With NBC about to announce their fall 2009 schedule later today (Well, unless they don’t), do we already know the fate of secret super (Now, with extra kung-fu knowledge!) Chuck? Possibly… and it’s good news.
Nikki Finke’s Deadline Hollywood Daily blog announced yesterday that her sources were telling her that Chuck has been renewed for a third season, along with Law & Order and Medium, adding that an announcement should come today “unless the bosses decide to mess with our heads;” the Hollywood Reporter has already confirmed the Medium news. Heroes has already been unofficially renewed, after NBC announced that they planned to make less episodes next season. No news yet – but don’t hold your breath – on the fate of Kings or Knight Rider.
UPDATE: NBC have announced a partial fall schedule, but with no news on Chuck; Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello claims that we’ll have to wait until May 19th for that news.
