Glen Powell Transforms for Hulu's Football Comedy 'Chad Powers'

The series, inspired by Eli Manning's 2022 sketch, follows a disgraced quarterback's undercover comeback and premieres in fall 2025.

Glen Powell stars as Russ Holliday, a former college quarterback whose career falters due to bad behavior, forcing him to disguise himself as 'Chad Powers' to join a struggling Southern football team.
The series is co-created and co-written by Powell and Michael Waldron, with Eli and Peyton Manning serving as executive producers alongside ESPN.
Inspired by Eli Manning's viral 2022 ESPN+ sketch, the show expands the concept into a half-hour comedy about redemption and second chances in football.
The first teaser, released in December 2024, showcases Powell's dramatic transformation using prosthetics and a wig, which he described as one of his most challenging roles.
The 10-episode comedy series is set to debut on Hulu in fall 2025 and features a cast including Steve Zahn, Perry Mattfeld, and Quentin Plair.
