Another big casting announcement for Chuck season 2! Our buddy Michael Ausiello just broke the news that Jordana Brewster has signed on to Chuck for a minimum three-episode arc, playing none other than Jill Roberts, Chuck’s college girlfriend. As we learned in season 1, Jill dumped Chuck for Bryce Larkin after Chuck was expelled from Stanford for cheating.
Josh Schwartz had this to say about bringing Jill into the mix this season: “[Chuck] always has imagined seeing her again, and being able to impress her with all he’s accomplished. Unfortunately, when he does meet her, he’s doing a computer install and she’s a brilliant, successful, beautiful doctor working to create antibodies to horrible diseases.
“The part is funny, romantic, there’s action and cool twists and emotional drama,” Schwartz continues. “It’s the juiciest arc we’ve done yet and one that ties very deeply into the mythology of the show and the character of Chuck.”
Jill arrives in episode 2.06 (spoilers) and it looks like she’ll be sticking around for a while. That should make the Chuck/Sarah relationship pretty interesting…
