SERIES PREMIERE
Hulu debuts Chad Powers today, a new half-hour comedy series that might just fill the Stick and Ted Lasso-shaped space in your hearts.
The series stars Glen Powell (Anyone But You, Twisters), as hotshot quarterback Russ Holliday, who, 8 years following an unforgivable mistake that nuked his promising college football career, tries to resurrect his dreams by disguising himself as Chad Powers — a talented oddball who walks onto the struggling South Georgia Catfish.
The series also stars Perry Mattfeld as Ricky, Quentin Plair as Coach Byrd, Wynn Everett as Tricia Yeager, Frankie A. Rodriguez as Danny and Steve Zahn as Coach Jake Hudson.
Chad Powers is from co-creators and executive producers Glen Powell and Michael Waldron.
Eli Manning serves as executive producer along with Omaha Productions’ Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, Ben Brown and ESPN’s Burke Magnus, Brian Lockhart, Kati Fernandez.
Tony Yacenda serves as director and executive producer. Series star Powell also co-creates, co-writes and executive produces under his production co-banner Barnstorm Productions.
Chad Powers premieres with the first 2 of 6 episodes on Tuesday, Sept. 30 on Hulu.
