The wait is over, "Chuck" is officially renewed. A day before the formal presentation regarding the Fall schedule, NBC has announced that there will be a third season of the action comedy starring Zachary Levi. The network is expected to make the official announcement on Tuesday, May 19.
However, due to the mediocre rating that it received during the second season, NBC only orders 13 episodes to cut some budget. Also, two staff writers reportedly will be let go and some supporting cast will get reduced time of appearance during the season. Worse, according to EW, a regular actor will be dismissed permanently.
"Chuck" literally has been saved by its fans who, upon hearing that it may get canceled, launched a petition as well as the campaign "Save Chuck" with the help of Subway. A fansite Zachary-Levi.com encouraged viewers to watch the April 27 finale live and buy the sponsoring sandwiches on the day.
Meanwhile, creator Josh Schwartz has accumulated thought of the third season long before the season gets a green light. "...Chuck and Sarah's relationship will be one of the major driving stories of next season - should we have one," he said, adding that they were still accumulating thoughts for new characters but "know how next season would end."

OMG!!! cant wait for 3rd season of chuck but does anybody know when it comes on in New Zealand and it is the best show in the world hope it stays longer and the only reason it got poor ratings in nz was bacause it was on at like 9:30pm
Chuck is the best TV show i've ever seen,can't wait for season 3,Croatia
OMFG!!!!! chuck is fricken awesome. i love it. but thirteen episodes? seriously? thats not enough! i need at least a twenty two episode fix :D we need you chuck!
Owwww! Finally... more, more, want so much more of this :D
Just finished watching series 2 so I hope series 3 runs the full 22 and goes on for a few years yet. There were only 2 other US series I just would "NEVER" have missed, Miami Vice and Battlestar Gallactica (new series) Chuck is right there with both of them. Chuck, Sarah and Casey are 3 individuals who gell so well. Please don't let it end on a 3rd series! UK watcher.
chuck is the best show on tv cant belive nbc cant see what a AWESOME show they have. Long live chuck and the buy more
Can't believe the ratings are so poor! It's the best show on TV ever! What are the people thinking and how can they not see it for the great show it is?? Hope NBC comes to their senses. Not a big fan of Kristin Kreuk so a bit disappointed that she's going to make an appearance. But let's hope the show lives on for many more seasons!
i am a fan of seasonal movis but i have falling in love with Chuck.
Awesome that our Chucky's coming back.Absolutely loved the first 2 series.
It would be great if Chuck would start sooner. I don't know where the network is getting its info, but Chuck Rocks!
even here in Philippines, chuck rules. Chuck 3 must be as long or longer than the last season. its the best American series ever. Goo chuck.
it´s the best show in the world. I want 22 episodes for the season three!!!
Chuck is one of the best shows i have ever seen. i sure would hope that this isn't the last season. I love CHUCK and wanna have more seasons.

i'm so happy chuck is coming back!!! hellz yah!!
well i hope that 3rd season dont be the last one...i think morgan will appear because he talked about maybe he is gone go into the spy stuff so..well this is a really good show and i like it very much...
We love Chuck! Don't change anything and don't get rid of anyone!!!! Maybe you should check your ratings again because I know tons of people who love this show! Maybe put it on a better night when there is nothing but crap on and you will get even more people o watch it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chuck is awesome! love watching it best show ever! Sarah is dam fine too!
I am also waiting for the first episode of season 3 of Chuck, it continues from the last episode of Season 2
MY WIFE & I LOVE CHUCK & LOOK FORWARD TO TUESDAY WHEN IT'S SHOWN IN LONDON. BRING ON SERIES 3,CANNOT WAIT!
Let me add my 4 cents for my hubby and myself! Chuck's the only thing we love on TV It's hard to find something to watch and Chuck is clean that's probably why so few of us like it but there is a group of us that prefer this kind of entertainment and KUDOS to whoever had the forsight to see that WE NEED CHUCK! THANKS for bringing it back but could you hurry?
Anna Woo is coming back for the people who said she isn't.. So hopefully Morgan won't be going. However if they lose Adam Baldwin(Casey) I don't think i'll be watching anymore. He makes the show for me.
Let's all put our support behind Chuck! It's one of the most interesting & well written shows and deserves many more seasons!
It's really frustrating that a good show like Chuck takes a back seat to such lame programming that has to be avoided it's so bad. Get wise NBC, put your money on Chuck. That's were mine is going.
Thanks to whoever decided to bring Chuck back. It's the only good thing about Mondays. I LOVE THIS SHOW!
Chuck is the best TV show. The cast are awesome. Everyone of them. I WANT CHUCK BACK.....
i love this show, we all need to support it more once the new season begins
This serial is the best i've ever seen. We wan't seson 3 to be released quickly
This show roxxx.... and if u take it away f**k u all.... :P:P
heyyy chuck is so coolll we want to watch his episode
i love chuck! i would do anything to save the show, i'm just really mad cause i heard it isn't even supposed to air until 2010! i can't wait that long!, and only 13 episodes!! man...
so there is a god in this world GO CHUCK!!!!
Chuck is amazing. Oh my gwash it is the best show ever. we just finished season 2 here in New Zealand and we are going to have to wait forever for season 3. atleast it is coming back but 13 episodes isn't very much. Although the producers said if it gets good enough ratings in America they might extend the season. Peace fellow Chuck lovers.
how can they afford to employ the guy from family vacation on the final 3 episodes and complain about budget cuts, keep the cast and kill anna emmette but keep big mike for such moments like when he takes out the falvrum agent on the episode when chuck arrests jill. CHUCK FOREVER
morgan has gone to hawai so he and anna will be gone, hope they don't drag on the thing with chuck and sarah too long, either she should go or become real and none of this bsck and for fealings, and i love the show carry on till season 10. also awesome and ellie may be cut back or move just a teory i heard.
get rid of milbarge he's a usless character i hope jeff and lester stay there my favourite supporting characters
Now Chuck seems to remind me of the same plot wen he learned Kung-fu....It the MATRIX>> Im just glad that Chuck is back Even though it is just 13 Episode. -From SG
iam so glad that season 3 has been renewed i hate nbc, what the hell were they thinking, this is the best show ever.
its sucks how theres only going to be 13 episodes i wish they would just make it the same as the last season you know with the same amount of new episodes
dem men u mean i have to wait for all those months ,,,come on you must be kidding me,,,, am in africa ,,indeed kenya,,were kind all funs of chuck,,,somebody do something pliz!!!!
thnk god chuck is going to have a third season F*** NBC to making it only 13 episodes this is from congo and we all love chuck over here we all hope it goes on to another 10 season
I'm really glad to know there's going to be a 3º season! I just watch the final episode of the 2º serie and I'm lookin' forward to see the new episodes! CHUCK IT'S AWESOME!
Chuck is great
This is the greatest show ever!! I cant believe they are only going to produce 13 episodes and one of the cast is going. Hope its not Sarah I just love her. I Also think Casey, Lester and Jeff are incredible. And obviously the greatest numbnuts spy of all times Chuck! And now he knows Kung Fu!! Cant w8 to see him in action again. Greetings from Uruguay this is really good tv!
I dont think they will let go of Jeff or Leicster (JEFFSTER) it might be Big mike but definately not Morgan. I also doubt it would be Casey or Elle & Awesome. If you count Bryce 1 down :-) Even though i did think he was one of the best characters :-( Its kinda typical of NBC to try to ruin a good thing. I personally think Chuck is the only thing i am able to watch on NBC, and i also think it is better than Heroes which also could be good but it just to slow.
I AM SOOOOO GLAD IT'S GONNA HAVE A SEASON 3!!!!!!!!!!!1 I LOOOOVE CHUCK! HOPE THE RAITINGS GET HIGHER SO WE CAN HAVE A SEASON4 AS WELL!!
do u have ne idea wen chuck's gonna be on air??i am desperately waiting for the episode..

As Devon says 'AWESOME!!!!!! Bro!!' finally chuck's really going to be a a**-kicking spy!!!

Perfect. This show is one of the greatest I've ever seen. The perfect blend of Comedy and Action grabs the viewer. I am very excited to hear that it is officially renewed for a third season, even if its for thirteen episodes.
I am really happy that the show has a 3rd session, pity it's only 13 eps., lets keep the fight for a full session!
madd it is being renewed thanks every one who has signed the petitions and saved chuck as it is truly a madd as shows
YAHOO!!! I love this show!!!
YAY!!!! I'm sooo happy that they have cont. Chuck! It is the best show ever! And yea they should not have only 13 episodes!! But I'm glad that it is NOT cancelled!!
Yes finally but for them to gut the show that way is still wrong Hey I am very happy that we still have the show but come on 13 episodes because they don't want to admit they put it in a bad time slot please and the whole thing about a main cast member will not be back really blows chuck fans now that we have saved the show it is time to demand better treatment of the greatness that is Chuck Nerd Herd 4 life!!!!!
YES! YES! YES! I am so happy. You don't even know how excited I am I have been waiting to hear good news for so long and am anxious to see season 3. This is the best show and we need to get more people to watch :)
finally OMG i been waiting to hear this great news since the season finale. I am so freaking excited! YESSS
Finally! This was the news I was hoping for! This is AWESOME!
so glad to hear chuck is back! well... more glad to hear that sarah is!
I assume it's Morgan who's off the show, as he decided in the last episode to go to Hawaii to be a hibachi chef.
what regular is getting let go?? Morgan, Big Mike, I hope its not Jeff or Casey.
Soo glad to hear that Chuck is coming back! Best news all day.
don't mind me saying f**k yes this is the only really good show on tv since Buffy the vampire slayer im so happy its coming back
