Produced by former pro footballers Eli and Peyton Manning (and based a character Eli created for his ESPN+ docuseries “Eli’s Places“) the story follows a quarterback whose showboating tanks his career. When a chance to get back on the gridiron arrives, he plans to hit the tryouts incognito.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Eight years after an unforgivable mistake nukes his promising college football career, hotshot quarterback Russ Holliday tries to resurrect his dreams by disguising himself as Chad Powers – a talented oddball who walks on to the struggling South Georgia Catfish.
Co-starring Perry Mattfeld as Ricky, Quentin Plair as Coach Byrd, Wynn Everett as Tricia Yeager, Frankie A. Rodriguez as Danny, Steve Zahn as Coach Jake Hudson and Toby Huss, “Chad Powers” hits Hulu with two episodes on September 3. After that, you can stream new episodes every Tuesday.
