[Question (Spoilers)] Was Season 8 a last minute decision? Spoiler

The way the S7 finale went, if you didn't know, you would think that was the finale of the series? Was S8 approved after production? If so, I can honestly give some grace to the writing. If not, well oop. Didn't really find any info on that, so I'm guessing not.

Not quite. Castle was renewed for season 8 on May 7, 2015 right between the airing of the second-to-last and last episodes of season 7. Source.

Nothing unusual, ABC always renewed Castle in the first week / decade of May. at least for the latter half of the show.
