Hulu’s upcoming comedy series Chad Powers looks poised to deliver a mix of humor and heart, based on its newly released trailer. The trailer highlights Glen Powell in a role that leans into both physical comedy and offbeat charm.
Powell plays Russ Holliday, a former college quarterback whose career went sideways. To get a fresh start, he adopts the outrageous persona of “Chad Powers” and joins a struggling small-town football team. The trailer emphasizes the hilarity of his disguise—from exaggerated gestures to awkward attempts at fitting in—showcasing Powell’s willingness to push himself into comic territory.
Supporting actors, notably Steve Zahn as the befuddled coach, contribute to the trailer’s rhythm, providing a perfect foil to Powell’s antics. Co-created by Powell and Michael Waldron (Loki), the series blends underdog sports themes with broad comedy, promising warmth alongside the laughs.
The show premieres on September 30, 2025, on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+, launching with two episodes before continuing weekly. Judging from the trailer, Chad Powers could be one of the season’s most entertaining surprises, combining absurd humor with surprisingly relatable character moments.
