Well, this is kinda surprising in a way and yet at the same time I’m not surprised at all. After those outstanding ratings the new baby special brought in of course Disney would want to continue to see what else this show can do.
The official Disney press release follows.
DISNEY CHANNEL ORDERS A FOURTH SEASON OF HIT COMEDY SERIES “GOOD LUCK CHARLIE”
A fourth season has been ordered for Disney Channel’s “Good Luck Charlie,” a hugely popular family sitcom that recently delivered the #1 cable telecast of the week (8.9 million, L+7 data) and the #1 telecast of the entire second quarter 2012 among Kids 6-11 (4 million, L+7 data) and Tweens (3.7 million, L+7 data). The announcement was made today by Adam Bonnett, Senior Vice President, Original Programming, Disney Channels Worldwide. The series presents authentic, kid-relatable stories told from the young characters’ POV yet more nuanced towards the family. The third season storyline recently introduced a newborn baby into the Duncan household.
“The success of ‘Good Luck Charlie’ is a testament to the strong comedic writing of the inventive creative team and characters so artfully brought to life by the talented cast. Every kid wants to be part of the Duncan family, and we look forward to telling more stories that engage and entertain viewers in a fresh and relevant way,” said Bonnett.
The series was created by Phil Baker and Drew Vaupen and is executive-produced by Baker, Vaupen and Dan Staley. Starring are: Bridgit Mendler as Teddy Duncan, Jason Dolley as PJ Duncan, Leigh-Allyn Baker as Amy Duncan, Bradley Steven Perry as Gabe Duncan, Mia Talerico as Charlie Duncan and Eric Allan Kramer as Bob Duncan. The current storyline recently introduced Baby Toby Duncan (casting will soon begin for the role).
In season four, Toby grows into a toddler and Charlie embarks on new play dates, while the entire Duncan household gets busier and is filled with entertaining milestones and daily amusements. Amy’s role as a full-time mommy blogger propels her to celebrity status; Bob has a career mid-life crisis and begins contemplating his next move; PJ develops a passion for the culinary arts; Gabe forms a special friendship with a girl; and, with college fast approaching, Teddy and Spencer evaluate their relationship.
Disney Channel is a 24-hour kid-driven, family inclusive television network that taps into the world of kids and families through original series and movies. Currently available on basic cable in over 99 million U.S. homes and to millions of other viewers on Disney Channels around the world, Disney Channel is part of the Disney/ABC Television Group.
Did they just say “the strong comedic writing of the inventive creative team”. Yeah, uh huh sure bro. A new baby? How the hell is that “creative”?
This show was a great surprise, really didnt think the story line would last, but having a great cast and hearing charlie talk, ,, the acting ,, it has turned into a good show
They couldn’t have possibly been referring to the category “Creative team”, could they?
You really should find a more suitable outlet for your negativity.
As for the article itself: Already talking about season 4? Wow.
Season 3 ain’t even halfway done.
Well gee. My little nickname for him was accurate. Why’d you feel the need to edit my comment?
I ALWAYS watch Good Luck Charlie! I never go through a day without watching it! I can’t wait for season 4!
Good Luck Charlie is currently the best show on Disney Channel (and easily the most relatable; they’re a regular, middle class family).
“and, with college fast approaching, Teddy and Spencer evaluate their relationship.”
I hope they break up for good. I don’t like how Teddy and Spencer got back together… after he had cheated on her. bleh
