The wait it nearly over, Castle Fanatics.

In one week, ABC will air "Castle P.I," the 2015 premiere of this ABC drama that will find Castle not working at the 12th precinct for a (major) change.

How will the character and the series adjust?

I've already seen the episode and (SPOILER WARNING!), I've posted a number of teases and tidbits below...

If you liked Castle Season 2 Episode 2, "The Double Down" you'll probably enjoy "Castle P.I."
Yes, there's been a time jump of several weeks where Castle has been home, mostly in his pj's.
Despite working on his own as a Private Investigator, half the fun is watching Castle get creative in order to work with Beckett.
Not only does Castle have to work around Capt. Gates orders that there be no sharing of information, Perlmutter makes things even more difficult.
There's an accusation of "cheating" which is actually quite funny.
I experienced two real laugh out loud moments and lots of goofy smiles during this episode.
Kate gives Rick a gift that only Richard Castle could make sexy.

Does Castle have a shot at solving his first case before the team at the 12th? Well, as Ryan says, he got Beckett to marry him so pretty much anything is possible.

You won't want to miss Castle Season 7 Episode 11, "Castle P.I." scheduled to air Monday, January 12 on ABC at 10/9c.

And if you need to catch up, you can watch Castle online any time here at TV Fanatic.
