Hulu has released the first teaser for its upcoming comedy series Chad Powers, starring Glen Powell as a disgraced college quarterback attempting a secret comeback. The series will premiere with its first two episodes on September 30.
In the teaser, which debuted during Game 4 of the NBA Finals, Powell plays Russ Holliday, a once-promising quarterback whose career collapses after a major blunder on the field. Facing public backlash and mockery on social media, Russ decides to reinvent himself by going undercover as “Chad Powers,” complete with a wig and prosthetic nose, in an attempt to rejoin football anonymously.
“If I can’t play as Russ, I’ll play as someone else,” Powell’s character declares in the clip. Despite his unusual appearance, the teaser shows Chad impressing teammates on the field while drawing humorous remarks off it — including a cheerleader who quips, “He’s, like, extremely ugly.”
The series also stars Perry Mattfeld, Quentin Plair, Wynn Everett, Frankie A. Rodriguez, and Steve Zahn. The pilot was co-written by Powell and Michael Waldron. Chad Powers is based on a comedic sketch from Eli’s Places, produced by NFL Films and Omaha Productions for ESPN+.
Powell also serves as executive producer through his Barnstorm Productions, alongside Eli and Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, Ben Brown, ESPN, and producers from Anomaly Pictures.
