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!

  8. yeah CHARAH still goes on. i hope next season they keep them together………………………. that is all i want to see

  9. AWSOOOOOOOME SOUCE!!11!!!

  10. Yes this is it guys, this is real perfect tv series that i have ever seen. Forget about the lost final, or other series on tv. This is awesome. I can not wait for season 4.

    Love you guys you are all awesome.

  11. Unbelievable finale can’t wait for season 4. A lot of shows had terrible finale’s this year but chuck really stepped it up. I’m very excited to see how the writers continue the story of chuck.

  12. Great decision NBC! This is a fantastic show – I’ve watched since episode one. (And I buy Subway!)

    I already can’t wait for next season!

  13. so epic!! please NBC, bring the season 4!

  14. go CHARAH. keep the romance alive. adding CASEY’s daughter is a nice story line. Team Casey: Morgan, Casey and Alex….

  15. I’m very pleased it’s been renewed.

    Back in early season 2 my roommate liked this show and I thought it was terribly written. Perfectly casted, perfectly acted, and badly written. Every episode Sarah had some completely unrelated slow motion shots of her body, tons of random references to pop culture and computer related schtick, and a fairly predictable plot. Just obviously pandering to their audience.

    But the end of season 2 was really quite good, and then season 3 was OUTSTANDING!!! Very tightly written, a plot that wasted maybe one or two episodes tops, emotional involvement and so many things going on my mind is reeling. Whereas the first two seasons had simple black and white military morality that kept me from taking the show seriously, this season has real moral conundrums that the characters have to face.

    I mean, the writing and plot in this season is simply a cut above the first two. Please, keep with the same tone and pacing next season, because this is the best thing on TV right now.

  16. Unbelievable Finale bit upset by the death of chucks dad as he was a good addition to the show but hey he might still be alive like when shaw was shot LOL HAHA

  17. the best way to save chuck in between right now and season 4 ramp up suport by telling all your friends about chuck and to watch Chuck

  18. chuck rules!!! the best tv series ever!!!

  19. I wanted him chuck’s dad to die not casey or alex morgan elli sarah

  20. This is by far my favorite show on tv. For a while heroes was tops but that show is waste of an hour compared to Chuck. Only Sparticus on Starz held my attention like Chuck in terms of entertaining tv shows over the past few years but that’s a premium channel. My daughter is 6 and sat the whole 2 hours with me enjoying the season finale. Great ending as always. I love the actors, love the character, love the story. I only miss one thing from season 1, the wonky music that played when in the Buy More. Thank you to everyone involved with the show I really appreciate the effort to put out such a great product.

  21. if they have a good season premiere that wouldhelp this season premiere was okay but not great

  22. I’m glad to read this after watching last week’s season finale. I can’t wait to see Chuck’s mom!

  23. Gabriella Sciarrone

    just love it!!!!!!!

  24. the best season finale in a very long time, I love the series,

  25. Loved the finale. Although it does not come close to Casey crashing Ellie’s wedding. My wife and I watch Chuck religiously every Monday, as well as PDR it to watch later! Go season 4! It will be interesting to see the twists. No one stays dead on Chuck (Bryce, Shaw, Orion?) Will his Dad return? September will tell.

    Chuck Me!

  26. I’ve been watching this show since its pilot episode..now I can’t wait for season 4!! its gonna be a long summer.. but its worth the wait..

  27. I don’t think there will ever be a show like chuck. Its really one of a kind. Definitely my favorite show of all time.

  28. season 4 chuck the bomb i love it think they should make a video games what do you think?

  29. My family and I have been following this amazing series since the very first episode. We Love It! This is by far the best hour on TV. I love the chemistry between all the characters.
    I have many many favorites but John Casey and “Jeffster” are pretty darn amazing and always get a smile from me. I am so glad that the show was picked up for a season 4.
    I really hate the fact that we have to wait around on pins and needles each season to see if it’s coming back again. Just renew the dang show for multiple seasons. Us, fans will all be here plus many many more!

    nbc libera logo esstemporada que estou muito ancioso

  31. Awesome news! Thank you NBC!! This is such a great show. Most people I know don’t really watch TV series because the quality level in TV has become so low–nothing clever and fun–
    but Chuck has changed their minds and is gaining traction with viewers.
    Please keep the series going!

  32. I LOVE CHUCK! (: ooh and i can’t wait for season 4

  33. For the longest time Superntural was my favourite show on tv i thought it was fantastically done even though depressing at times a phenomonal story. But just a few weeks ago i saw a link to chuck on sidereel, i watched the first episode and was immediatly hooked. I loved it so much i have watched all 3 seasons online already and i am going out to buy season one and two tommorrow and get my sister and her boyfriend to watch it and i am positive they will enjoy it as much as i have. Also good job to the creators for that spectacular third season finale i was extremly impressed and excited no i can not wait for the fourth season and hopefully more than thirteen episodes. Hopefully all us chuck veiwers can keep it going for many seasons more or at least as far as we can take it.

  34. Glad NBC decided to renew Chuck for season 4 can’t wait to get my hands on the season 3 BD disc set(I already own season 1 and season 2) and now that season 3 is finished get my Chuck fix by rewatching the first two seasons again, again,… and again it makes the wait for the new season easier to bare

  35. I dont know what I would have done if they had ended the thrid season the way they did and did not have a fourth season! Chuck is the greatest show i have ever watched and I cant wait for the fourth season to come on TV and the third season on DVD already started watchin the first and second season on DVD so I will be ready!

    Chara Forever!!! <3

  36. So happy, Chucks dad isn’t dead btw… you’ll see…

    • well since he was killed right outside the room where Shau was brought back to life, then yea, i’d have to agree with you Rex 🙂

      • Sister is a doctor. Dad was shot outside of ‘cellular regeneration’ room. He’s dead. LOL

  37. one of the best tv shows ever!!even for a season finale, its better than lost which we tought to be also one of the bests.Anyway, thx guys not to end this wonderful show!!!cant wait for the new season!!!!THANKS NBC!!

  38. Is it September. There are so many questions hanging now for season 4 can’t wait to watch it.

  39. Yey! The best news all week!

  40. oh hell yeah! thanks NBC

  41. I am glade there will be season 4.
    That’s a very good news.
    Thanks. 😀

  45. Thank God finally Chuck is back with Season 4.

  46. When will season 4 show???
    I really want to see!!!

  47. not to be ungrateful

    …but it would be nice for them to pick up a whole season with advance notice, so the writers can write an entire season and not two disjointed story arcs. I love and appreciate every Chuck episode we can get, though, however it has to happen.

  48. FORGOT TO MENTION–THE NEW SUBWAY BREAKFAST SANDWICH IS AWESOME!!!!

  49. Any one an tell me when will chuck season 4 shows???
    Please tell me
    Thz so much

  50. So excited to hear Chuck is coming back in the Fall-
    since it was forever last time. My sister and I LOVE
    this show and never miss it. Kinda creepy Shaw came
    back (only in TV). So happy Sarah and Chuck are officially
    together (would love a wedding show) and really happy
    that you finally had Ellie find out! 😉 Hope this show is on
    for many more seasons!
