Chad Powers Season 2 Renewed by Hulu

Glen Powell’s hit college football comedy, “Chad Powers,” has scored big with a Season 2 renewal on Hulu. The show, which premiered on Sept. 30, follows Powell as Russ Holliday, a former star quarterback whose career takes a nosedive after a pivotal mistake in a championship game. Fast forward eight years, and Russ reinvents himself as Chad Powers, a quirky newcomer who joins the struggling South Georgia Catfish team for a shot at redemption.

The series boasts a talented ensemble cast, including Perry Mattfeld, Quentin Plair, Wynn Everett, Frankie A. Rodriguez, and Steve Zahn, bringing the characters to life on screen. Not just a lead actor, Powell is also a co-creator of the show alongside Michael Waldron, known for his work on “Loki” and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” The premise for “Chad Powers” was inspired by a viral skit from ESPN’s “Eli’s Places,” where Eli Manning went incognito to try out for a college team.

Behind the scenes, Eli Manning, along with production companies like Omaha Productions and 20th Television, help bring “Chad Powers” to life. The show’s success led to the announcement of a second season, with reports from the Atlanta Journal Constitution indicating that production is set to start in January. Fans can gear up for more football-themed comedy and drama in the upcoming season, packed with Powell’s signature blend of humor and heart.
