Football and humor become intertwined in the new series “Chad Powers.” On the brink of its eagerly awaited release on Hulu, the show’s ensemble gathered for a “green” carpet premiere held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
“Chad Powers” stars Glen Powell playing the lead in this sports comedy, embodying a quarterback who must literally adopt a new persona to restart his college football journey.
“He was an overconfident, conceited youngster who messed up and is now attempting to rebuild his life. It’s a story many can connect with, regardless of their path,” remarked actor Toby Huss.
Powell, one of the show’s creators, attended the debut with his entire family, while also praising his colleagues for their contributions in shaping this character.

Glen Powell and Steve Zahn say the driving force behind the production of “Chad Powers” was their passion for college football.
“It revolves around assembling a championship-caliber team,” Powell stated. “I’m genuinely proud of this cast and crew for delivering outstanding performances every day.”
Peyton Manning, a two-time Super Bowl champion, serves as an executive producer for the series. Interestingly, he even assisted on set with, of all tasks, snapping.
“You kind of hold your hands like this, he kind of held his hand in an awkward position, and I’m like you’ve got to fix those hands, Glen!” Manning said.
Powell wasn’t the only one with an arm. Actress Perry Mattfeld says she also perfected her quarterbacking form with a little help from her husband, USC legend Mark Sanchez. But she still needs work on the football lingo.
“I wanted to make sure I could spiral before I could get on set,” said Mattfeld.
Sanchez jumped in with a correction: “Just say throw.”
“Chad Powers” will premiere on Hulu on Sept. 30, and the cast is promising captivating football, and even more compelling characters and plenty of heart and humor.
Touchdown! Hulu released the new trailer for “Chad Powers,” starring Glen Powell. The 6-part series premieres September 30 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Hulu and this ABC station.
