Chuck picked up for a full season already
By fred | August 28, 2008
Excitement is in the air for fans of NBC series Chuck. Last year, the show did well and received a full season pick up, but of course the writers’ strike came in the way the show couldn’t deliver all of the 22 episodes ordered. And while fans are waiting for the sophomore season to return, the people at NBC have already seen the (six) first episodes, and they like what they’re seeing so far.
So much, that they already gave the show a back-nine order, bringing the second season to a full season order of 22 episodes (so far, only 13 had been ordered). NBC’s head of development and current programs Teri Weinberg said that they “couldn’t be more excited with the creative direction Josh [Schwartz] and his team are executing on Chuck. This show has really hit its stride and deserves a full-season commitment to carry out the producers’ vision for this unique series.”
Of course executive producer Josh Schwartz has all the reason in the world to be happy about the news, as he called the pickup “unexpected” and added that it was “an incredible show of faith by NBC and so amazingly nice to get based on the work alone“.
Chuck returns on NBC Monday, September 29th at 8.00
