Chad Powers: A Hilarious Sports Comedy Starring Glen Powell on Hulu

Get ready for some chuckles with Hulu’s new sports comedy series, Chad Powers! The teaser just dropped, giving us a peek at the mix of sports, humor, and disguise that this show has in store. Starring Glen Powell as Chad Powers, a football player with a secret identity, the cast also includes Perry Mattfeld, Quentin Plair, Wynn Everett, Frankie A. Rodriguez, and Steve Zahn.

The story follows Chad Powers, who is actually Russ Holliday, a talented college quarterback. When Russ’s football career hits a rough patch due to some missteps, he hatches a plan to turn things around. By using facial prosthetics (yes, you read that right!), he transforms into the lovable Chad Powers and joins a struggling Southern football team. What ensues is a hilarious journey of deception, football shenanigans, and an underdog tale that will make you cheer for the “new guy” on the team.

Based on a sketch from NFL Films and Omaha Productions, originally featured on ESPN+, Chad Powers is set to hit Hulu in late 2025. Created and written by Glen Powell (who also plays Chad) and Michael Waldron, with additional writing by Adam Fasullo, the show is helmed by directors Payman Benz and Tony Yacenda, known for their comedic flair.

With its quirky plot, endearing lead character, and the vibrant sports comedy theme, Chad Powers is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated shows of 2025. Make sure to mark your calendars and prepare for some laughs, football action, and unexpected twists!
