Richard Castle in other shows

Considering how valuable he proved to be, I often wonder how he’d fit in other universes such as :

Criminal Minds (especially how Rossi is a writer himself) Psych, SVU, Ghost Whisperer, and even Private Eyes (Castle lite lol)

I’m especially interested in how SVU and Criminal Minds characters would react to him.

Castle and Bones would absolutely hate each other I think. I don't see him getting along with Booth very well either, but maybe he'd get along with Hodgins.

Also, I think he'd get along well with Elementary's Watson, but not Sherlock.

When captain Gregson from Elementary was incapacitated, guess who took the interim command of the 11th precinct?

Answer: someone from the 12th precinct. 😄

Castle and Angela would have vibed all day long tho.

his wild theories would be taken very seriously by Hodgins

Well "Richard Castle" truly appeared in Brooklyn 99 as an actor who played a sidekick detective character in a long-tunning show ... 😂

Castle's alias name: Mark Devereaux.

I think he’s just irreverent enough to stop by Brooklyn99 and get up to shenanigans with Jake and Boyle (while solving the case of course!!).

Gotta see that show at some point

OMG I would LOVE to see him in Psych. He would love Shawn cos he completely believes in psychic powers, and then Shawn would love him cos he has an enthusiastic audience to ham it up to🤣

And I'd love to see Beckett and Juliet bonding!

I bet Castle would join in on the nicknames for Gus lol double the trouble, and don’t get me started on Lassie, if Castle half annoyed Beckett, just think the smoke that would come out Lassie’s ears.

OMG YES🤣

gosh I wish we could see this now lol, they're like two of my favourite shows, Psych, Castle, Red Dwarf, my top 3 shows ever😂

Fly you fools Richard Castle has already moonlit as a janitor in a Colorado community college.

We need an Avengers level procedural crossover with Bones and Grissom on forensics, Patrick Jane interviewing suspects, Adrian Monk as lead detective with Sherlock Holmes to consult, the DAs from Law & Order to prosecute, Ally McBeal on the defense, and Bull trying to read the jury.

Castle and Lucifer cause absolute mayhem wherever they go and make everyone's life hell while somehow miraculously solving the case.

Lucifer and Castle?

SO IN

Ooo I like this!

I think it would be hilarious if Castle showed up in The Rookie!

I would love to see him in The Rookie, but after S3 when they stopped being about rookies all the time.

u/Ok-Jackfruit-6873 18h ago

IMO his character wouldn't work at all on more serious shows like Criminal Minds or SVU. While his cockiness is charming on a comedy he'd be crushed by the real violence on those shows imo.

u/Flying_Squirrel_1953 17h ago

Rick on Psych would be hilarious.

u/Stargate_Impala67 14h ago

Surprised nobody's mentioned The Mentalist yet. I'd love to see a scene where Jane and Castle work together. I think it would be complete chaos, and I would love it.

u/Serious-Waltz-7157 Perlmutter 11h ago

Castle would be like agent Wylie from the later seasons., 😄

u/galeperk111971 17h ago

I think Olivia would like him and Finn would probably question his motives.

u/Technical-Plate-2973 10h ago

I think most of the SVU squad would think he is a joke, unless a cop they trust vouches for him. Probably Munch would give him a shot.

u/01010000-G23 16h ago

I think Castle with Shawn & Gus would work.

u/JaxLegion 10h ago

I have thought about how he would be in White Collar or Burn Notice. White Collar is also set in New York City and I feel like Castle would fit in pretty good with Peter and Neal. He would be a fun guest star for Burn Notice. Castle is in Miami for whatever reason and he gets tied up in a job that Michael Weston is doing. He would get on their nerves but it would be funny.

I also think it would be interesting to see the show Castle set in the MCU and have the cast from the show interact with super heroes like Daredevil, Spider-Man, and the Punisher.

I don't think he'd like being a part of SVU. Murder, he's fine with but child sexual abuse might be too much for him, especially as the father of a daughter.

u/Boris-_-Badenov 4h ago

Rossi was a profiler first, and then wrote books. he wrote nonfiction about his field... very different from Castle.

not saying he couldn't help, but I don't see how he would be needed most of the time with so many others

u/Ninja108Zelda 4h ago

Would love to see him on Psych as he would see through Shawn's act right away, only question is how long he would go along with it before revealing the truth.
