Is ABC’s ‘Castle’ season 7, episode 11 new tonight?
Tonight, ABC’s lineup is going to be very much in full holiday-season mode. There is going to be another new episode of their yuletide series “The Great Christmas Light Fight,” but there is not going to be any new episode of “Castle” coming on the network.
What’s the reason for that? While there are 23 episodes this season and still 13 to go, we feel like the network is not in any hurry to air them … and for good reason. First of all, the show wants to save many of these installments for after “The Bachelor,” and then after “Dancing with the Stars” to give as many lineups of all-new programming as humanly possible. The next new episode of “Castle” you will see is on Monday, January 12. You would have probably seen one before that, but it was delayed due to “The Bachelor” adopting a lengthy two-hour premiere.
So to help tide you over until next year, here are at least a few simple teases we can offer for what lies ahead.
1. A chance to really see Castle and Beckett adapt into being a married couple … with separate jobs. Remember, Castle is no longer with the police, and will try to go it alone as a private eye.
2. At some point, there will at least be more hints regarding Rick’s disappearance.
3. The February two-parter will have ties to the Kelly Nieman character, and therefore, possible ties to 3XK.
4. The show has to figure out what lies ahead for its long-term future soon; contracts for many of the actors are up, and that obviously impacts greatly if there will be a season 8.
