This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.Chad Powers' fate has been decided at Hulu. The sports comedy series stars Glen Powell as a former college quartberback named Russ Holliday who disgraced himself. He pretends to be an individual named Chad Powers so he can recapture his college football glory days, even going so far as wearing prosthetics for his disguise as a walk-on quarterback for the South Georgia Catfish.
Now, Hulu has announced that Chad Powers is renewed for season 2, with Powell confirmed to be returning as the titular character. The official renewal comes more than a month after the season 1 finale was released on October 28.
Created by Powell and Michael Waldron, the series is inspired by ESPN and Omaha Productions' "Eli's Places" segment, which featured Eli Manning disguised in prosthetics while participating in walk-on tryouts for Penn State University's football team.
In addition to Powell, season 1's cast includes Steven Zahn as Coach Jake Hudson, Perry Mattfeld as Ricky, Quentin Plair as Coach Byrd, Wynn Everett as Tricia Yeager, and Frankie A. Rodriguez as Danny.
