The 'Castle' star had been teasing the fans on the season renewal for a long while now with several posts on social media. She posted a photo of her with the writers last month.

The series is centered around Bryne as the FBI agent nearing the end of her suspension and caring for her son. But one of Nick Durand's (Patrick Heusinger) cases comes too close to home and threatens the family she is desperately trying to keep together. The journey takes her too far from Boston testing her like never before and forcing her to learn to trust again, to love again, and to finally realize her true place in the world.

Bell will portray 'Colin Dawkins', a polished and elegant professional fixer for an international criminal organization, who does any and all things with elegance and style. Simon will play 'Rowena Kincade', a former instructor at Quantico and career intelligence agent with MI5 and MI6.
