Spoilers follow for the ending of Chad Powers season 1.

If you enjoyed Chad Powers season 1, I bring good news. Hulu (and Disney+ internationally) has renewed the Glen Powell led sports comedy, so you can breathe a sigh of relief after that cliffhanger.

The first season introduced us to Russ Holliday, a disgraced football player who gets a second chance by going undercover as Chad Powers. In the finale, though, Chad’s true identity is revealed, but not to everyone.

This reveal sets the course for future episodes. Powell told The Hollywood Reporter that there's plenty more of Russ/Chad's story to explore, and that it was planned early on.

"The reality is there’s a lot more story to be told," he said. "There was a construction early on for an arc of what the Catfish would look like. So we have a beginning, middle and end in mind."

"But people have to tune in and show us they want to see it. We believe in this show. I believe we have a hit show here and one the world’s really going to love. If we get the privilege to make a second season, we have some fun stuff in mind.”

What could we see in Chad Powers season 2?

Now that Chad Powers has been renewed, there's an opportunity to do a deeper dive into his character and his struggles to keep up appearances. After all, protecting his true identity from being revealed is the number one thing.

But when you're in the spotlight, that's no easy task, and series creator Michael Waldron told TechRadar: "The point we’re making [with the series] is that it’s just going to get harder from here, and that it’s not going to be easy to do this and take it all the way."

He added that the show has a lot to do with identity and self-acceptance, saying: “I keep finding myself interested in these people who are ostensibly lionized and find themselves put in really tough situations, and have to grapple with their identity and figure out who they really are."

I'd definitely be interested in seeing how Russ might cope if his deception is uncovered by more people. Is it possible for him to redeem himself, or would this mean he'd never get to play again?

I'll be waiting patiently for season 2 to arrive to see just how big this web of lies can get, and of course, I'm anticipating some more laugh out loud moments too.
