Hulu’s “Chad Powers” Renewed For A Second Season

Disney has announced that it has renewed the Hulu Original comedy series, “Chad Powers” for a second season, with Glen Powell returning as the titular character.

Eight years after an unforgivable mistake nukes his promising college football career, hotshot quarterback Russ Holliday tries to resurrect his dreams by disguising himself as Chad Powers – a talented oddball who walks on to the struggling South Georgia Catfish.

The series is based on the “Eli’s Places” segment from ESPN and Omaha Productions, where Eli Manning disguised himself in prosthetics to participate in a walk-on tryout at Penn State.

Season one stars Glen Powell as Russ Holliday/Chad Powers, Perry Mattfeld as Ricky, Quentin Plair as Coach Byrd, Wynn Everett as Tricia Yeager, Frankie A. Rodriguez as Danny and Steve Zahn as Coach Jake Hudson.

Hulu’s half-hour comedy “Chad Powers” hails from co-creators Glen Powell and Michael Waldron. Season one executive producers include Glen Powell, Michael Waldron, Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, Ben Brown, Burke Magnus, Brian Lockhart, Kati Fernandez, Adam Fasullo, Luvh Rakhe, and Tony Yacenda. The series is produced by 20th Television.

The first season of “Chad Powers” premiered earlier this Fall, and it is available to stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the United States and on Disney+ internationally.

Roger’s Take: It’s great to see this comedy series returning for a new season, and this news will likely also boost interest in the first season, as people hold off getting too invested in new shows until they know it’s going to stick around. No release date has been revealed for when “Chad Powers” will return, but hopefully, it won’t be too long.
