characters is the best!
February 1st, 2010 at 10:10 pm
WAHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO castle is by far the best show on tv, but a word of advice! they’re evolving the relationship between castle and beckett too soon, maybee the writers are scared of being cancelled and want to reveal an auspicious ending befor going off air for good… but my advice would be not to do this, if anyone follows bones those 2 have been secretely in love for 5 seasons, thats what keeps it going, if they avtually hook up… then what? its the suspense that keeps us glued to the tube! please take my advice!!!
February 1st, 2010 at 11:33 pm
I love the writing and the interaction with the family members on CASTLE..
I look forward to Monday nights to see Castle and have even watched the reruns. Not many of the other shows on tv are worth watching.
I also agree with mikestofolis about keeping the cat and mouse
relationship of Becket and Castle alive!
February 2nd, 2010 at 11:02 pm
Castle is the only show on TV I like, I even watch the reruns because the show is so well written and acted. Please keep the show on, i am sick of good shows coming on and then they get axed.
February 3rd, 2010 at 12:23 pm
I can only hope this show is scheduled for a Season 3 – best writing, acting, directing – and the chemistry between the two main characters is soooo great! In fact, the entire cast is fantastic. Love the daughter, mother, captain and the two side kicks. Just love this show!
February 3rd, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Highly excited at the prospect of a season 3! It’s time to let the quality shows shine and give them their reign. Castle employs great wit and charm while still delivering the crime mysteries that many of us love. The cast shows great promise of character, and I would love to follow them for many more seasons to come
February 6th, 2010 at 8:29 pm
One of the Best shows on TV! Please renew them for next and future seasons!
Nathan Fallion will make a great Green Lantern!
February 17th, 2010 at 4:51 pm
WHY have RERUNS already started????? THIS is absolutely a GREAT TV show PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL; however this is way too early for reruns to start!
February 17th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
It’s because of the Olympics. A lot of shows are in repeats right now because the networks know that a lot of people will be tuning in for the Olympics instead of their regular shows. Keep an eye on the Episode Schedule page for info on when episodes (including the new ones) are airing.
February 18th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
I know I’m probably not the majority, but I would much rather watch Castle than the Olympics. Honesty, I can see the highlights of the Olympics on one of the sports channels or read about it in the paper. I’m not going to dedicate hours of my life to sit down and watch them. As for the Castle repeats, sadly I wish they were repeating the first season instead of season two. Season two is still too fresh in my mind. Instead, I find myself gravitating towards some of the cable station shows that are running new shows that I don’t normally watch.
February 19th, 2010 at 3:52 pm
I have DVRs of 8 Castle episodes, which I have been watching instead of the Olympics, which seem to simply be an excuse for more commercials! I love the show. EVERYTHING about it. The scripts are funny, intelligent, and well acted. The actors are perfect for the characters, and I love Susan Sullivan – yes, I am old enough to remember her early career…she was one of the FEW soap actresses whose name I remembered. I was never a soap opera fan, but I remember liking HER. So glad to see her again! I am looking forward to the announcement of the third season signing…!!! (Actually, it is the ONLY show I watch on ABC right now. Dancing with the Stars will be back in the fall, right?)
February 24th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
absolutely love Castle. Long may it run. Great chemistry, good plot, lots of comic relief.
February 28th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
Oh My Gosh! So excited, love, love, love,love, love this show. Thanks ABC for finally listening to the fans! Congrats to the Cast & Crew. =)
March 2nd, 2010 at 9:19 am
Would you please stop putting Castle on the chopping block!!! It is a fun witty show.
March 2nd, 2010 at 9:23 am
Castle isn’t on the chopping block. ABC is very pleased with how it’s performing. The gaps in new episodes in the schedule is quite normal for most shows, it’s how the networks extend a show for an entire season (until May).
Everyone loves Castle, don’t worry, it’s not going anywhere. If you would like to tell ABC you enjoy the show there are instructions on how you can do that here http://castletv.net/show-your-support

This is the first time I have ever written to ask that a television show be continued! It is great. I was out of the area and missed the last 2 or 3
shows. Is there a way to view them? Thanks & please keep it on for a dozen more seasons!!
