'Castle' scores big ratings, gets renewed for 3rd season

ABC has renewed 'Castle' for a 3rd season, less than 24 hours after the show delivered it's best ratings of the season.  The renewal was for a full season of 22 episodes.

Castle himself, Nathan Fillion, tweeted about it thanking the fans, "Cheers to you all for making it happen.”

Monday night’s conclusion of ‘Castle’s two-parter guest-starring Dana Delany averaged 14.5 million total viewers, eclipsing last week’s all-time high by 12 percent.

It also marked the second straight week that the series topped the 10 o’clock hour in both total viewers and performance in the coveted 18-to-49 demo. Last time around, it even bested an original episode of time-slot powerhouse ‘CSI: Miami.’

Most remarkably, this week’s ‘Castle’ gave ABC its biggest audience in the Mondays-at-10 slot since, believe it or not, April 22, 1996.
