Following strong viewership and a cliffhanger finale, the hit football comedy is officially returning with Glen Powell back in the lead role.

Chad Powers Season 2

December 4, 2025: Hulu has officially renewed Chad Powers for Season 2, marking the continuation of one of the platform’s most successful new comedy series. Inspired by the viral Eli Manning alter-ego, the show quickly became a breakout hit, thanks to its blend of heartfelt sports storytelling, sharp humor, and Glen Powell’s standout performances as Russ Holliday — and his undercover persona, Chad Powers.

The renewal follows impressive streaming numbers, strong audience engagement, and a Season 1 finale that left fans eager for more.

The Story Continues After a Dramatic Finale

Season 1 ended on a major cliffhanger, leaving viewers with unresolved questions about Russ’s identity as Chad, the future of the South Georgia Catfish football program, and his complicated dynamic with Ricky, the coach’s daughter.

With Season 2 officially on the way, fans can expect the series to dive deeper into the consequences of Russ’s double life, explore new team challenges, and raise the emotional stakes as the characters navigate success, secrecy, and personal growth.

Glen Powell Returns to Lead the Next Chapter

Glen Powell will reprise his dual role, bringing back the charm, chaos, and comedic timing that made his performance one of the highlights of the show’s debut season. Powell is also returning as a producer, ensuring his influence remains part of the creative direction as the series evolves.

The writing team — including co-creator Michael Waldron — has hinted that Season 2 will take the story in a “darker, more complex” direction while maintaining the humor and heart that define the series.

What to Expect in Season 2

While plot specifics remain under wraps, early insights from the creative team suggest:

More conflict surrounding Russ’s secret identity

Deeper exploration of the college football world

New rivalries, new team drama, and higher stakes

Potential expansion of Chad’s viral persona outside the field

A sharper balance between comedy and heartfelt character arcs

Writers have confirmed they mapped out multiple seasons from the start, meaning Season 2 is part of a longer planned story rather than an unexpected continuation.

Production Timeline and Release Expectations

Although Hulu has confirmed the renewal, a formal premiere date has not yet been announced. Early industry chatter suggests production could begin in early 2026, setting the stage for a potential late 2026 release window. Fans should expect updates once filming schedules lock in and the cast list expands.

A Winning Play for Hulu

The renewal reinforces Hulu’s strategy of investing in character-driven comedies with broad audience appeal. Chad Powers brought a refreshing blend of sports, humor, and emotional depth to the platform — and Season 2 promises to build on that momentum.
