Castle - Derrick Storm novels being developed into a show

Aug 21, 2014

Share on Reddit
ABC is in the early stages of developing a drama series based on the “Derrick Storm” series of mystery novels penned by Richard Castle, the author played by Nathan Fillion in the Alphabet’s drama “Castle.”

Drama vet Gregory Poirier is writing the pilot for ABC Studios and will exec produce with “Castle” creator/exec producer Andrew Marlowe and Terri Edda Miller.

The “Derrick Storm” novels that have been referenced on “Castle” have been published in real life under the name of Richard Castle. The Derrick Storm character is a spy who gets called on by the CIA for mysterious missions. The project is not envisioned as a “Castle” spinoff, however.

  1. Well that is a level of meta I was unprepared for. Weird.

  2. That's actually pretty neat. I'd watch it. Oh! You can have Castle mention the TV show adaptation of his books! That would be like super-meta!

  3. I agree. I never would have seen that coming, but if done right it could be pretty cool.

  4. I think an episode that crossed into the Nikki Heat world would be epic!

  5. Jee, ABC must be hanging out for ideas.

  6. Kinda meta....but I like it.


    Altough I would have preferred it to go down that route after Castle ended and having Fillion star as Derrick Storm

    Especially if they got Stana Katic to guest star.

  8. I'd actually prefer this show to be completely separate from both Castle and Beckett. Besides if anything, I'd prefer to see Nathan, his Castle character is Storm's creator, after-all.

  9. Especially since Derrick Storm is only ruggedly handsome because Castle is...

  10. Or they see a cash cow in AWM since his current project is so successful, kind of like Shonda and their new TGIT.

  11. First thought: nobody would have ever bought any of the DS novels or books without Castle. I must admit I haven't read any of them so they can be the paramount of thrillers, beating John LeCarre, but somehow I doubt it in case of a shadow writer's merchandise book. (Yes, I have prejudices.) So if ABC thinks that just their loose connection with another show and AM's name on the brand would be enough - well they must be very desperate to find any idea. Or they hope they will hit the casting jackpot again and have a lead who can bring the show on his (their?) shoulder.


    I don't wish any of the Castle cast to be stuck into this.

  12. Did ABC not learn from Once Upon a Time in Wonderland? Please don't ruin one of the best show's you have left to do this!

  13. If Forever works out on Tuesdays, this project is dead.

  14. maybe a limited series would work.......long term would be hard to do

  15. I have read the Novels. I think it's a great idea. I will watch the show.

  16. So if this happens Marlowe will have created a character in a show, who created a character in a book, which became an actual book, which becomes another actual show... Yeah. That's meta.

  17. I like the idea, so I would definetly watch it! I never pictured DS or NH looking like Castle and Beckett, so for me it would 2 entirely different shows.

  18. Do you know if the novels are written by a single writer or several? I haven't been brave enough to read them. ABC did the same thing with a novel written by a character on one of their soap operas. I read that one and it was readable...but just chickened out with the Richard Castle books.

  19. Oh wow that never happens! That's kind of neat. I hope it works out! I may even watch! :)

  20. Hmmm all the more reasons to think Castle is ending this season...

    ReplyDelete
  21. No kidding. A fictional character created by another fictional character gets a very real TV deal. Nutty.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Interesting idea, but I think Marlowe would prefer being paid for two series as opposed to one. The longer they both are on the air waves the bigger his check.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'd watch it seems, like it's going to be good, as long as he's ruggedly handsome!!!

  24. - Oh, they remade "Fame" and "A Christmas Carol."
    - Has Hollywood totally run out of ideas?
    - Well, they just optioned, uh, "Asteroids" the video game. So my guess is yes. But Ryan Reynolds is playing the wee triangle, and he's good.



    (Castle and Martha in Castle 2x01 about the lack of creative ideas in Hollywood. The writing on the wall...)

  25. When I saw the title, for some reason I thought that this would be a storyline in the new season where a network adapts the books into a show (like when a studio tried to make a Nikki Heat movie).

  26. I read the first chapter of the Nikki Heat novels and it wasn't bad.
