January 7, 2016


A "Firefly" reunion is taking flight on "Castle".

Summer Glau has signed on to guest-star opposite her onetime Serenity captain Nathan Fillion in a spring episode of the ABC drama, TVLine has learned exclusively.



Glau will play Kendall Frost, a provocative private detective in Los Angeles who who competes with — you guessed it — Castle to solve a deadly mystery. She will appear in this season’s 14th episode.

Glau isn't the first "Firefly" alum to appear on "Castle" as Adam Baldwin and Gina Torres have also popped up on the show, with the former appearing for the second time this past fall.



"Castle" resumes its current eighth season on Monday, Feb. 1.

Summer Glau

There's no power in the 'verse that can stop Summer Glau…with the possible exception of Hollywood casting directors. She made a name for herself in sci-fi circles by playing River Tam, the monosyllabic, super-powered psychic suffering from PTSD in*Firefly and Serenity, and she's kept busy over the past few years by appearing in a wide array of genre shows, from Arrow to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

But despite her dancing skills, martial arts prowess, and sci-fi appeal, Glau hasn't gotten much work lately. Her last gig was in 2016, playing in an episode of Castle, a role that reunited Glau with her old Firefly captain, Nathan Fillion; since then, she hasn't appeared in a single film or TV show. Of course, Glau recently had a little girl, which might explain her absence from the spotlight. After all, she generally takes action roles, and that's difficult to do when you're pregnant. Now that she's given birth, here's hoping she'll return soon—if casting directors continue to keep her on the sidelines, we've seen what Glau can do when she gets mad.
