‘Chad Powers’ Adds Gillian Jacobs & More Stars for Season 2: Everything We Know So Far

Chad Powers Season 1 may have ended in 2025, but filming has already wrapped on Season 2, according to showrunner Michael Waldron, and new casting has officially been unveiled for the Glen Powell-led Hulu comedy. Additionally, the streamer has already shared a first look at Powell’s titular character back in action.

Powell reprises his role as disgraced footballer Russ Holliday, a.k.a. Chad Powers, for another shot at glory. As fans saw, the series left its titular character’s fate in limbo after [Spoiler] Ricky (Perry Mattfeld) uncovered his true identity. While the cast had expressed hope for the show’s future (after all, six episodes isn’t nearly enough), Season 2’s renewal surely thrilled the team behind this comedy as well as its fans. Below, we’re breaking down everything we know about Chad Powers Season 2 so far.

Has Chad Powers been renewed for Season 2?

Chad Powers was renewed for Season 2 in late 2025, after interest from talent and creatives indicated there was a plan to continue the series should it get a green light from Hulu. Thankfully, fans will get a chance to see what they have cooking up behind the scenes as the show moves forward in continuing Russ Holliday’s story.

What has been said about Chad Powers Season 2?

Series co-creator and showrunner Michael Waldron hinted that Season 2 ideas already existed when TV Insider caught up with him. “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 teases. “I hope audiences will respond, and we’ll get to see where it all goes.”

Has Chad Powers Season 2 started filming?

Chad Powers has officially wrapped Season 2 filming, according to Waldron, who posted to his Instagram Story. The showrunner shared an image of feet on bleachers with the caption “That’s a wrap.” He also put the song, “This Year’s Love” by David Gray, over the image. What that may mean is for fans to decode as we await the arrival of Season 2 episodes. The wrap comes only a couple of months after the show’s official account teased that production had started, meaning there was a quick turnaround time.

When will Chad Powers Season 2 premiere?

Chad Powers Season 2 doesn’t currently have a premiere date, but considering filming has wrapped, we’ll keep our fingers crossed that a release date isn’t far behind. Stay tuned for any updates.

What would Chad Powers Season 2 be about?

Chad Powers Season 1 concluded with a major cliffhanger as [Spoiler] Ricky was torn about publicly exposing Russ after learning he’d lied about his true identity. In turn, Russ threatened that by exposing his involvement, Ricky would jeopardize the entire football season and her dad, Coach Hudson’s (Steve Zahn) reputation. While no official logline for Season 2 has been released, we’d imagine the next chapter would likely pick up where things left off, but keep an eye out for any news on that end.
