Series Overview
Chad Powers is a six-episode sports comedy series that premiered on Hulu on September 30, 2025. The story follows Russ Holliday (played by Glen Powell), a once-promising college quarterback whose career flames out after a humiliating mistake and public scandal. Eight years later, he reinvents himself — literally — as “Chad Powers,” donning prosthetics and a wig to walk onto a struggling small-college football team, the South Georgia Catfish.
Inspired by Eli Manning’s viral “Chad Powers” sketch from his ESPN+ show Eli’s Places, the series combines heart, humor, and a little bit of helmet hair. The result is a surprisingly sharp commentary on fame, failure, and the lengths people go to for a second chance.
