Here is another article about the 20 episodes. I think Nathan put something in his contract about no more than 20 episodes. Castle did 24 for many seasons and it was very tiring with not enough time off to recover I think.

I'm sorry but Boo-Hoo, poor Nathan. Those people make fortunes to do what they do. Suck it up Buttercup.  What about all of us who worked 40-60 hours a week in physical jobs for a hell of a lot less money. No sympathy here but JMO

Well, in Nathan's defense, we don't know for certain that is in his contract. And I'm with you geezer2008, I used to work a job that was frequently 10 to 12 plus hours a day, many times six days a week and I could get called in after hours and overnight. I think the most I made was 46K a year.

Of course, if I had the opportunity to work my dream job, dictate the hours, and make huge money, I can't say I wouldn't take advantage of it.

Why do you think it's in his contract that there are only 20 episodes? I know when he was on Castle, he didn't have enough time to really get to do other acting jobs so it wouldn't surprise me if there was something in it to allow him time for a movie offer or whatever might come up but I've never seen any details of his contract.

I have no idea what is in his contract. I am just guessing that if he could have any say be might opt for less episodes😊
