12 TV Shows That Just Got Cancelled

Another surprise from ABC was the news that the long-running drama series Castle, which starred Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic as a novelist and a detective respectively, is coming to an end after 8 seasons.

Although Katic had been cruelly cut from the series, Fillion had agreed to return for Season 9, but now ABC have decided to cut its losses altogether.

Castle has a very loyal fanbase, and was generally a decent ratings performer, but the news isn't entirely unexpected: two different endings were filmed for Season 8 - one as a season finale, and the other as a series finale. Looks like they're going to have to go with the latter.
