NBC Renews Chuck for Season 4!

Rejoice, Chuck fans – according to Deadline Hollywood (a reliable enough source that we’re ready to post this article we’ve had ready since February), NBC has seen the light and renewed Chuck for a fourth season!

Update 8:45PM: Ausiello is giving a (qualified) confirmation.

Update 8:55PM: Ausiello says the renewal is for 13 episodes to start with, option to pick up the back 9.

Update 9:10PM: The Live Feed is now confirming the renewal for season 4. THR also confirms that ABC has picked up V for another season, currently helmed by former Chuck producer Scott Rosenbaum.

Update 05.14.10: Josh Schwartz let the masses know via Twitter that he got the official call from NBC this morning.

Update 05.14.10: NBC’s official press release announcing the return of Chuck! Timeslot/episode order not yet revealed.

Update 05.16.10: The Live Feed crashed NBC’s tech rehearsal and got the scoop on the network’s schedule to be announced later today. At this point, Chuck is set to return this fall, Mondays at 8/7c, followed by new series The Event and Chase. NBC is touting Mondays as “action-adventure night”.

Update 05.16.10: NBC confirms the schedule noted above: Chuck returns Mondays at 8/7c this fall!

Update 07.15.10: NBC just released their fall premiere dates, and contrary to previous rumors, Chuck season 4 is confirmed to debut on Monday, September 20 at 8/7c.  See you there!

Is this the first time a show saved by a fan campaign was renewed for an additional season? I think it is. Pat yourselves on the back, Chucksters, and three cheers for Chuck!

  15. Awesome news!!! I’m so excited and happy and every other good emotion! 🙂 If it’s coming back in the fall, doesn’t that mean that they have to start shooting again soon? If I remember right, when they started to shoot for this season they started a few weeks after ComicCon. I sure hope they all got their rest cause if they have to start soon, they are going to need it!

    AWESOME! But truly speaking, I never really worried that the show could be cancelled because this would have been absurd. So deep inside I knew that it was already renewed.
    I personally think we can make even more than seven seasons.
    Best series in the wórld 🙂

  17. OMG Now i’m happy, the chuck flash mob and other things was good for this final decision!!

  18. Yay!!! I’ve never been soooooooo happy. Looking forward to S4 with Zac, Adam and Yvonne.
    I’m just a bit concerned how it’s going to affect Yvonne since she’s in Australia filming a movie. CHUCK won’t be ‘complete’ without Sarah.

    • No worries. She’ll be finished filming the movie well before Chuck goes back into production.

  19. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAAAAAAA CHUCK’S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. YES!!!!! Thank you NBC!!! and thanks to everyone that helped support CHUCK!

  21. So happy right now. But this excites me even more of whats gonna happen in the season 3 finale :)……….Congrats and many thanks to the fans and NBC too lol

  22. go go go chuck go go go whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ı love you yvonne

  30. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 Just made my week.

  31. WOOT WOOT Way to go Chucksters. 🙂

  32. Thanks again Mel, Liz, Gray, Lou and all the others at Chucktv.net! You guys really helped to lead the charge! I’ve read several articles lately that suggest that NBC made its decision based on the amount of fan involvement on the Internet, Twitter and Facebook and how this may be the future of television advertising. It nice to know that Chuck fans can make a difference!

  33. AWsome-O OH YEA

  34. Yaaay!
    Chuck totally deserves it! I’m so happy 🙂

  35. Great news! NBC made an official press release
    http://www.nbc.com/news/2010/05/14/nbc-adds-to-new-scripted-lineup-with-four-new-series—-the-cape-outlaw-harrys-law-and-friends-with/
    They just don’t specify if it’s for 13 episodes or more and if Chuck will be in the automn schedule, but I guess we’ll know about all this on sunday!
    Congrats to all chuck fan!

  36. While I am thrilled beyond words for the announcement, I did see one bit of concerning news. Ali Adler (our favorite writer and producer) is leaving the show for another opportunity. Combine that with Scott Rosenbaum and Matt Miller leaving this year, and that’s a lot of creative talent going elsewhere.

    Hopefully, Schwartz and Fedak will be able to fill the vacancies with other talented writers like Judkins and LeFranc.

  37. Woohoo!!!!! GO CHUCK!!!!!! GO SEASON 4!!!

  38. Here’s a blip from the NBC website:
    Now in its third season that concludes with a two-hour season finale on Monday, May 24 (8-10 p.m. ET), “Chuck” is averaging a 2.4 rating, 6 share in adults 18-49 and 6.6 million viewers overall. “Chuck’s” ratings increase significantly when all time-shifted viewing is added to its results, growing this season by an average of 22 percent in its 18-49 rating and more than 1.1 million persons in total viewers when going from its “live plus same day” to its “live plus seven day” results from Nielsen Media Research.

  39. OMG!!! Chuck is renewed!!!!! Awesome job guys!

  40. This is awesome! My birthday is comin’ up (it’s in May), & all I’ve been able to think about for a birthday gift is the hope that Chuck would get renewed for a 4th season. Looks like I got my birthday wish. This ‘Chuck’ news makes me very happy. 🙂

  41. Never underestimate the masters of TV shows!!! The best of the bests makes the biggest return history will know!!! Yipikayai 😉

  42. HOOOOOOOOOOOO HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Go TEAM BARTOWSKI! more of CHUCK AND SARAH!

  43. hi!
    i just read the oficial note from nbc and blows my mind!
    always worry about the ratings by each episode, but i never thought about the averaging of the season.
    this definilly helps in the end and its great!
    From NBC:
    “Chuck” is averaging a 2.4 rating, 6 share in adults 18-49 and 6.6 million viewers overall. “Chuck’s” ratings increase significantly when all time-shifted viewing is added to its results, growing this season by an average of 22 percent in its 18-49 rating and more than 1.1 million persons in total viewers when going from its “live plus same day” to its “live plus seven day” results from Nielsen Media Research”

    better news do make me even more happy, because, apparently, things like facebook, twitter, blogs(yeah!) it will help somehow to define ratings and for fans like me, outside usa, is just great!

    all the best,
    tadeu 🙂

  44. I’m happy that Chuck has been renewed for a fourth season. But the question I have, is what is going to happen to Sarah. From what I understand Chuck will be coming back sometime in the fall. And Yvonne Strahovski is out of the country filming a moive. So what is going to happen?

    • Production on season 4 won’t begin until late July/early August at the soonest. Yvonne should be finished filming her movie by mid-to-late-June.

  45. Woot Woot!Soooo happy!

  46. Woot woot yeah we got our renewal 🙂 Doing the happy dance

  47. Great news. Now we can relax and watch the remaining three episodes of this season knowing that the show will be back next season. Let’s hope that the show is part of the fall schedule and (ultimately) gets a full 22-episode season. I have really enjoyed the story path during the past several episodes and I hope that the show continues to develop in this way.

  48. this is the greatest news… season 4 of CHUCK….
    another season of great episodes and a lot of fun … thanks to the people who made it happen…

  49. Ohhhh… CHUCK ME!!! This is AWESOME!!! I can’t believe it! WHOOT! Seriously, this calls for world-wide celebration! No other way to describe it than CHUCK-FREAKIN-TASTIC!!!

    CHUCK fans… I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!! DUDES, WE RULE!!! =D

  50. Mel, 2 questions.

    Is the show coming back in the fall and a possible back 9 episodes be ordered in addition to the original 13 slated for season 4?

    Are the budget cuts which hurt the show in Season 3 going to be restored for
    Season 4?

    Please comment, thanks.
