Get Ready for Some Good Ol’ Football Fun with Chad Powers! If I can’t be Russ Holiday, I’ll be someone else – and that someone else is Chad Powers, the lovable and hilarious title character of the upcoming Hulu comedy. And just in time for the NBA Finals, we’ve got a 15-second teaser that’s giving us all the feels!
The teaser shows how Russ, a hotshot quarterback, has become a laughingstock after his college career goes up in flames. Desperate to get back in the game, he hits the makeup chair and transforms into the charming Chad Powers. The result is a comedy goldmine that’s sure to have you giggling from start to finish.
But what’s Chad Powers all about, you ask? Well, according to Hulu, it’s about Russ, who disguises himself as Chad, a talented and affable quarterback, and joins a struggling Southern football team. Based on a sketch from NFL Films and Omaha Productions, the half-hour comedy is set to premiere on September 30th, with two episodes debuting.
Glen Powell, who co-wrote the pilot with Michael Waldron, is set to star as Chad Powers. Powell is no stranger to TV, having appeared in shows like Scream Queens and numerous one-offs. But this project has the potential to be his breakout role, and we can’t wait to see him shine.
But where did Chad Powers come from, you ask? Well, the character has its roots in Eli Manning’s Eli’s Places series on ESPN, where the two-time Super Bowl champ and New York Giants quarterback went undercover as Chad Powers to try out for Penn State’s football team. Manning serves as an executive producer on the show.
In addition to Chad Powers, Powell has another exciting project lined up, Edgar Wright’s remake of The Running Man, set to hit screens later this year.
