NBC has announced full-season pick-ups for new drama "Chase" and veteran dramedy "Chuck."

The network also confirmed that it has ordered four additional episodes of the J.J. Abrams-produced "Undercovers."

Airing Mondays at 10 p.m., "Chase has averaged a 2.0 rating/5 share in the key adults 18-49 demo, representing a 18 percent uptick for NBC in the time period compared to a year ago.

"'Chase' has introduced an appealing new star to television audiences in Kelli Giddish, and we think it has potential to grow," said NBC primetime entertainment president Angela Bromstad, in a statement.

"Chuck," meanwhile, has averaged a 2.2 rating/6 share and 5.9 million viewers this season, with 29 percent of the audience time-shifting its viewing with DVRs.

The network also decided to give rookie "Undercovers" more time, even though the show has averaged under a 2.0 demo rating.

The announcement culminates NBC's one-month-in decision-making on its fall schedule, with the network calling for back-nine orders on Monday for new series "The Event," "Law & Order: Los Angeles" and "Outsourced."

The only NBC freshman not receiving a full-season order was Jimmy Smits legal drama "Outlaw."
