Glen Powell’s football comedy “Chad Powers” is back for Season 2, which will release Sept. 3 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers. 

People are starting to catch on to the odd behavior of Russ Holliday, aka Chad Powers (Glen Powell) this second season, especially Coach Hudson (Steve Zahn) and Gerry (Colton Ryan). As much as they detest working with him, only Ricky (Perry Mattfeld) can keep Russ’ lie from collapsing and lead Chad and the Catfish to the College Football Playoff. 

Also starring in Season 2 are Quentin Plair as Coach Byrd, Wynn Everett as Tricia Yeager and Frankie Rodriguez as Danny. 

“Chad Powers” is based on the “Eli’s Places” segment from ESPN and Omaha Productions and was co-created by Glen Powell and Michael Waldron. Executive producing the second season are Eli Manning; Omaha Productions’ Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz and Ben Brown; ESPN’s Burke Magnus, Brian Lockhart and Craig Lazarus; Powell and Dan Cohen under Barnstorm Productions; Anomaly Pictures’ Waldron and Adam Fasullo; and Luvh Rakhe.
