Peyton Manning Coaches Glen Powell for Hulu’s Football Comedy Chad Powers

Glen Powell stars as Russ Holliday, aka Chad Powers, in the new Hulu comedy series "Chad Powers," which follows a former college quarterback's comeback attempt after a public meltdown. The series, co-created by Powell and Michael Waldron, aims to blend humor, romance, drama, and adventure, with a genuine love for football at its core. NFL legend Peyton Manning, who produces the series through his Omaha Productions, has been actively coaching Powell to ensure authentic football portrayal, offering advice on plays and on-field behavior. Manning praised Powell's dedication and screen presence, joking about his style and endorsing his performance, while also comparing him favorably to his brother Eli Manning, the inspiration behind the original sketch. The collaboration highlights a mix of comedy and heartfelt storytelling grounded in real football experience, with both Mannings supporting Powell's transition into the role.
