The fall finale of ABC's Castle will end on a positive note, according to the new showrunners.

Are Rick's Fears About His And Kate's Separation Less Intense Now On 'Castle'?

New Castle showrunners Alexi Hawley and Terence Paul Winter are promising that the fall finale of the show's current eighth season will conclude positively. Fans have been through a lot this season after Beckett (Stana Katic) chose to temporarily separate from Castle (Nathan Fillion), so this must be good news.

The bosses spoke with Entertainment Weekly in a new report posted Monday that teases what's ahead in the fall finale, intriguingly titled Mr. and Mrs. Castle.

"As we started to talk about what our fall finale would be and how we would end it, we didn't want to do a cliff-hanger because we kind of did that in the first two episodes, so we wanted to drive towards something that made you excited to come back but also was sort of the end of the first chapter of this Castle season," Hawley explained. "So we wanted to get to a place where this conflict between Castle and Beckett came a little bit to a head and do it in a fun way in the same way that that movie [Mr. and Mrs. Smith] dealt with the troubles inside a marriage and professional troubles came face to face in a really dynamic way."

Winter added that this continues their promise of switching up "the dynamic of the show" and "this is the end of the first evolution of what this journey's going to be and we're ending it with a promise of what's to come in the new year. People, I believe, are going to be very excited because I know I'm excited about what the New Year's going to bring."

Hawley admitted that they were both "really excited" regarding how the first portion of the season has gone so far, adding, "we really feel like we're ending our fall finale in a really dynamic, really positive way and we can't wait for people to see it."

So will Castle and Beckett get back together or at least show the promise of doing so? Many fans certainly hope this is the case, especially those who thought the separation was a bad idea in the first place.

Castle airs Mondays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
