ABC’s ‘Castle’ season 6 spoilers: ‘Revenge’ alum signs up as…

CastleThere is some more casting news coming up now courtesy of “Castle” season 6, and it comes at a time when we certainly need a distraction. We have the name now of someone who could definitely end up clashing with Castle and Beckett in a pretty significant way.

According to a new report from TVLine, Yancey Arias, whose credits include stints on “Revenge” and the short-lived “Knight Rider” re-make, has signed up to appear in the first two episodes of the new season as Carl Villante. What do we know about this guy right now? Simply that the character is in charge of some sort of investigative crime unit, and that there are going to be a bounty of fights that take place with both Castle and Beckett over the course of the show’s first two episodes.

Is this character going to be a nefarious foe that the crime team in DC is working on, or are you looking instead here at someone who is waging war in the Big Apple? Given that the story explicitly mentions that both Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic’s characters are involved, we wonder if this is a story that involves both departments, or if Beckett decides to stay in New York to be with her new fiance. (If, of course, she ends up saying yes.)

What do you think about this casting? Be sure to share some of your thoughts with a comment below! If you do want to check out some more news on the Nathan Fillion contract dispute that is inevitably dominating headlines a the moment, just be sure to head on over to the link here.

In case you have not heard any of the announcements just yet, the new season of “Castle” will premiere on ABC beginning on Monday, September 23 at 10:00 p.m. Eastern time.
