Hulu launches Chad Powers season two, upping the comedy-football drama
Hulu premiered the six-episode second season of Chad Powers on September 3, following quarterback Russ Holliday’s double life as Chad and the fallout from the first season’s finale.
Season two of Chad Powers, released in full on Hulu on September 3, continues the story of disgraced quarterback Russ Holliday, who masquerades as the charismatic Chad Powers. Set roughly two weeks after the Catfish’s triumph over Georgia, the plot introduces Coach Hudson’s heart attack, Chad’s unexpected on-field injury, and a prosthetic-nose mishap. Ricky, having uncovered Chad’s true identity, teams up with Danny to preserve the ruse, motivated by her own career and her father’s recovery.
Supporting characters gain prominence: Tricia Yeager intensifies pressure for wins, while backup QB Gerry schemes against Chad. The season mixes sports comedy with romantic tension, featuring standout performances from Glen Powell, Perry Mattfeld, Steve Zahn, Wynn Everett and Colton Ryan, and hints at future twists for a third season.
Why it matters
The release shows Hulu’s investment in genre-blending series that attract sports and comedy fans.
