Yahoo Finance Castle star Stana Katic confirms her latest TV series Absentia has ended
Castle star Stana Katic has confirmed the fate of her show Absentia after its third season.
Originally, the Amazon Prime Video show centred around an FBI agent who was declared dead in absentia. Emily Byrne (played by Katic) had to fight for her family, identity and survival when she became the prime suspect in a string of murders.
Since then, Absentia has taken the story in many different strands while developing Emily's character.
Now, Katic has announced that the show will not have a fourth season and shared a thoughtful message with her followers on social media.

Her Instagram post reads: "When they asked me in January 2017 if I was ready to spend 3 years in Bulgaria shooting a cable TV series, I had no idea what I was in for. I could never have imagined the creative partnerships and the friendships that would form and enrich my life.
"Three Seasons was the perfect amount of space for a beautiful, complicated and wonderfully fulfilling journey. We took our protagonist on the path of victim to survivor to … empowered architect of her own future, which is a journey I hope we can all have after this confounding year.
"And although we've danced with the idea of continuing the tale, Absentia was always meant to be only 3 seasons, & I couldn't think of a better note to end on… for any person on this planet, but especially Emily and her loved ones."
Katic added that she was proud of the show's team who managed to bring the project to life.

"A big shout-out to all of our stellar directors, to exec producer, Julie Glucksman, and to our showrunner Will Pascoe. You all led with heart and passion; and Will, I sincerely hope the studio will take you up on your offer to pen a graphic novel version of Absentia," she added.
"To our audience, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining us on this special journey. It is because of YOU that our show was a great success for its broadcasters. It's because of YOU that we get to entertain you and be storytellers. And whatever projects this tribe of rebel storytellers goes to next, I hope you'll follow them all."
Katic ended the message by thanking the Absentia cast and crew, referring to them as "the best in the business".
Absentia is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video now.
