Glen Powell Goes Undercover as College QB in Chad Powers Trailer for Hulu Football Comedy
Glen Powell is leaving behind the glitz and glamour of Hollywood to take on a whole new look in the upcoming Hulu sports comedy, Chad Powers. Premiering on September 30, 2025, this series promises a unique blend of humor, heart, and football frenzy.
Co-created by Powell and Michael Waldron, known for his work on Loki, Chad Powers offers a fresh perspective on the classic redemption story within the world of a struggling Southern college football team. With NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning on board as executive producers, the show aims to appeal to fans of both comedy and college football.
The concept for Chad Powers was born from a viral 2022 sketch from Eli Manning’s ESPN+ series, Eli’s Places. The Mannings first brought the character of Chad Powers to life, inspiring Powell and Waldron to develop it into a full-fledged series. In a joint statement, they shared their excitement about bringing this story to a wider audience.
The recent trailer for Chad Powers, which premiered during ESPN’s College GameDay, showcases Powell’s transformation into the “extremely ugly” Chad Powers, complete with a fake nose and mustache. The trailer teases a mix of humor and heart, as Russ Holliday (played by Powell) navigates a second chance at glory through deception and camaraderie.
With Powell leading the star-studded cast, which includes Steve Zahn, Perry Mattfeld, Quentin Plair, Wynn Everett, and Frankie A. Rodriguez, Chad Powers promises to deliver a compelling narrative about personal growth and second chances in the face of adversity.
Fans can catch the first two episodes of Chad Powers on Hulu starting September 30, 2025, with new episodes dropping weekly every Tuesday until the finale on October 28, 2025. Be sure to tune in for this exciting blend of sports action and heartfelt storytelling, only on Hulu or Hulu with Disney+. Stay tuned for more updates on this upcoming series!
