"NBC president Bob Greenblatt has confirmed that the upcoming fifth season of Chuck will likely be the show&amp;#039;s last. He told TV Line that the decision to renew the series for a final season as part of the network&amp;#039;s fall 2011 schedule was made &amp;quot;for the fans who love it&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;It seemed to be the way to end it appropriately... and not get into a situation where it might end or might not end, and then it ends and we haven&amp;#039;t concluded the storyline,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;It gives [producers] a chance to plan for it. I think that&amp;#039;s the best way to do it.&amp;quot; Greenblatt also insisted that the show is highly unlikely to be renewed for a sixth season, or even for additional episodes beyond the previously-commissioned 13. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think [that&amp;#039;ll happen],&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Unless suddenly we have 10 million viewers watching it on Friday night, then it would [be renewed].&amp;quot; Chuck co-creator Josh Schwartz recently admitted on Twitter that he is &amp;quot;very grateful&amp;quot; for the opportunity to give the show a proper conclusion. &amp;quot;[The] decision by NBC to pick up Chuck for a final season to complete the story was incredibly classy,&amp;quot; he wrote. &amp;quot;A gift to fans who have been so loyal.&amp;quot; Schwartz added: &amp;quot;Of course those decisions not always up to us, but it&amp;#039;s nice to see fans&amp;#039; feelings taken into account. Every story deserves an ending.&amp;quot; The fifth season of Chuck will air on Fridays at 8/7c in the fall. &amp;gt; Night By Night: NBC&amp;#039;s 2011-12 lineup &amp;gt; Scorecard: What&amp;#039;s in and out at NBC "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
