Leaving the Castle Series

The castle series is one of the American hit show that has a cult following. It ran for eight seasons before ending on the 16 of May 2016. It’s not a new thing to find that favorite stars are killed off on a Tv show we love. Usually, there are various reasons for this which though hard on fans can be understood from a studio’s perspective. It could be a personal decision of a cast to leave citing reasons of unfulfillment or unhappiness with a project on which he or she is a part of. In this situation, such cast could request a termination of her contract on a mutual basis.

Also, a cast can be let go because of gross misconduct either in a personal life that is highly publicised and probably damaging to the show’s reputation, or such cast is unruly and hard to work with either with co-cast member or crew in general. On the other hand, a cast may be killed off if the there is a sudden budget constraint and the need to cut cost. Any of these instances can most definitely lead to the exit of a cast member even if such a cast is a loved figure in a series.

With Stana, however, her character was killed off after the eighth season due to financial reasons. The producers needed to cut costs and thought of her. Nevertheless, the show got canceled and couldn’t move on to the ninth season barely one month after Stana left the show.
