Chad Powers: First Look At Glen Powell In Football Comedy

Hulu has released the first look at Chad Powers, a new sports comedy starring Glen Powell.

First Look At Glen Powell In Chad Powers

Powell is virtually unrecognizable as Powers, a shamed college football quarterback who disguises himself to walk on for another school’s team.

The logline reads: “When bad behavior nukes hotshot QB Russ Holliday’s (Powell) college career, he disguises himself and walks onto a struggling Southern football team as the talented, affable Chad Powers.”

Chad Powers was co-created by Powell and Loki’s Michael Waldron. Additionally, Powell and Waldron co-wrote the pilot. The series is inspired by Eli Manning’s sketch from the ESPN+ series, Eli’s Places.

“We’re both diehard college football fans,” Powell and Waldron said in a joint statement at the time of the announcement. “When we saw Eli as Chad Powers, we knew that was the way into a big, fun story about this world. We’re excited to be part of this team, and can’t wait to get Chad in the game. Think fast, run fast.”
