Wildly famous mystery novelist Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) is bored with
his own success. Then he learns that a real-world copycat killer has started
staging murder scenes depicted in his novels. Castle is questioned by NYPD
Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), a bright and aggressive detective who
keeps her investigations under tight rein. Though they instantly clash, sparks
of another sort also begin to fly, leading both to danger and a hint of romance
as Castle steps in to help find the killer. And once that case is solved, he and
Beckett build on their new relationship as they look to solve more strange
homicides in New York - as much fun as one can have with death and murder.
Castle is kept grounded by his Broadway diva mother, Martha Rodgers (Susan
Sullivan), and quick-witted teenage daughter Alexis (Molly Quinn). Also starring
in the series are Ruben Santiago-Hudson as NYPD Captain Roy Montgomery, Tamala
Jones as Medical Examiner Lanie Parish, Jon Huertas as NYPD Detective Javier
Esposito and Seamus Dever as NYPD Detective Kevin Ryan.
"Castle" is produced by ABC Studios. Andrew Marlowe (writer, "Air Force One")
serves as executive producer/writer, along with executive producers Armyan
Bernstein, Barry Schindel, Rob Bowman (who also directed the pilot) and Laurie
Zaks.
After Oceanic Air flight 815 tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a Pacific
island, its survivors were forced to find inner strength they never knew they
had in order to survive. But they discovered that the island holds many secrets,
including a mysterious smoke monster, polar bears, a strange French woman and
another group of island residents known as "The Others." The survivors have also
found signs of those who came to the island before them, including a 19th
century sailing ship called The Black Rock, the remains of an ancient statue, as
well as bunkers belonging to the Dharma Initiative -- a group of scientific
researchers who inhabited the island in the recent past.
As the second part of Season Three opens, Jack seems to have gained the upper
hand, as Ben's life literally rests in his hands. His demands are simple --
release Kate and Sawyer as prisoners of "The Others," let them safely return to
the island and he'll stay behind. But does Jack have a hidden agenda? Kate
finally made her romantic decision between Jack and Sawyer by choosing the
smitten con man -- but were her feelings for him genuine? Juliet -- one of "The
Others" -- makes a shocking decision that could endanger her standing with her
people. After the death of Eko, Locke's obsession to uncover the secrets of the
island leads Sayid to believe that his intentions may not be in the best
interests of his fellow survivors. Sun and Jin will continue to celebrate their
pregnancy -- but is the child really Jin's?
Just as Charlie returns into the good graces of Claire and her baby, Aaron,
Desmond drops a bombshell on him that could change the course of his life
forever. After the hatch imploded and the electromagnetic charge was expelled,
questions arise as to what effects it had on the island -- as well as the
outside world. Will Penny Widmore find the island and her long, lost love,
Desmond, and can the survivors find a way to interact with the outside world?
The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must continue to work
together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain if they want to stay alive.
But as they have discovered during their 70-plus days on the island, danger and
mystery loom behind every corner, and those they thought could be trusted may
turn against them. Even heroes have secrets.
