Chuck Chucked?
I’d been passed a rumour of this news a few days ago, but I’ve been trying to get some sort of response myself from Sky to confirm it. Despite the wall of silence from the press office, their Twitter account and their Facebook, finally the Sky Living Help Forum stepped up and confirmed it…
Sky Living ‘have NOT acquired the rights for the final season of Chuck’.
UPDATE: A further email from Sky explained a bit more saying “Unfortunately, we have not acquired the rights for the final season of Chuck. Whilst we appreciate this is frustrating to loyal viewers there are some great new series coming to Sky Living this autumn and unfortunately we have limited space in the schedule. On balance we decided that whilst Chuck has been a great asset to the channel, we need to focus our resources elsewhere.”
It’s not very clear if there should be a yet on the end of that, and they do say ‘this is still under review’ but as of right now (Sept 2011), Chuck’s final season does not have a home on UK TV…
As it is ‘still under review’, i’m sure the nice folk at Sky Living would love to hear from you if you feel you’d like to see Chuck Season 5 in the UK.
Why not tell Sky Living your thoughts by contacting Sky Living on Twitter, or on Facebook, and letting them know if you would like to be able to view Chuck in his final outing on TV in the UK, preferably in a timely fashion (i.e. Oct/Nov this year), and not 9 months from now…
