Disney has released a first-look image of a brand new half-hour comedy series called “Chad Powers”, which comes from co-creators and executive producers Glen Powell and Michael Waldron. The series has now officially gone into production.

The series tells the story of what happens when bad behavior nukes hotshot QB Russ Holliday’s college career, he disguises himself and walks onto a struggling Southern football team as the talented, affable Chad Powers.

Check out the first look image below:

“Chad Powers” is based on the sketch produced by NFL Films and Omaha Productions that aired on ESPN+ as part of the Eli’s Places series.

The half-hour comedy from 20th Television will stream on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+. It’s likely this new series will also be released as a Star Original on Disney+ internationally, though no details have yet been confirmed.

Powell and Waldron co-wrote the pilot. Eli Manning serves as executive producer along with Omaha Productions’ Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, Ben Brown and ESPN. Waldron and Adam Fasullo are executive producing for Anomaly Pictures. Luvh Rakhe will executive produce and Tony Yacenda will serve as director and executive producer.
