Overview
- The trailer debuted Saturday during ESPN’s College GameDay, offering the first full look at Powell’s prosthetic-heavy alter ego.
- Chad Powers premieres September 30 on Hulu with two episodes at launch, followed by weekly Tuesday releases, with availability also noted on Hulu on Disney+.
- Powell plays disgraced quarterback Russ Holliday, who remakes himself as walk‑on “Chad Powers” to try out for the South Georgia Catfish, leaning into a Mrs. Doubtfire–style disguise and second‑chance arc.
- The ensemble features Steve Zahn as Coach Jake Hudson alongside Perry Mattfeld, Frankie A. Rodriguez, Toby Huss, Wynn Everett, and Quentin Plair.
- The series was co-created by Powell with Michael Waldron, with executive producers Eli and Peyton Manning, and direction from Tony Yacenda, expanding Eli Manning’s 2022 Eli’s Places stunt into scripted comedy.
