Watch Glen Powell Transform in Hilarious Chad Powers Football Comedy Trailer

The secret’s out and it smells like turf and prosthetic glue. Hulu has finally dropped the full trailer for Chad Powers, Glen Powell’s wild new football comedy, and it is a glorious touchdown of chaos, charm, and college-level disguises. If you ever wondered what happens when you mix a disgraced quarterback with a fake identity and a walk-on tryout, this is your answer. Spoiler alert: it gets weird fast.

Glen Powell Goes Undercover as Chad Powers

In Chad Powers, Glen Powell plays Russ Holliday, a hotshot college quarterback whose career nosedives after, well, being a bit of a jerk. Instead of licking his wounds in peace like a normal person, he slaps on a wig, some truly questionable facial hair, and morphs into Chad Powers, a completely made-up football hopeful. He walks on to a struggling college team, the South Georgia Catfish, where no one knows he used to be the guy on the posters.

Powell absolutely commits to the bit and it shows. Think White Chicks meets Varsity Blues with a splash of The Ringer and a heavy pour of sports comedy ridiculousness.

Football, Fame, and Fake Noses

The show’s origin story is already legendary. The Chad Powers character was born from an ESPN sketch where Eli Manning went undercover as a walk-on at Penn State. That bit blew up online and now, thanks to the Manning brothers and Powell, it’s getting the full Hollywood treatment.

The trailer delivers on what fans have been hoping for: laugh-out-loud lines, underdog vibes, locker room antics, and just enough heart to keep it from being a full-on parody. Oh, and yes, Eli and Peyton Manning are executive producers because of course they are.

When and Where to Watch Chad Powers

Chad Powers hits Hulu on September 30 with the first two episodes dropping like a surprise onside kick. After that, you can expect weekly episodes as the show builds toward what will likely be a slow-mo sports climax with dramatic music and emotional monologues.

Final Whistle

Glen Powell’s Chad Powers is shaping up to be the football comedy event of the year. It’s weird, it’s heartfelt, and it knows exactly how ridiculous it is. Whether you love football or just love watching people try to keep a fake mustache on while sprinting drills, this one belongs on your watchlist.
