Glen Powell’s ‘Chad Powers’ Kicks Off on Hulu With Two-Episode Premiere

Executive producer oversight from the Manning brothers shaped the show’s on-field authenticity.

Overview

  • Hulu launched the series with two episodes on September 30, with new installments every Tuesday through October 28.
  • Eli Manning marked premiere day with a congratulatory post on X, sharing side-by-side photos and urging fans to stream the show.
  • Co-created by Powell and Michael Waldron, the comedy features Powell in a dual role enhanced by heavy prosthetics and a wig.
  • Powell trained with Patrick Mahomes’ offseason coach Nic Shimonek as Eli and Peyton Manning provided granular quarterback coaching, with game action staged by Game Changing Films.
  • During press, Powell addressed jokes about his Top Gun throws—saying the scene used a slick Nerf ball—while promotion included a Raising Cane’s tailgate and a “Think Fast. Eat Fast.” campaign.
