Glen Powell stars in Hulu’s football comedy series ‘Chad Powers’ teasers: Gridiron fun

Glen Powell is gearing up for an exciting 2025 after a successful 2024. He’s working on a new comedy series called Chad Powers, co-created with Michael Waldron, known for his work on Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The show is based on a character from Eli Manning’s popular Eli’s Places show, and it’s no surprise that Eli Manning is an executive producer alongside his brother Peyton Manning through their Omaha Productions banner. Powell is wearing many hats on this project—he’s a co-creator, co-writer, and executive producer, all while taking on the title role in the series.

The premise of Chad Powers is intriguing: after a quarterback named Russ Holliday’s college career goes sour due to bad behavior, he reinvents himself as the likable Chad Powers and joins a struggling Southern football team. Alongside Powell, the cast includes Toby Huss, Steve Zahn, Perry Mattfeld, Quentin Plair, Wynn Everett, and Clayne Crawford.

This show promises to be a lot of fun, drawing comparisons to the success of Ted Lasso, which also started as a sketch. With its roots in sports comedy, Chad Powers is set to be a hit. Fans can look forward to catching it on Hulu in Fall 2025, so mark your calendars and get ready for some laughs!
