Hold onto your helmets, football fans and comedy enthusiasts alike—the buzz around Hulu’s Chad Powers is electric, but here’s the twist: not everyone is convinced Chad’s ‘catfish’ strategy will pay off in the end. Will he rise to stardom, or will his disguise crumble under the pressure? Let’s dive into the details and find out what’s next for this quirky, prosthetics-clad quarterback.
Following an unexpectedly dramatic cameo by Hawk Tuah, the two-episode premiere of Chad Powers introduced us to Russ Holliday (Glen Powell), a former college QB who undergoes a jaw-dropping transformation. With facial prosthetics and a new identity, Russ becomes Chad Powers, an aspiring quarterback trying out for the South Georgia Catfish. While he makes the team, Episode 2 dropped a bombshell: Coach Hudson (Steve Zahn) didn’t choose Chad as the starting QB. Now, this is where it gets controversial—will Chad’s unconventional approach backfire, or will it be the key to his success? Episode 3 promises to explore this tension as Chad and his teammate Ricky (Perry Mattfeld) try to turn the tide during a losing game against Ole Miss. But here’s the burning question: Can Chad’s deception truly lead to glory, or is he setting himself up for a spectacular fall?
According to Hulu, the official synopsis for Episode 3 teases: ‘Stuck on the sidelines together, Chad and Ricky team up and try to save the day.’ But will their efforts be enough? And more importantly, is Chad’s charade sustainable, or is it just a matter of time before the truth comes out? We’ll have to tune in to find out—but not before we break down everything you need to know about the show’s release schedule, cast, and how to watch.
