Nathan Fillion signs new contract to return, Stana Katic still negotiating

Nathan Fillion has renewed his contract to return to the ABC’s Castle season 8. Fillion's co-star Stana Katic is still in negotiations with the producers on renewing her contract. The season seven finale of Castle is due to air in the US next month on May 11.

In November, Katic shared her thoughts about the show's uncertain future.  "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," she told TV Line.

Executive producer David Amann, who previously replaced series creator Andrew Marlowe as show runner, is stepping down and there is no word yet on who will replace him. A search is now underway for a new showrunner.
