New Nathan Fillion ‘Castle’ Spoilers And Season 8 Renewal or Cancellation Update: Stana Katic Not Returning To Show? [RUMORS] [SPOILERS]

Tonight, Castle is back with an all new episode, that may very well just explain where Castle was while he was missing. Speaking of missing, Becket actress, Stana Katic (Batman: Arkham City) could be missing from Castle Season 8 if ABC decides to renew the series. Katic has reportedly yet to resign her contract, while her co-star and on screen husband, Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog) has agreed to come back if the show is not canceled.

The official plot synopsis for tonight’s all new episode of Castle, titled “Sleeper,” reads:

“Castle has a perplexing recurring dream, which leads him and Beckett to investigate the two months he went missing. However, their search has dangerous repercussions.”

TVLine is reporting that, Stana Katic might not return to Castle Season 8  alongside creator Andrew W. Marlowe, executive producer Terri Edda Miller and showrunner David Amann/

Last year, Stana Katic, opened up to TV Line about if she will return or not: 

“Well, I think it really depends on…. I don’t think that a show should overstay its welcome….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, because I admire the way that they did that with The Wire, you know? Tell a great story and then go home and move onto something else. Don’t milk it ‘just because.’ So for 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, when we don’t have anywhere else to go, then it’s time for everyone to pack up and move onto the next thing. But I don’t know where it’s going to end.”

What do you think about the reports? Should Stana sign back on for Season 8? Can the show go on without her? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section at the bottom of the page.

Be sure to tune into the all new episode of Castle, tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern on ABC.
