Glen Powell's "touching" hit comedy series with 100% rating is one to binge-watch tonight
Glen Powell returns as Russ Holliday in all six episodes, and the sports comedy now has a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score from seven reviews.
- On Thursday, September 3, the second season of Chad Powers premiered on Disney Plus in the UK and Hulu in the US, starring Glen Powell as Russ Holliday, a former quarterback attempting an "unlikely comeback."
- To revive his stalled career, the disgraced athlete adopts the secret identity of Chad Powers; as he gains increased exposure, the line between his two identities "begins to blur," complicating his redemption arc.
- Critics praised the series, which holds a 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Vulture noting, "Freed from the burden of having to introduce its preposterous setup, the show can indulge its freakier impulses, finally arriving at the place it always seemed to want to be."
- Director Michael Waldron attributed Powell's improved on-field performance to his intense physical preparation from recent action roles, saying he and Powell share a "symbiotic" vision for the character.
- Balancing his comedy career with high-profile projects, Powell is preparing to play Lou Gehrig in a Richard Linklater biopic, describing himself as "in the trenches already" to master the baseball legend's lefty swing.
