ABC mystery, crime and police procedural drama "Castle" will be returning with all-new episodes in Season 8. As the show is nearing its season premiere on TV, details about its first episode have been made known to the public.
"Castle" Season 8 premiere episode will be titled, "XY," according to Carter Matt. While the official synopsis for the first episode of the upcoming season has not yet been released, several fans started airing their theories on the said title.
A user named "Cheryl Mcpherson" commented: "I think that xy could mean a baby for rick and kate." Another user seemingly shared the same thoughts and added that if Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) will give birth to a baby in Season 8, then it would also mean the end of the series based on show creator Andrew Marlowe's previous statements.
Meanwhile, another interesting rumor on the upcoming season of "Castle" claims that Rick Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Detective Kate Beckett are headed for a breakup.
A blind item was released on Tuesday, hinting that a couple from a TV series will be breaking up in the upcoming season, Enstarz cited. The report cited additional clues about the blind item: the show runs on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox or The CW; series is "aging;" and the showrunners are preparing themselves for backlash from fans.
Fans immediately speculated that Rick and Beckett or the well-loved "Caskett" team are the ones being mentioned in the blind item. The fans' speculations grew even more following reports that a new character named Hayley will be spending a lot of time with Rick.
"Castle" Season 8 premieres on Monday, Sept. 21 on ABC.
