Stana Katic's Det. Beckett character is not only signed, sealed and delivered to be back for Season 8 of "Castle," her actions could soon stand to hold consequences for a lot more people.

With the prospect of a political run for office teased during the Season 7 finale, CarterMatt wonders what could be for the officer after a colleague passionately encouraged her during the aforementioned season-ending episode not to allow anything to dim what could easily be her rising star.

The website goes on to describe her as "determined and solutions-oriented" on top of having a strong voice, on the surface all the makings for a successful politician.

After all the contract haggling and the lingering question of if she would even return to the cast next fall, for some "Castle" fans just knowing that Beckett will be returning is cause enough to be tuning in.

With she and "Castle" co-star Nathan Fillion's contracts expiring at the end of last season, some feared their partnership had run its course. 

Even Katic told TVLine back in November that it might be time for her to consider other opportunities.

"If the character is complete, if there is nowhere else to go creatively, then I think it's better to stop when you're on top," she said. "[F]or me it's about art over finance, and as long as we're creating something that is compelling and that has somewhere to go, then we're good to go. And when we find that we're not ... then it's time for everyone to pack up and move onto the next thing."

The last several months have marked a season of change for Katic, who Us Weekly reports married longtime boyfriend Kris Brkljac before family and friends in late April.
