Chad Powers’ Ends on a Cliffhanger as Hulu Weighs Renewal

Renewal remains undecided, with Hulu weighing audience data alongside Glen Powell’s availability.

Overview

  • The six-episode first season concluded October 28 with an unresolved ending intended to set up further chapters without revealing key twists.
  • Disney/Hulu has not greenlit a second season, and the show’s fate will hinge on performance metrics and other streamer considerations.
  • Co-creator Michael Waldron and star/co-creator Glen Powell say they have mapped out next steps and want to continue if given the go-ahead.
  • Waldron describes the short run as a creative choice to stop at midseason in the story, though Hulu leadership has also cited Powell’s busy schedule.
  • Reception has been divided with stronger audience scores than critic reviews, and the series briefly topped Hulu and Disney+ early in its rollout.
