Chad Powers’ Future Uncertain After Cliffhanger Finale

Hulu has not renewed the six-episode comedy, and the streamer will weigh performance and Glen Powell’s availability as creators push for more.

Overview

  • Season 1 concluded October 28 after a six-episode run that ends on an unresolved note, with all episodes streaming on Hulu.
  • Disney/Hulu have not announced a Season 2, and a decision is expected to hinge on viewership, engagement and scheduling logistics.
  • Co-creators Michael Waldron and Glen Powell say they have a plan for additional installments and want to continue if given the green light.
  • Waldron frames the shorter first season as a creative choice to stop mid–football season, while Hulu’s Craig Erwich also cited Powell’s busy schedule.
  • Critical response has been mixed with a 57% Rotten Tomatoes critic score and stronger audience marks around 75%, and the series reached top placement early in its run, according to reporting.
