‘Chad Powers’ Is Like ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ For Football And An Incredibly Fun Watch

The series was adapted from Eli Manning’s viral ESPN sketch.

Hot boy of the moment Glen Powell has turned off his Hollywood hottie persona to morph into Chad Powers on Hulu’s new comedy series.

The series, co-created by Powell and Michael Waldron, was adapted from Eli Manning’s viral ESPN sketch. All six episodes are now streaming.

In the sports comedy series, Powell stars as Russ Holliday, a former college football star who has a huge fall from grace at a championship game. (The intro scene of the series is so good that it’ll pull you right in, I promise.) Soon after, Holliday slaps on some prosthetics to become the titular character so he can walk on as quarterback for a new football team, the South Georgia Catfish.

“Chad Powers” also stars Steve Zahn as Coach Jake Hudson, who recruits Chad onto the Catfish, Perry Matfield as Ricky, the coach’s daughter and assistant coach who builds a great relationship with Chad, Wynn Everett as Tricia, the chair of the booster club, and Frankie A. Rodriguez as Danny, Russ’s right-hand man who helps him with the Chad disguise. Rodriguez is particularly great in his role.

Manning also makes a cameo as a coach at Ole Miss.
