Glen Powell Says He Took Hits Filming ‘Chad Powers’ Season 2 as Production Ramps Up

Powell cites pro-level, practical football with a darker Russ Holliday arc as drivers of a more intense second season.

Overview

  • Speaking on the Golden Globes red carpet on Jan. 11, Powell said he “took some hits yesterday” during filming and was “in a little bit of pain.”
  • Season 2 production began this month, with the Hulu series continuing to stage real on-field action rather than relying on staged play.
  • Powell said the football is “legitimate,” noting he squares up against players with professional experience.
  • He previewed a darker, escalated tone for the new season, describing the storyline as driven by chaos tied to Russ Holliday.
  • Hulu renewed Chad Powers for a second season in December, and Powell is a Golden Globe nominee for his season 1 performance.
