The other shows [on the bubble] had none of that attention or energy,&#8221; said the unnamed executive. &#8220;I was sent more Nerds than anyone could consume in a lifetime&#8230; And Subway and Subway consumers drove so much energy our way.&#8221; Finke also reported that while Chuck won&#8217;t be returning until after the Olympics, original content will be released in the interim. Chuck has previously released webisode series during the hiatus between seasons, and it&#8217;s likely that it will take this form going forward<\/p>\n<p>Chuck stars Zachary Levi, Adam Baldwin, Yvonne Strahovski and Joshua Gomez.
