We’re one step closer to getting ‘Chad Powers’ Season 2
Chad Powers is about to get back onto the field. Hulu renewed the Glen Powell-starring comedy series for a new batch of episodes earlier this fall… and apparently, they’re even closer to hitting our television screens than we might have thought.
A recent report from Collider confirms that Season 2 of Chad Powers will begin filming next month, in January of 2026. On multiple levels, this is an interesting update: it accounts for Powell’s busy schedule (including promoting his upcoming A24 thriller How to Make a Killing) in a pretty surprising way.
And it seems to indicate that Season 2 was written and ready to go long before this renewal news was made official… which is appreciated, given just how long we’ve had to wait for new seasons of other streaming shows. Given the fact that co-creator Michael Waldron is currently working on the scripts for the next two Avengers movies, that lead time is doubly impressive.
Waldron did argue to The Hollywood Reporter that, given the normal tenure of a college football career, “you can’t do 150 episodes of this premise.” But as he explained to The Mary Sue shortly after the Season 1 finale, there are plenty of narrative possibilities to explore in a second season and beyond.
“Yeah, I mean I think just on a practical plot level, Ricky’s part of the conspiracy, whether she likes it or not, and what does that do?” Waldron detailed. “Can there be a love story still? And can Russ continue to grow by being Chad and can Chad grow by Russ, by being inhabited by a little more Russ? And can the Catfish win it all? Is Coach gonna die all that, all sorts of stuff and what’s happening with Tricia and Coach Dobbs? Are they hooking up?”
