Lots of issues and speculations were raised after the awesome season 4 finale of Castle. Now it is time to look forward and talk about the fifth season (although currently it isn’t renewed yet).
Here is an excerpt of the interview of creator Andrew Marlowe with TV Guide.
So, you finally put Castle and Beckett together. Why was now the time?
Marlowe: Ultimately, you get to a fork in the road. If we kept them apart any longer, say another season — after what Castle had put on the table at the end of last season — in my mind, that would have been the death of the series. Then, we would have just been being artificial. They would have become brother and sister, and then we’re just ignoring everything that had happened. There comes a point where you have to confront it. … We wanted to get the point where we resolved it and made a promise for next season that these two are going to have to be dealing with their feelings for one another.
Would you call them a couple at this point or is it not that defined?
Marlowe: I think those are all the questions the characters are going to be asking themselves, and that’s going to be part of the fun. When they wake up the next morning, are both of them still in the same place? And Beckett’s actually resigned from the force. So, what is she going to do with her life now? There’s all sorts of stuff to jump into next season.
Why does Beckett resign in that moment?
Marlowe: It’s a reflection on what she’s been doing with her life and how she’s defined herself. This echoes back to a conversation she had with her therapist in “Kill Shot” where she says, “I want to move past this.” [Does] letting go of her mother’s murder allow her to choose something else in life, where she’s not as driven to be a cop? Or will things happen that will force her to recommit to it?
For all the ‘shippers this finale will make happy, we’re sure there are some who fear this development will hurt the show. What’s your message to that group of fans?
Marlowe: Just because these characters have decided to take the next step in the relationship, it doesn’t make the relationship that much different. This is just a natural progression in a much longer story about these two characters. When two people have traits that are fundamentally challenging to the other, the comedy doesn’t go away. [We] have to deliver great fun shows where the characters are challenged in the relationship the same way they were before they slept together.
Have you heard for sure that the show has been renewed?
Marlowe: No official word. [ABC is] very supportive of us, but ultimately I don’t want to tempt the TV gods. Fingers crossed we’ll hear good news soon. … It would surprise me if we didn’t come back, but that being said, I’m sure people have been surprised before.
So, when’s the wedding?
Marlowe: [Laughs] Maybe in Season 8 if we’re lucky?
