Castle's first Season 7 twist is a big one.
Creator Andrew W. Marlowe will pass the showrunner torch to executive producer David Amann for the upcoming season, TVGuide.com has learned. Although Amann will be the primary showrunner, Marlowe will maintain a day-to-day presence on the show while also developing new projects as part of his overall deal with ABC Studios.
"Over the past four seasons, David has proven himself to be a tremendous leader and a great steward of our show's unique voice," Marlowe said in a statement. "I'm excited to continue our creative collaboration as he assumes his new responsibilities."
The transition comes at a crucial point for the ABC procedural drama. On the Season 6 finale (watch it here), longtime lovebirds Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) had their wedding day ruined when Castle was run off the road by a mysterious person driving an SVU. The closing shot featured Castle's car in flames, while the whereabouts of the mystery writer were unknown.
