So Long, SOS! Castle Renewed for Third Season

ABC and the series' star confirm the 22-episode pickup

Stop the presses—or at the very least your eager-beaver voting to save this show—because ABC's white-hot Castle has been renewed!

"Have you heard? CASTLE has a third season pick up! Cheers to you all for making it happen," Nathan Fillion tweeted after learning the good news. And costar Jon Huertas echoed the sentiments, writing, "Full 22 eps! Congrats to fellow cast and crew..."

Maybe it's Nathan's smoldering stare, Stana Katic's quick wit or the steamin' hot chemistry between the two, but whatever they're doing over there is working. Did you see last night's episode?!

After a not so stellar start in early 2009, Castle has beaten the odds and more than found it footing, with an audience that appears to be growing each week (it pulled in 14.5 million viewers last night!). While all you Castle fans do a little happy dance about it's 22-episode third season, we'll provide some parting wisdom: If you're not watching Castle, you should. Just stick around after your weekly dose of Dancing With the Stars.
