Chuck season 3 gets extra episodes!

Simon Brew


NBC ups the season 3 episode order for Chuck from 13 to 19 episodes. Really.

Published on Oct 29, 2009

Just a week ago, we were bringing together everything we knew about Chuck season three (which you can read here), with one of the inclusions in our round-up being that the third season of the show was currently set for 13 episodes, with the hope that more would be ordered.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, more have been ordered.

This joyous news has been revealed by NBC, and it takes the episode count for season three from 13 to 19. This is without a single episode of season three being shown, or any ratings figures calculated. It's also one of the single finest pieces of news we've had the pleasure of reporting in some time, especially when you consider how close Chuck came to getting the axe earlier this year.

The show has been the unexpected beneficiary of NBC's decision to axe the show Southland, and that's also meant that some fresh scheduling work is going ahead. We understand that while the original plan was for Chuck season three to get going next March, its premiere date has now been brought forward to January instead.

Variety has the full story here. And we now have big grins on our faces.

OK I hear there is the possibility that Chuck may return sooner than next year,which to me would quell the Chuck-addict's fix within me, but I have to point out that being a freak of a mind wreck after watching the Number 23,I find odd numerical patterns in everything now.Just watch the show and look out for what I like to call "frozen numbers" numbers that stay in frame for long periods of time or appear more than once in a scene. pilot episode Chuck's NH car is number 3 and the helipad Sarah takes Chuck to is 10=3/10. I know I'm just an anonymous nut job from Ohio,but you have to think about that for a minute...
