Overview

• Season 1 launches Sept. 30 with Episodes 1 and 2, then continues weekly on Tuesdays through the Oct. 28 finale for a six-episode run.
• Glen Powell plays disgraced quarterback Russ Holliday, who disguises himself as walk-on “Chad Powers” to revive his career at a struggling small-college program.
• The show was co-created by Powell and Michael Waldron, with Eli and Peyton Manning as executive producers, adapting Manning’s 2022 ESPN+ sketch.
• Early reviews are mixed, with praise for supporting performances and football detail alongside critiques of the prosthetic-heavy disguise and uneven tone, including an IndieWire grade of C-.
• Promotion included a Rose Bowl premiere and fan events, and the series highlights college-football culture and pressures around boosters, NIL deals, and the transfer portal.
