Hulu’s Ted Lasso Replacement 'Chad Powers' Debuts With Mixed Reviews

Hulu's new sports comedy series Chad Powers, starring Glen Powell, has debuted with a disappointing 50% Rotten Tomatoes score, struggling to match the warm humor of Ted Lasso. Critics describe Chad Powers as uneven and lacking clear direction, with humor that is sometimes mean-spirited, though Powell's performance receives some praise. Meanwhile, Ted Lasso fans have been excited by news of the show's fourth season, where Jason Sudeikis returns to coach a women's soccer team, and fan favorite Phil Dunster, who plays Jamie Tartt, has been spotted filming and is expected to make at least a cameo appearance despite earlier doubts about his return. The new season also introduces several new cast members and has generated strong anticipation, although no premiere date has been announced yet. Overall, while Chad Powers faces an uphill battle to fill the Ted Lasso-shaped void in sports comedy, the original show's legacy continues robustly with its upcoming season.
