Glen Powell & ‘Chad Powers’ Co-Creator Tease Season 2 Likelihood: “If Folks Dig It”
With Chad Powers going for glory next week in the Season 1 finale, Glen Powell is hopeful to be back for another season.
The Golden Globe nominee, who stars as the titular incognito football player in the Hulu series he co-created with on of his “best pals,” Michael Waldron, said he will “always make time” to reprise the character for another season.
“I’ve never had such a good time making anything,” he told TheWrap. “When you get to collaborate with one of your best pals and make something that you love so much and that brings such joy to people.
Powell added, “I just really feel so proud that we’ve done this first season and when you feel that way, you always make time. And so obviously it’s a bit of a wild moment, but I have a lot of energy and especially a lot of energy to do something that gives me a lot of joy with people I love.”
Meanwhile, Waldron chimed in, “If folks dig it, we’ll make more.”

Powell previously told Deadline that if Chad Powers gets a sophomore season, he intends to feature his former school University of Texas at Austin. “If we get a Season 2, which as long as the world begs for it and cheers as loud as we think they should, I will definitely be showing the Texas Longhorns. The Catfish will definitely be playing the Longhorns somewhere in Season 2,” he said last month.
In Chad Powers, new episodes available to stream Tuesdays on Hulu, Powell plays hotshot quarterback Russ Holliday, who disguises himself as the titular football player to join a new team after tanking his own college career.
Featuring a pilot co-written by Powell and Waldron, Chad Powers is based on the Eli Manning sketch produced by NFL Films and Omaha Productions that aired on ESPN+ as part of the Eli’s Places series.
