More Cast Revealed For “Chad Powers” Season 2

One of the biggest hits of 2025 was “Chad Powers”, a comedy series starring Glen Powell that 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.

The first season is set 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.

Colin Woodell will play the role of Jay, a charming, handsome and wealthy Catfish alum. Tricia (Wynn Everett) brings him to a Catfish game to try to recruit him as a booster.

While Gillian Jacobs will play the role of Jerri Dougan, sister to Gerry (Colton Ryan). She is a Catfish fanatic who believes Powers taking her brother’s QB job is a conspiracy.
