Unlike last year, where fans had to protest and wait forever to see if Chuck would be coming back, fans shouldn't have to wait as long this year to find out if the show will be coming back, "Chuck creators Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak have asked the network to make a decision sooner this time, on the heels of pitching NBC their plans for Season 4. Schwartz and Fedak have told NBC that knowing their decision in the near future will help them make sure they can keep their writing staff in place."

Last week's episode actually saw a ratings increase, and if last night's episode performed well, chances are strong for Chuck.
