When viewers first met Richard Castle — a famous mystery novelist and divorced father raising his teenage daughter, while being kept grounded by his Broadway diva mother — he was creatively blocked. But when the NYPD questioned him in connection with a series of murders staged to imitate crime scenes from his books, he found inspiration in NYPD Detective Kate Beckett, a bright and aggressive homicide detective with a fascination for odd and offbeat cases stemming from the years-old unsolved murder of her own mother. Though they instantly clashed, sparks of another sort began to fly, leading both to danger and a hint of romance as Castle stepped in to help find the copycat killer. Once that initial case was solved, he and Beckett continued to investigate strange homicides in New York, combining his writer intuition and Beckett's creative detective work. With Beckett as his muse, Castle used his newfound experience in the field as fodder for his best-selling novel last season, "Heat Wave."
During "Castle" Season 2, Castle and Beckett's relationship grew stronger as they dodged bullets, captured killers, and solved numerous murder cases in their unorthodox partnership. But by the season two finale, Beckett's new relationship with a robbery detective had pushed Castle away, forcing them both to confront their feelings. When Castle left to finish writing his second Nikki Heat novel, "Naked Heat" (due out September 28), Beckett had to watch him walk away, unable to express her true feelings and unsure whether he would return to the precinct ...
The "Castle" cast includes Nathan Fillion as Richard Castle, Stana Katic as Detective Kate Beckett, Ruben Santiago-Hudson as NYPD Captain Roy Montgomery, Tamala Jones as Medical Examiner Lanie Parish, Jon Huertas as NYPD Detective Javier Esposito, Seamus Dever as NYPD Detective Kevin Ryan, Molly Quinn as Alexis Castle, with Susan Sullivan as Martha Rodgers.

Season 2
"Castle" Season 2 revolves around Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion), a famous mystery novelist and divorced father raising his teenage daughter (Molly Quinn as Alexis), while being kept grounded by his Broadway diva mother (Susan Sullivan as Martha Rodgers). When viewers first met Castle, he was creatively blocked. But when the NYPD questioned him in connection with a series of murders staged to imitate crime scenes from his books, Castle found inspiration in the form of Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), a bright and aggressive homicide detective with a fascination for odd and offbeat cases — a fascination stemming from the years-old unsolved murder of her own mother. Though Castle and Beckett instantly clashed, sparks of another sort also began to fly, leading both to danger and a hint of romance, as Castle stepped in to help find the copycat killer. Once that initial case was solved, the two built on their new relationship, investigating more strange homicides in New York and combining Castle's writer intuition and Beckett's creative detective work. With Beckett as his muse, Castle has used his newfound experience in the field as fodder for his latest and soon-to-be-published bestseller, Heat Wave. But in the season finale, Castle, against Beckett's direct order to stay out of her mom's case, unearthed information about that homicide that may end their relationship forever.
As Season 2 begins, Castle is wrestling with how to repair his relationship with Beckett, while struggling to finish Heat Wave. But circumstances force the pair back together to investigate the mysterious murder of a man found dead, tangled in the limbs of a tree. Though their relationship remains rocky, their passion for cracking cases keeps their collaboration cooking. When all is said and done, can Beckett forgive Castle for poking into her past? And can Castle conquer his writer's block long enough to finish his book before its publication deadline?

And once that case is solved, he and Beckett build upon their new relationship as they look to solve strange homicides in New York — as much fun as one can have with death & murder.
