Cue the superhero music...

Even though fans may need to wait until the spring for the new season of Chuck to premiere, it's never too early to get excited for it. Can you give us a hand with that, Ryan McPartlin?

The actor previewed his character's upcoming arc with E! News this week, saying that Devon "Awesome" Woodcomb would be moving up in the spy universe on future episodes.

"I don't know if I'll be made a spy, but I'm getting involved in the spy world. Chuck's going to [be] in a pinch and call on me to help him out," he said.

McPartlin added that the third season will somewhat resemble the first.

"it's amazing because it's like the first season, when Chuck got to carry the weight of the secret. I get to bring that [spirit of the] first season back again, through Awesome's eyes. And I'm just gonna lean on [Sarah and Chuck] for advice on how to do that."
