SPOILERS: Official Synopsis for Chuck Season 5 Premiere

Our first official synopsis of the season is here! NBC just released their teaser for Chuck episode 5.01, “Chuck vs. the Zoom”:

AS CHUCK BEGINS LIFE AS A SPY-FOR-HIRE, HE MUST ADJUST TO HIS NEW BUSINESS, NEW THREATS, AND A NEW INTERSECT — HIS BEST FRIEND MORGAN GRIMES – MARK HAMILL AND CRAIG KILBORN GUEST STAR—Without the Intersect in his head or the support of the CIA, the world of espionage is a much more dangerous place for Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi) and his team of freelance spies. To start, Carmichael Industries takes on a slick, rich thief named Jean Claude (guest star Mark Hamill), and a conniving investor, Roger Bale (guest star Craig Kilborn), who has stolen money from some of the world’s most dangerous people. Meanwhile, Morgan (Joshua Gomez) helps Chuck with a special surprise for Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski). Back in the Buy More, Jeff (Scot Krinsky) and Lester (Vik Sahay) have taken things to another level with their latest scheme. Sarah Lancaster and Adam Baldwin also star.

“Chuck vs. the Zoom” airs Friday, October 21 October 28 at 8/7c on NBC.

  1. Maybe a tad OT. But why does a billionaire with Sarah for a wife need to be a spy for excitment?

    It seems like the only way that makes sense to me is if he has a vendetta. But they don’t seem to be playing it that way.

    • Remember in 4.14 when they were going stir-crazy without a mission for the previous 3 weeks? I think they’re adrenaline junkies.

  2. I think it was said already in Honeymooners that they kind of need to be spies because it´s in their blood – literally for Chuck.

    And I can have the tiny little hope that the IS in Morgan´s head will go back to Chuck?

  3. NBC just threw out a slightly misleading press release regarding the Oct. 28 episode (Halloween-themed, yay!) It said Chuck’s debut (as well as that of Grimm) was that night, not the 21st.

    Perhaps the PR team over at NBC is too busy trying to furiously stoke some ratings fires under the rest of the schedule to remember the correct night of Chuck’s debut. Wouldn’t be the first mistake they’ve made.

  4. I have to address the elephant in the room that’s been bugging since I saw this: What’s the “suprise” for Sarah that Chuck might be working on?
    -The only thought I could come up with is a house- I encourage you you all to prove me wrong!

    • How is a house a bad thing? Whatever the surprise is, it sounds like a positive thing. It’s not like Chuck is going to surprise her with something harmful.

      • Its not necessarily a bad thing; I just like their crazy apartment better. I don’t want them to move out to the burbs like an old married couple. I’m sure the surprise will be something nice, and even if it’s a house I’m sure Sarah will like it.

  5. Wait, so now we have to wait another frakking week?! WHY? That’s so not right. First, they make us wait an extra month, and now they’re adding another week onto that? Not awesome dude… >:{

  6. Well at least you will get to see season 5 in the US. I live in the UK and the channel that aired season 3 and 4 dropped it and no-one else wants it. Come on it is a great show why should sky living drop it for some load of rubbish like britain’s next top model etc. (What a load of ****)

  7. This is such an amesome show and I just saw this……..idk what to think but WTF :/
