Chad Powers Season 2: What to Expect from Glen Powell’s Hilarious Return
While Chad Powers Season 1 wrapped up in 2025, fans are in luck! Filming for Season 2 has already concluded, according to showrunner Michael Waldron. This exciting update signals the return of the critically acclaimed Hulu comedy starring Glen Powell. We’ve even gotten a first glimpse of Powell reprising his role as the unforgettable Russ Holliday, a.k.a. Chad Powers, as he embarks on another quest for gridiron glory.
As viewers recall, the first season ended on a major cliffhanger, leaving Chad’s fate uncertain after Ricky (Perry Mattfeld) discovered his true identity. The cast and crew expressed strong hopes for a continuation, and thankfully, Hulu delivered! Six episodes simply weren’t enough to contain the comedic brilliance of Chad Powers.
What We Know About Season 2
The renewal for Season 2 came late in 2025, fueled by significant interest from talent and creatives. Hulu recognized the potential for a continued story, and fans are eagerly anticipating the next chapter in Russ Holliday’s journey.
Series co-creator and showrunner Michael Waldron shared with TV Insider that ideas for Season 2 were already brewing during the initial success of the show. “We’ve got a lot of ideas about where to take it, and how it will all wrap up, so hopefully we get to take the story the whole way,” Waldron teased. “I hope audiences will respond, and we’ll get to see where it all goes.”
Filming is Complete!
In a recent Instagram Story post, Waldron announced that Season 2 filming has officially wrapped. A simple image of feet on bleachers, accompanied by David Gray’s “This Year’s Love,” left fans to decipher the meaning as they await the new episodes. This quick turnaround – production started just a couple of months prior – suggests a relatively swift path to release.
When Can We Expect the Premiere?
Currently, there’s no official premiere date for Chad Powers Season 2. However, with filming completed, hopes are high that an announcement is on the horizon. Stay tuned for updates!
What About the Storyline?
Season 1 concluded with Ricky grappling with the decision of whether to expose Russ’s deception, knowing it could jeopardize the football season and Coach Hudson’s (Steve Zahn) reputation. Season 2 will likely pick up directly from this dramatic cliffhanger.
Will the Original Cast Return?
Fans can expect to see Glen Powell, Perry Mattfeld, and Steve Zahn reprise their roles. We’re also hoping for the return of other beloved characters, including Wynn Everett, Quentin Plair, Colton Ryan, Toby Huss, and Clayne Crawford. Keep an eye out for casting news as more details emerge.
