Exclusive: Nathan Fillion's Castle Picked Up to Series by ABC

Breaking! Cupid and Castle Picked Up

Yay! Nathan Fillion is heading back to series television! I've just gotten confirmation that ABC has picked up Nathan's pilot, Castle.

Written by Andrew Marlowe (the guy behind a little movie called Air Force One), Castle is the story of a mystery writer who advises the New York City police on particularly difficult cases. (Sort of like how after 9/11 the feds asked screenwriters to come up with the craziest terrorist scenarios they could think of, in hopes of being better equipped to deal with the possibilities.)

There's also a very credible report that Rob Thomas' Cupid do-over has been picked up to series as well. More on that as soon as I get it!

More Captain Mal Reynolds and quite possibly more Rob Thomas? Today is a very good day for TV!
