"Castle" season 7 returns with new episodes on January 12 on ABC.

New reports suggest that the series will continue a couple of months after episode 10. Fans of the hit TV show can also expect a different Castle as he will be taking a break cracking cases with his sweetheart Beckett, and start his private investigator gig.

Episode 11 will consequently be entitled "Castle P.I."

Showrunner David Amman dished on Castle's new job in an interview with TV Guide."We thought it would give us some opportunities to upset the apple cart a little bit in terms of the Castle-Beckett professional relationship," he said. "We were looking for an interesting way to have Castle get into trouble. He kind of operated outside the lines in Episode 10, so we felt that like it was justified that he would be punished for that."

Meanwhile, Stana Katic who plays Beckett on the show indulged fans to a little Twitter Q&A. According to International Business Times,Stana Katic asked the fans on Twitter if they are enjoying the current season. 'Enjoying (Castle) s7? We wrap up 713 & start 714 tomorrow,' the actress tweeted, encouraging the fans to respond. The series was taking a 5-week break, so fans were eager to raise their questions."

"One fan asked if Castle Season 7 Episodes 13 and 14 make up a 2-parter special. Stana gave an affirmative response. Another fan asked how many episodes are there this season. Stana said 23."
