Production Begins On “Chad Powers” Season Two

Last year, Disney released a brand new comedy series called “Chad Powers” on Hulu and Disney+, which 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.

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.

Last month, Disney announced that “Chad Powers” had been renewed for a second season, and it’s been revealed today that production is already underway on the second season, with an image of Glen Powell returning as the titular character.

The show 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,” which premiered earlier this Fall, is now streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the US and on Disney+ internationally.
