Castle Season 8 Episodes
Season 8 Episode Guide
22 Episodes 2015 - 2016
As the eighth and final season of this crime drama unfolds, Beckett (Stana Katic) becomes the captain of her precinct, and shortly afterward she goes missing. Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Alexis (Molly Quinn) enlist a British PI named Hayley Shipton (Toks Olagundoye) to assist the cops in searching for Beckett. Though she's eventually found, this isn't the last time someone disappears--both Beckett and Castle are abducted while on a murder case and forced to play mind games with their captors; and later Castle is kidnapped by a drug cartel and is asked to write a screenplay. Castle also gets to try his hand at acting when he goes undercover as a student, and Alexis gets the same opportunity on a different case. And throughout the season, Beckett looks for clues to an ongoing LokSat case she's determined to solve.
