Linda Hamilton to Play Chuck's Mom — and Guess Who's Pregnant?Who is Chuck's mommy? "Linda Hamilton, [who will first appear in the premiere], is such an icon in terms of that action female, badass mom, and that really speaks to what we we're looking for," said Josh Schwartz on the panel, which kicked off with a performance from Jeffster."That's really going to be a huge part of the season. That's obviously a story that lands in Chuck's spy world and personal world." Will Chuck still have secrets? Though Ellie (Sarah Lancaster) asked Chuck to quit being a spy, the hunt for his mother will keep him in that world. "We go back to Chuck keeping a secret from Ellie when she's asking him to retire and be safe," said Lancaster. "So I look forward to that dynamic again this year."Who has a mini-Awesome bun in the oven? "We're looking to expand our family," Lancaster revealed backstage of Ellie and Awesome (Ryan McPartlin). "There might be a little bun in the oven, which will be good because it will raise the stakes." Fedak confirmed the impending arrival of the baby who he said "will rule the world."Who will replace The Ring? "We have a new big bad this year," Fedak said. "The big bad is a really important part of the story. Essentially we're going after one person the entire season, which is a little different than what we've done in the past."Who's taking over the Buy More? The Buy More is now owned and operated by the CIA, so every week there will be a new guest-star playing the role of Greta, "a CIA operative slash Buy More executive," said Schwartz. "Every week we will have a new Greta, and whether it's a woman or a man, the character's name is Greta." Olivia Munn will take on the role in the premiere, while Old Spice spokesman Isaiah Mustafah appears in Episode 2.Will Chuck and Sarah's relationship survive? "Chuck and Sarah are a couple this year," said Schwartz. "We've learned about putting people in between Chuck and Sarah." Added Levi: "Even though we're together now, and we can be honest about being together and we're a couple officially, the love has always been there."
Exclusive 'Chuck' video: Spoilers, silliness, and a surprise birthday serenade!Despite the fact that we just chatted six days ago at Comic-Con, Chuck‘s Zachary Levi and I still had plenty to discuss at NBC’s press tour soiree last night. First up: Scoop on Old Spice hunk Isaiah Mustafa’s guest appearance in episode 2. And be sure to stick around for part 2 of the video with the rest of Chuck‘s wacky ensemble. The final 30 seconds are particularly magical, if I do say so myself. (Hint: Yesterday was Yvonne Strahovski’s birthday.)
At this year's Summer TCA, I've been covering the panels for new TV shows, but I've also gotten to chat up close and personal with some of the stars. Not only did PopSugar talk to Emmys host Jimmy Fallon, but I had a few minutes with Chuck star Zachary Levi to talk about the new season (which returns this Fall instead of the Winter!) and what he thinks of Chuck's newly cast mother, Linda Hamilton!BuzzSugar: Have you filmed with Linda yet?Zachary Levi: I won't film with Linda for a while, because the whole point of the season is me finding her, so if I were to film with her too early, that would be a short season.Buzz: Were you a fan of Linda's?ZL: Huge, huge. I was beyond excited, and everyone on the cast and crew was — the fans were stoked as we hoped they would be. It's all around greatness to have Linda join the cast.Buzz: What's the status of Chuck and Sarah's relationship this season?ZL: Oh, we're domesticated. We're still going through the birth pangs of any relationship, what it's like to move in and be together and live together. I dropped out of working for the government and she's still working for the government, so we have that, and also just the way she's never been domesticated. She's always been on the run, either with her dad or as a spy. So there's certainly outside influences that will continue to cause a little turmoil and drama between us, but we're together That's done this year.Buzz: I heard that Ellie is pregnant — is that true?ZL: She is. That comes out in the first episode. I was actually surprised that that leaked. I didn't know how or why it did.Buzz: Is Morgan involved a lot?ZL: He's totally involved in the journey. He's my right hand man, he's helping me find my mom.Buzz: I heard Nicole Richie will be back to reprise her role.ZL: She'll be back, but I don't know when. But Olivia Munn guest stars in the first one, as does Dolph Lundgren. It all ties into our nerd/awesome/sci-fi genre world — always giving back to the fans. Then in the second episode [we have] Isaiah Mustafah, the Old Spice guy. I just filmed with him today! He's amazing, awesome, such a great dude, super down to earth, super grateful.Buzz: Are there any truth to the Superman rumors?ZL: No. As much as I wish that I could say yes — no, I'm not.Buzz: Would you want to?ZL: Of course, I'd love to play Superman.Buzz: Which superhero would you like to play?ZL: Pick one! I don't know, I'm a huge nerd.
