‘Chad Powers’ Season 2: Start Time, Episode Count And How Critics Are Reacting
- On Thursday, September 3, 2026, Hulu released the second season of Chad Powers, moving beyond its initial football disguise premise to offer increased emotional complexity and stronger storytelling.
- Created by Glen Powell and Michael Waldron, the comedy follows disgraced quarterback Russ Holliday, who adopts the Chad Powers persona to rejoin a college football team, a lie that becomes increasingly difficult to manage.
- Wynn Everett, Frankie Rodriguez, and Colton Ryan deliver standout performances, with Ryan's portrayal of jilted quarterback Gerry turning a jealous-rival storyline into one of the season's most humorous and unhinged elements.
- Critics note the series successfully balances comedy with drama, avoiding a "sophomore slump" while exploring the ethical implications of maintaining a deception that was never intended to last this long.
- Despite Powell and Waldron mapping out a three-season arc, Hulu has not yet renewed the show for a third season; Powell has other projects lined up, including The Comeback King and The Great Beyond.
