The producers of the hit series "Castle" have remained tight lipped on the upcoming season. They've left fans eagerly waiting on the edges of their seats to see what Stana Katic decides in the wake of the ultimatum presented to her during the season 5 finale. She has two options: stay in New York City and continue working as a detective or make her way to Washington D.C. and make more money working for the FBI. The catch? She'd have to leave a marriage proposal behind.
Previous rumors all hint toward her moving to the D.C. squad and now more news from TV Line supports the theory.
"The show is casting a handful of new detectives who I'm guessing will be Beckett's new D.C.-based colleagues in the U.S. Attorney General's office. One of them - a character named Matt, who's intelligent and driven - will recur."
Katic, who plays Beckett on the show, also added her own two cents on the topic in a recent interview.
"If she drops the FBI gig, she's a loser," Katic said. "This is a modern woman's story, and I don't want to send the message that a woman has to choose love over a career. New York and D.C. are not that far apart, and Rick's a millionaire. They can travel. I think it would really be a big disservice to the character to create a job opportunity like this and let it peter out."
Well there you have it. All signs point towards Beckett exploring new horizons in D.C. this season. It will without doubt be one of the most intriguing seasons to date.
"Castle" will return to ABC in the fall.
