Chad Powers is set to add even more power to the football fever this year. The first season of the football comedy arrived in 2025 and quickly won over fans with its outrageous humor. While the competition continued to raise the temperature on the grid, the show's bizarre and hilarious moments brought a much-needed dose of comic relief. Now, the series is returning for another hilarious ride with Season 2.

If the ending of the first season is any indication, there is plenty to catch up on when Chad Powers returns. While the new trailer has already hinted at more trouble, tension, and chaos, here is everything to know about the Season 2 cast, plot, and release date.

But what is season 2 of Chad Powers about?

The plot of Chad Powers season 2

The first season of Chad Powers follows a disgraced college quarterback, Russ Holliday, played by Glen Powell, who is determined to revive his football dreams. He uses prosthetic makeup to reinvent himself as Chad Powers and joins the South Georgia Catfish. The first season earned praise and was much loved. Following the success, Hulu renewed the series for Season 2 in late 2025.

The first season ended with Chad’s true identity being revealed by Ricky. Season 2 will explore the fallout from the revelation and what happens to Chad after his carefully constructed disguise is exposed. So, there will clearly be more trouble in the upcoming season, which will soon arrive this year. 

The release date of Chad Powers season 2

Hulu has set September 3 as the premiere date for Chad Powers Season 2. September is seemingly the perfect month for the release since some real football action will also kick off at the same time. All six episodes of the new season will be released at once for fans to binge-watch the entire season.
