Exclusive: NBC Officially Announces Chuck Renewal, But Producer Ali Adler Moving On

NBC today officially announced that it had renewed action-comedy Chuck for a fourth season of thirteen episodes, landing it a spot on the 2010-11 schedule at the Peacock.

Timeslot/episode order not yet revealed.

“Chuck has proven its enduring appeal and we love the new creative direction that Josh and Chris have taken the show,” said Angela Bromstad, President, Primetime Entertainment, NBC and Universal Media Studios, in a statement.

While news of the renewal leaked out yesterday (and was itself confirmed earlier today by co-creator Josh Schwartz via Twitter), NBC today officially gave words of the Season Four renewal of Chuck in a press release. Josh Schwartz let the masses know via Twitter that he got the official call from NBC this morning.

While the news of Chuck’s renewal is cause for celebration, there is a bit of news that may put a damper on the joyous occasion: Televisionary has learned exclusively that executive producer Ali Adler will not be returning to Chuck for a fourth season.

According to a source close to the situation, Adler has accepted a position on ABC’s new superhero family drama No Ordinary Family, from executive producers Greg Berlanti and Jon Harmon Feldman and ABC Studios. Series, which stars Michael Chiklis, Julie Benz, and Tate Donovan, revolves around a family who gains superpowers when their plane crashes in the Amazon rainforest. Adler is said to have signed on to No Ordinary Family earlier this month, prior to NBC’s decision on Chuck’s fate.

When reached via email, Adler had no comment on the rumor.

Adler will be much missed: not only had she been responsible for writing some of the Warner Bros. Television-produced series’ most beloved episodes but, thanks to her generosity and passion for the series, remained one of its truest champions and advocates.

It’s (sorta) official: NBC renews ‘Chuck’

RUMORED!: Chuck Lives On With 13 Episode Renewal

I’m not able to confirm it yet, but a source that has been very reliable in the past says Chuck has received a standard 13 episode pickup with an option for a back 9. Hardly a shocker if true, unless you were one of those definitively declaring it had zero chance for renewal. If that’s you, please wait for confirmation before going into hiding!

Update: again, my understanding of the deal is that it’s a standard 13+9 order (NBC has the option to order 9 more episodes, commonly referred to as a “back 9″) and that indicates Chuck would be on the fall schedule. Last year (for the current season). Chuck was announced as a mid-season show to begin with last May and there was no “back 9″ attached. Later its air date was pushed up to early January and NBC ordered six additional episodes.

NBC Gives Fans One Less Sleepless Night, Will Announce 2010-11 Lineup Sunday

Perhaps wanting to seize a news cycle advantage, NBC will not wait for its advertiser upfront meeting on Monday morning to announce its 2010-11 season schedule, but will do so Sunday at 5:15pm Eastern time instead. That will have NBC’s schedule in the slower media, while Fox is in the process of announcing its new schedule on Monday (in a 9am Eastern conference call)

♥ ‘Chuck’ Preview: A Sexy Blast From The Past!

Where in the world was Anna Wu? NBC’s ‘Chuck‘ answers that question this Monday at 8/7c, when Julia Ling reprises her role of Morgan’s former Buy More love interest. (When last we saw the sassy clerk, she had abandoned the Beard to pursue a new life and love in Hawaii.) Ling shared a look at how Morgan’s own new secret agent secret just might rock Anna’s world.

Julia, it’s so good to have you back! So where has Anna been, what has she been up to…?
Anna’s been in Hawaii, doing inappropriate things with the Benihana chef which shall not be discussed. [Laughs]

Does she still possess her unique sense of style?
She’s got this sexy tan going, so she comes back with that – a really awesome tan.

NBC – Angela Bromstad talks pilot shows

THR: You air your genre shows on Mondays. Do you think that will continue next season with “The Event?” Bromstad: We have another genre piece in contention, and we have “Chuck.” We’re going to hash out the schedule over the next week. THR: Earlier you said “we have ‘Chuck’ ” when talking about Mondays. Can we put these fans out of their misery and just say it’s picked up? Bromstad: It’s our highest performing Monday night show. We look at it as a very strong player and it’s a show that matches up with our new shows. It’s too early for me to say for certain as it’s a conversation we’re going to have next week. SOURCE

♥ The Ausiello Files – Scoop: I spy a ‘Chuck’ pickup!

Multiple sources confirm that NBC is expected to do the right thing and renew the action comedy for a fourth season. Per one insider, the show has thus far figured into all of the network’s preliminary plans for its May 17 upfront presentation.

Although a 13-episode pickup is the most likely scenario, my moles suggest that there’s also chance the show could be given a full season order.

An NBC rep had no comment. Series creator Josh Schwartz, meanwhile, says not to believe the hype. Renewal? “That’s news to me,” he swears. “I would urge fans to take nothing for granted… and watch tonight’s all-new episode, guest-starring Doc Brown himself, Christopher Lloyd, and the return of Anna Wu (Julia Ling).”

Listen to the man. And NBC, listen to the fans. Chuck fans, the comments section below is all yours. Post away!

Yvonne to Star in Action Movie ‘The Killer Elite’

Yvonne Strahovski has been cast in the upcoming action film The Killer Elite, led by British stars Clive Owen and Jason Statham. Yvonne’s role is that of Statham’s character’s girlfriend and will, says the film’s producer, launch Yvonne in a big way. Of course we’re all familiar with her acting skills and total gorgeousness, but this could indeed bring her to the attention of a worldwide audience.

The Killer Elite begins filming in Melbourne this week, so it looks like Yvonne will get to spend her Chuck hiatus on native soil again.

Zachary Levi Tells Spanish Media Season 4 Is “Likely”

Zachary Levi is in Spain to promote Chuck before continuing through Europe on his tour. Zac gave an exclusive interview with Spanish website www.formulatv.com, where he talked about Chuck’s chances at another season.

Zac declared:

“I think that it’s more likely that we will have a fourth season, but we don’t know. We should find out in one more week. The upfronts are in May 17th but I hope I will get a phone call in more week saying you have a job”.

What will he do if proven wrong?

“If Chuck doesn’t come back I’ll keep growing the beard, I’ll learn Spanish better, another show, hopefully some movies… The television schedule is very long and crazy, there’s not a lot of time to do movies when you’re doing television. So there will be more opportunities to do a movie or… videogames, I don’t know,” he laughed.

When asked about directing an episode this season, Zac said

“it was amazing … I have always wanted to direct, write and produce. I just was waiting for the right opportunity, and this was the right opportunity. It was difficult starring the show and direct the show at the same time”. “It turned out very good, I think. I was very proud at the end of the day”.

Zac also talked about his recent singing experience with Katharine McPhee. He confessed: “I love singing and hope that I can do it professionally in some way, but acting is my bread and butter. If people like, maybe I’ll do some more, but if people don’t, maybe I’ll stop”.

The full interview (in Spanish) is on Formula TV’s website.
