CASTING NEWS: Summer Glau Heads To Chuck! (UPDATED)

Summer Glau to guest star on ChuckNerds of the world, rejoice! Ausiello just confirmed that none other than Summer Glau is headed to Chuck as Greta in episode 4.08 (title TBA). That means we’ll have two Terminator alumni on the show: Linda Hamilton (the original Sarah Connor) and Summer who appeared in the TV series. We also have the potential for a Firefly mini-reunion between Summer and Adam Baldwin. Fan-freaking-tastic! This episode is slated to air Monday, November 8 on NBC.

Last seen in a recurring role on Dollhouse, Summer will be a regular on the NBC mid-season superhero series The Cape.

Updated 09.27.10: Per Fancast’s Matt Mitovich, Summer and Adam Baldwin will share at least one scene, and Chris Fedak hints that Firefly fans may get an inside joke of our own.

  1. Who is Greta in episodes 5-7?

  2. *happy freaked-out fannerd dance*

  3. So happy!!! I LOVE Summer Glau (almost as much as Yvonne Strahovski), especially in Firefly and Sarah Connor Chronicles! I hope she will have a somewhat greater role as a Greta in that episode!!!

  4. I’m crossing my fingers she and Casey can be in the same together I’d geek out if that happened. Jayne and River together again. 😀

  5. I knew it! I was sure they were going to try to get her for a Greta!
    The casting is just outstanding this season.

  6. Was changing characters a good idea like this? Usually unless its severe circumstances that’s not something most would appreciate. On the other hand…its Summer Glau!!!! Falling victim to a series of good shows that got canned prematurely like Firefly, Terminator Chronicles, and the not so great but decent Dollhouse. I’m so pumped to see her back on screen again!

  7. Now they have to get Nathan Fillion on the show, make him the villain in the same episode that Summer Glau is in, Geek-orgasm commence

  8. Holy crap! This is awesome news. I can’t wait for her episode.

  9. Totally awesome !! cant wait. Hope she doesn’t just stand around and has more input to the team 🙂

  10. That is too freaking awesome!

  11. I agree with the rest of ya, “Awesome!” Screen time with Jayne.. erm I mean Casey and please use these great guest stars for some comedic scenes.

    I love Summer, can’t wait.

  12. I definitely can’t wait for this episode. As much as i am a fan of Chuck i’m an even bigger fan of Summer. I was actually upset when they canceled Sarah Connor Chronicles so it’s great to see her make another acting appearance.

  13. Writers: please please please make Adam Baldwin wear a Jayne hat for whatever mission they have that week! People know that he’s not afraid of anything!

  14. maybe they should have leah heady be on the show and have the two sarah connor have a showdown

  15. did they forget another Terminator Alumni that was on the show?
    ROBERT PATRICK!
    He played Colonel Keller in Chuck Vs. The Tic Tac :)))))))
    HOW AWESOME IS THIS?!?!?! <3

    • Just watched a Terminator 2 scene (when Linda Hamilton escapes) and guess who is one of the mental hospital’s guards? Big Mike, I mean, Mark Christopher Lawrence!

  16. That’s so awesome! Not long ago there was the Friday Five: Reunions we’d like to see on Chuck (or something like that) and at that time I watched Big Bang Theory. So I wrote that I’d like to see Summer Glau on Chuck and now she’s here, that’s just crazy! (If you have a wish, you just have to forget about it and it will come true). 🙂
    Of course I hope that she will be in more than just 2 scenes (Olivia Munn :()!

  17. Awesome news is awesome.

  18. This is awesome. I still miss Julia Ling, though. It would be pretty awesome (and funny) to have an unexplained Anna Wu “Greta” (it would tie together Casey’s background check on her after she opened up a can of whoopass in season 2).

  19. As much as I’d LOVE for Fillion to make it onto an episode, I doubt that’ll happen as long as Castle is airing. :/

  20. This is going to ROCK!!

  21. Wait Big Mike was in Terminator as well though.
