Hulu has released a teaser trailer for ‘Chad Powers’ featuring Glen Powell portraying the character Chad Powers in the highly anticipated Hulu series.

The promising college football career of Russ Holliday (played by Powell) is derailed by his misbehaviour. To make a fresh start, he assumes the persona of Chad Powers and joins a struggling Southern football team, using his talent and amiable personality to make a difference.

Steve Zahn, Toby Huss, Perry Mattfeld, Wynn Everett, Frankie A. Rodriguez, and Quentin Plair co-star in the series based on a character created by Eli Manning for his Epsn+ docuseries ‘Eli’s Places.’

Manning will also executive produce along with his brother Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, Adam Fasullo and Ben Brown.

The comedy series will premiere on Hulu on September 30th with two episodes. New episodes stream weekly on Tuesdays.

Glen Powell turns “extremely ugly” for his upcoming comedy series, Chad Powers. The teaser for Powell’s forthcoming project is out, and it shows the American actor, otherwise known for his good looks and charming personality, donning a fake moustache, curly wigs, and bulky prosthetics to go undercover and join a new football team.

Inspired by Eli Manning’s viral alter ego, the series revolves around Russ Holliday (Glen Powell), a failed college football quarterback who goes ‘disguise mode’ to restart his football career. Going incognito for career, comedy, and witty…very Hannah Montana-ish. Looks like Powell’s coming series is that kind of comedy, Miley Cyrus might want to distance herself from.

Glen Powell is taking on what might be his most challenging performance yet in Chad Powers: playing an “extremely ugly” person.

In Hulu‘s first teaser for the upcoming comedy series, the first two episodes premiering Sept. 30 on the streaming platform, the Golden Globe nominee plays hotshot quarterback Russ Holliday, who disguises himself as the titular football player to join a new team after tanking his own college career.

Debuting during game four of the NBA Finals, the teaser sees Russ getting dragged on social media after dropping the ball during a crucial play.

“Everyone says I’m done with football,” he says in the teaser. “There’s no such thing as bad press.”

Getting fitted for a wig and a prosthetic nose, Powell’s leading jock proclaims, “If I can’t play as Russ, I’ll play as someone else.”

Chad Powerswas born as a successful sketch on Epsn that had Eli Manning wearing bad prosthetics and walking on at Penn State with no one knowing who it was. Now, the idea is getting its very own Hulu series from Michael Waldronstarring Glen Powellas Russ Holliday, a failed quarterback who is trying to get a second chance at it all. Manning is part of the series as an executive producer, and the rest of the cast includes Perry Mattfeld as Ricky, Quentin Plair as Coach Byrd, Wynn Everett as Tricia, Frankie A. Rodriguez as Danny, and Steve Zahn as Jake Hudson. The series is not exactly like the Manning sketch, but it is still very much what the Chad Powers bit feels like.

In the opening scene of Apples Never Fall, Joy Delaney (Annette Bening) takes a leisurely bike ride through West Palm Beach, Florida. She’s got the time, having recently retired after decades of coaching tennis alongside her husband, Stan (Sam Neill). Joy cycles by palm trees and mansions and stops to browse stands of impossibly perfect fruit. But as she passes tennis courts bustling with players, her mouth curves into a wistful frown.

A sense of melancholy nags at the superficial idyll of Joy’s excursion, only to burst into outright dread when we see her bike overturned in the street, its back wheel still spinning and its frame splattered with blood, and Joy nowhere to be found. This scene introduces an alluring air of mystery regarding Joy’s inner life and the nature of her seemingly utopian environment.

Nanjiani spoke to the Variety Awards Circuit podcast about his nomination, what convinced him to do “Welcome to Chippendales” and his sheer ubiquity on the screen. But first, on the Awards Circuit Roundtable,...
