Englund will play Dr. Stanley Wheelwright, an evil scientist who can make your waking life a nightmare. He’ll appear in this season’s sixth episode, titled “Chuck Versus Aisle of Terror.”

To recap, Chuck’s other notable season 4 hires include Linda Hamilton, Timothy Dalton, Eric Roberts, Lou Ferrigno, Olivia Munn, Nicole Richie, Old Spice Guy, and Dolph Lundgren.

Chuck‘s new season kicks off in 12 days, 7 hours, and 49 minutes on Monday, Sept. 20.

    They have new webisodes of Jeffster! over the web, following them as they are on the run for thinking they blew up the Buy More. That is much better than counting down the days!

    • Emily

      So did not know that. Thanks for the heads up.

  • Stefi

    I NEED to watch new Chuck episodes soon or I will lose my miiiiiiiind!!

  • Dee

    This is going to be such a great season. Think we’ll get more viewers?

    • Em B

      I hope so!!!

  • Mole

    Normally I kinda hate stunt-casting, but I have to say that Chuck is elevating it to an art form. Just such a great awareness of pop/geek culture and what its fans really want to see.

    • Brian

      I think they’ve been stunt casting for so long that it doesn’t feel like stunt casting anymore.

    • rj631

      Agreed. I feel like it works with Chuck because it is so self-aware. It understands its audience and the show isn’t afraid to bring in exciting “geeky” culture actors and make fun roles for them. It doesn’t feel like, “let’s bring in this guy and force a role in there,” but “we have a role, let’s fill it with someone great”

  • GimplyGump ☺

    This is now the guest star I’m looking forward to the most!

  • savetheoc

    Wow, AWESOME! I can’t wait til Chuck Season 4! Woohooo!

  • Kay Lhota

    This sounds like terrific fun! Now, if only we can get more people to join us in watching “Chuck.” It’s been so much fun!

  • sweetiepie1019

    Nice pull, Chuck! Great guest cast this year. Now if only we could get some scoop that isn’t stunt casting related … hint. Hint.

    • GimplyGump ☺

      How about Chuck will be back on the 20th? ;-) j/k

  • Philippa

    Excellent news!

  • SirLizard

    “Spyomedy”!? Really!? You couldn’t come up with a better term than that? I think that if you’re going to coin a term, wouldn’t “spycom” be better?

    • Mole

      I think the humor was in the awkwardness…

    • Stacey

      Spyomedy…it fits with the tongue and cheekiness of Chuck.

  • Nick

    It would be totally awesome if one of the nightmare situations was him dressed up as Freddy Krueger.

  • Nicole

    How is this show not infinitely more popular than it is??? It’s literally one of the most entertaining shows on tv in a long time, and it has something to appeal across all demographics. SO PSYCHED for the Halloween ep now!

    • Kathryn

      I absolutely agree. How is chuck not more popular. It’s the most AWESOME show on.

  • goofydude

    I love Chuck but preferred it when he couldn’t do martial arts stuff from flashing.

    • jeremiah89

      Have you not watched much since the beginning of Season 3? He didn’t suddenly turn into a superhuman freak that can’t be stopped, he’s still Chuck, just more confident overall in what’s he’s capable of.

  • sheilar

    so excited for chuck to return! chuck season 4 sounds amazing from all the news we have heard!
