Touchdown! Chad Powers Scores a Season 2 Renewal at Hulu

Hulu has officially greenlit a second season of the offbeat college football comedy, giving Glen Powell another shot at leading the hilariously chaotic world of Russ Holliday, the quarterback who faked his way into a new identity just to keep chasing gridiron glory. For fans of the show, this news is nothing short of a victory dance.

Chad Powers began as a comedic sketch starring former NFL star Eli Manning, but it quickly evolved into a full-fledged Hulu series thanks to the creative minds of Glen Powell and Michael Waldron. The show follows Russ, whose career imploded spectacularly, forcing him to reinvent himself as “Chad Powers” to join a struggling southern college football team. The concept sounds absurd and it is but the blend of ridiculous humor, underdog heart, and offbeat sports chaos has clearly struck a chord with viewers.

The first season premiered in September 2025, delivering six fast-paced episodes that kept fans hooked from start to finish. Its mix of cringe-worthy comedy, surprisingly emotional beats, and over-the-top football antics earned it a spot among Hulu’s most-watched original series. And the finale, with its dangling cliffhangers and unresolved identity crises, left viewers hungry for more, exactly the setup that Season 2 is primed to exploit.

Why a second season? It’s simple: the show still has miles to run. The creative team has hinted at bigger stakes, more outrageous disguises, and deeper character development. We can expect more tension-filled identity mix-ups, expanded storylines for teammates and coaches, and the signature mix of self-aware humor and heart that fans have come to love.

Chad Powers Season 2 promises bigger laughs, higher stakes, and more football chaos than ever. If you enjoyed the awkward tackles, underdog grit, and cringe-to-chuckle moments of Season 1, get ready the game is far from over, and the second half is about to begin.
