Hulu's Chad Powers Completes Season 1 Finale, Creators Outline Three-Season Plan

Chad Powers is a Hulu sports comedy series starring Glen Powell as Russ Holliday, a disgraced quarterback who returns to college football under the disguise of Chad Powers. The six-episode first season, which premiered in late 2025, concluded with a cliffhanger revealing Russ's secret identity to a teammate, setting up new dynamics and challenges. Co-creators Glen Powell and Michael Waldron have outlined plans for at least two more seasons, aiming to continue the story through the college football season without stretching the premise too long. The show blends comedy, drama, and sports elements, drawing comparisons to Ted Lasso but with a darker edge and unique storyline inspired by an Eli Manning sketch. Despite mixed critical reviews, the series has been well-received by viewers, and the creators are committed to timely production for a potential season two. The finale emphasized that Russ would not be easily forgiven for his deception, adding complexity to the characters' relationships moving forward.
