Chuck and Parenthood: Renewed!
Matt Richenthal at .A pair of TV Fanatic favorites have reportedly been picked up by NBC.
Sources tell TV Line that both Chuck and Parenthood will return next season, the former with a 13-episode order and the latter with a 22-episode pick-up. This is tremendous news, as it's comforting to know the "Cliffhanger" in the Chuck season finale title won't apply to that show's status for 2011-2012.
Among new shows also picked up by NBC:
- Smash, a Steven Spielberg-produced musical drama that stars Debra Messing.
- Sitcoms that feature Whitney Cummings, Christina Applegate and Will Arnett.
- A remake of the British drama Prime Suspect starring Maria Bello.
UPDATE: Harry's Law has also been renewed.
