"At the end of the day, we didn't feel that even though 'Castle' and 'Nashville' were wonderful shows and good performers for a long time, the future for us didn't lie in those shows," Hollywood Reporter quoted Dungey as saying. She emphasized that Lionsgate TV and ABC Studios were looking for the best creative and financial ways for the two shows to work.
According to Dungey, decisions came down to the wire after they looked at ratings new development and their own finances and looking at. She acknowledged that it was difficult to weigh and measure different things.
