ABC’s Castle will return from the holiday break a week later than planned. But that’s hardly the most interesting scheduling news at hand.
Season 8 will now resume on Monday, Feb. 8, TVLine has confirmed, with the competitive a cappella-themed episode “Tone Death.” (Filling the procedural’s time slot on Feb. 1 is a bonus edition of The Bachelor‘s live aftershow.)
To then get back on schedule, Castle will air on Sunday, Feb. 14 — Valentine’s Day — leading out of a special telecast of The Bachelor. That episode, “Witness for the Prosecution,” sends the series to the courtroom in a bit of a “first.”
Castle will then return to its usual time slot the following night, on Monday, Feb. 15, with “Dead Red” (guest-starring Spartacus‘ Nick Tarabay).
So, to be crystal clear: Three new episodes in eight days.
