Many of us were happy Friday to get the news that NBC has signed off on a fifth and final season for Chuck.
Hitfix’s Alan Sepinwall talked to producer Chris Fedak about the renewal and what we can expect in season five.
Here’s an excerpt:
You got the renewal for a fifth season, but it’s also the final season. How does that feel?
We’re excited. We’re stoked to be able to tell more “Chuck” stories. It’s a unique and in some ways precious show. We’ve managed to survive 5 years. Josh (Schwartz) and I love telling these stories, along with the rest of the writing staff. For us, it’s the ability to tell 13 more stories and close out the story in a super fantastic way. And to know what we’re doing, that that’s the gameplan all along? It’s great. That’s something you don’t usually have when working on a network television show. On our show, we’ve had finales built into our episode 13, but we’ll be able to design the season in a very specific way.

Last night’s finale was fantastic and the ending came as a real surprise. I was glad it got renewed but after last night’s show and I thrilled to be getting 13 more episodes to work out a great closure for the show. Kudos to Josh and the entire staff and cast for getting the green light for more.
