The news comes as the network opted to pass on the back-nine order for Shonda Rhimes' Grey's Anatomy spinoff Private Practice, bringing an end to the Kate Walsh medical drama after its current sixth season.
With the orders, Grey's Anatomy, Modern Family and The Middle's respective seasons will run for 24 episodes, while Castle tallies 23.
