Glen Powell’s Chad Powers season 2 release now has a date: September 3. Hulu also shared first look images from the new season, putting a timetable on the series’ return and giving viewers the first new footage ahead of launch.
Glen Powell Returns as Russ Holliday
Powell returns as Russ Holliday, the same character who plays Chad Powers on the field. Perry Mattfeld, Quentin Plair, Wynn Everett, Frankie Rodriguez, and Steve Zahn also star in the second season, keeping the ensemble intact around the show’s central disguise.
Chad Powers is based on the Eli’s Places segment from and Omaha Productions, and the series comes from Powell and Michael Waldron. In its second season, Eli Manning serves as executive producer, with Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, and Ben Brown among the executive producers at Omaha Productions and Burke Magnus, Brian Lockhart, and Craig Lazarus among the executive producers at.
Coach Hudson and Gerry
The second season keeps the story on the field and off it at the same time. Chad Powers is described as a superstar on the field, but his odd behavior off it has everyone suspicious, with Coach Hudson and Gerry especially wary as the walls close in on Russ’s lie.
That setup gives the new season a clear operating problem: the play is working, but the cover story is not. Russ and Danny still want Chad to survive the regular season and lead the South Georgia Catfish to the College Football Playoff, while Ricky is the only person who can help Russ and Danny in Season 2.
September 3 on Hulu
The September 3 premiere gives viewers a firm return date and makes the first-look rollout more than a teaser; it signals that Hulu is moving the second season into launch mode. For viewers of Chad Powers, the useful takeaway is simple: the countdown is on, and the show is leaning into the suspense around whether Russ can keep the disguise alive long enough to matter.
