A different version of Kate Beckett is coming to “Castle.”

Confirmed by an ABC rep, actress Laura Prepon has been added to the cast of “Castle,” in which she will have the role of Natalie Gray. Gray is an actress who will portray Nikki Heat in the upcoming movie.

And as you fans should already know from the series, the movie will be adapted from Richard Castle’s fictional crime thrillers, while Nikki Heat is heavily based on Kate Beckett. That means, Prepon is going to be Beckett 2.0!

In the episode where Prepon will first appear as Gray, it will be shared to the audience that in order to get into the Nikki Heat character, Gray will travel to New York. She will be Castle and Beckett’s shadow during a case, which revolves around the murder of a millionaire matchmaker.

The former star of “That’s 70s Show” is tentatively slated to first appear in the Jan. 3 episode. So, don’t forget to mark your calendar, “Castle” fans!
