Glen Powell stars in the new series as Russ Holiday and Chad Powers.

Exactly one month from the debut of Hulu’s Chad Powers, viewers are getting their first look at the Eli and Peyton Manning sports comedy.

What’s Happening:

  • Hulu has debuted the first trailer for their upcoming football comedy Chad Powers, starring Glen Powell.
  • The half-hour comedy special, which is produced by NFL duo Eli and Peyton Manning, is based off of a sketch created by Eli for ESPN+.
  • Following a college quarterback named Russ Holiday whose career is cut short due to bad behavior, the player will disguise himself as Chad Powers (Powell) and walk onto a struggling Southern football team.
  • In the new trailer, we get a first look at the stunt that caused Holiday’s career to be shut down.
  • Determined to find his way back to the sport, Holiday has a “Mrs. Doubtfire" transformation into the “ugly" and endearing Chad Powers as he tries out for South Georgia’s new QB.
