Castle‘s behind-the-scenes shuffle isn’t over just yet.
Not 24 hours after it was announced that longtime Castle scribe Terence Paul Winter was stepping up as showrunner for the recently ordered Season 8, TVLine has confirmed that Castle alum Alexi Hawley is returning to the ABC drama, as co-showrunner — the same position he just got done filling on Fox’s freshly snuffed The Following.

THR has changed the article: deleted the info about the new showrunner and changed the contract negotiation with Stana from done to expected.
The procedural starring Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic will be back for its eighth season. Fillion inked a new deal to return, and Katic — sources tell THR — is expected to close a new pact as well. Produced in-house by ABC Studios, Castle has been a sturdy performer for ABC on Mondays at 10 p.m. and still pulls 12.7 million viewers on a weekly basis. Rumors about the future of the series have swirled of late, with sources telling THR that the veteran drama from Andrew Marlowe could return for an abbreviated final season. While it's unclear if season eight will be Castle's last one thing is certain: showrunner David Amann, who took over for Marlowe in season seven, has exited.

The procedural starring Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic will be back for its eighth season after the duo both inked new deals to return. While it's unclear if season eight will be Castle's last one thing is certain: showrunner David Amann, who took over for Marlowe in season seven, has exited. Procedural vet Barry Schindel (CAA), who returns to the drama after a brief run in 2009 and whose credits include Numbers, Intelligence, Unforgettable and Law & Order, will replace Amann and take over as show runner.
