Brand new and exclusive to crime drama channel Alibi (sky 132, virgin 130), hit US police drama Castle stars Nathan Fillion (Desperate Housewives, Firefly, Serenity) as Richard Castle, a famous mystery novelist who helps the NYPD homicide department solve crimes.
Launching on Alibi on Wednesday 7th April (Wednesdays at 9pm) Castle follows the relationship between the wise cracking crime writer and Kate Beckett, the feisty NYPD Detective (Stana Katic).
Richard 'Rick' Castle and Detective Kate Beckett first cross paths when Castle is investigated by the NYPD when a murder victim matches the description of a victim in one of his best-selling novels.
At the time of the investigation Castle is suffering a bad case of writer’s block. Inspired by his run-in with the beautiful Beckett and through his connections with the Mayor he gets permission to hang out as a consultant at the precinct to do research for his next book.
Beckett is initially horrified by the idea of castle tagging along but as time progresses a chalk-and-cheese crime-solving duo are born.
Castle mixes classic amateur sleuthing and Moonlighting-style sexual chemistry with slick, 21st century police procedural drama.
