Stana Katic

Project: Castle

It was announced in April 2016 that Stana Katic would not be returning for season 9 of the romantic crime show Castle. A month later, the TV series was permanently canceled. ABC’s president Channing Dungey later opened up about their investment planning of not extending the show for season 9. Apparently, Katic’s contract was not even renewed because the studio already projected the end of the series.

Katic became a household name for her role as Kate Beckett in Castle. She won several People’s Choice Awards for her performance in the show. Following the series’ culmination, she was offered to play Carolina Baxter in the film Sister Cities and Rachel Rozman in another movie, The Rendezvous. In April 2015, Katic married Kris Brkljac, a business efficiency consultant, in a private wedding ceremony in Croatia, a day before her 37th birthday.
