Is There a Chad Powers Season 2? Release Date, Episodes and Where to Watch

Anyone who finished Chad Powers and wondered whether Russ Holliday’s increasingly complicated double life continues does not have to wait for another season. Chad Powers Season 2 is real, and the complete season was released on September 3, 2026. Hulu dropped all six episodes together in the United States, while the series is also available through Disney+ in international markets where Hulu programming is carried.

The quick return gives Glen Powell’s sports comedy another six episodes to push the Chad Powers deception beyond the relatively contained problem Russ created in Season 1. Ricky now knows exactly who is underneath the prosthetics, Chad has become far more famous than Russ expected, and keeping the fictional quarterback alive becomes increasingly difficult as the Catfish move closer to the College Football Playoff.

When Did Chad Powers Season 2 Come Out?

Chad Powers Season 2 premiered on September 3, 2026, less than a year after the first season debuted in September 2025. Unlike shows that spread episodes across several weeks, Hulu released the entire second season on the same day. That means there is no weekly Season 2 release schedule and no additional episode still waiting to arrive.

The decision also makes Season 2 a fairly quick watch. Chad Powers remains a half-hour comedy rather than expanding into hour-long sports drama territory, so viewers can move through Russ’ latest problems without the season becoming unnecessarily stretched. Hulu officially lists the September 3 release as the complete second season.

How Many Episodes Are in Chad Powers Season 2?

Season 2 consists of six episodes, matching the length of Season 1. The numbering continues the show’s football-quarter joke rather than starting again from Episode 1’s naming pattern, with the premiere titled “7th Quarter” and the finale appropriately titled “12th Quarter.”

That structure makes the two seasons feel more like connected halves of the same story than completely separate adventures. Season 1 covered Russ creating Chad, earning a place with the South Georgia Catfish and discovering that his ridiculous disguise could actually give him the second chance he wanted. Season 2 begins with that second chance becoming considerably harder to maintain.

There are now 12 episodes across the first two seasons, making the series relatively easy for new viewers to catch up on before moving into the latest storyline.

What Is Chad Powers Season 2 About?

Season 2 picks up with Chad Powers no longer being an anonymous walk-on quarterback. He has become a star for the South Georgia Catfish, which creates exactly the kind of attention Russ Holliday never wanted when he invented the identity. Every successful game makes Chad more valuable to the football program while also giving reporters, coaches, boosters and teammates more reasons to ask questions about his strange past.

Ricky is particularly important this time because she already knows Chad is Russ. That changes their relationship from the first season, when Russ could keep most of the deception hidden from her. She may not approve of what he has done, but Russ and Danny increasingly need her help if they want Chad to survive long enough to carry the Catfish through the regular season.

Coach Jake Hudson and Gerry also become problems for different reasons. Chad’s increasingly odd behavior makes both men suspicious, while Gerry has plenty of personal motivation to look more closely at the quarterback who effectively replaced him.

Who Returns in Chad Powers Season 2?

Glen Powell returns in the central dual role as Russ Holliday and Chad Powers, once again performing much of the comedy through the enormous difference between Russ’ natural confidence and the awkward personality he constructed for Chad. Powell also remains one of the show’s creators and executive producers alongside Michael Waldron.

Perry Mattfeld returns as Ricky Hudson, while Steve Zahn is back as her father, Coach Jake Hudson. Frankie A. Rodriguez continues as Danny, Russ’ closest accomplice in maintaining the Chad disguise, with Quentin Plair returning as Coach Byrd and Wynn Everett as influential Catfish booster Tricia Yeager. Colton Ryan also remains important as Gerry, whose problems with Chad become much more consequential as the season progresses.

The show continues to have a direct connection to the real football bit that inspired it. Eli Manning and Peyton Manning remain involved as executive producers after Eli’s original Chad Powers disguise on Eli’s Places provided the idea that Powell and Waldron developed into the series.

Where Can You Watch Chad Powers Season 2?

In the United States, Chad Powers Season 2 is streaming on Hulu, where all six episodes are available together. Disney also distributes the series internationally through Disney+ in supported territories, so the exact service displayed can depend on where a viewer lives.

Anyone starting the show for the first time should watch Season 1 before jumping to the new episodes. Season 2 assumes viewers already understand why Russ created Chad Powers, how Danny became involved, what happened between Russ and Ricky, and why discovery of his real identity could destroy much more than his attempt to play football again.

The first season is only six episodes long, so catching up does not require working through several years of television before reaching the new story.

Is Chad Powers Season 2 the Final Season?

Season 2 has not been officially presented as the final season, but Hulu has also not announced a third-season renewal yet. That distinction is important because the new episodes continue Russ Holliday’s story rather than wrapping the series into an unmistakable permanent ending.

Powell and Michael Waldron have previously discussed having a larger plan for Chad Powers, including knowing where they ultimately want Russ’ story to go. Whether they get to complete that plan will depend on Hulu ordering another season.

For now, viewers wondering whether Chad Powers ended after its original six episodes have a much simpler answer. Season 2 is already here, all six new episodes are available, and Russ Holliday’s attempt to keep Chad Powers alive becomes considerably messier once being an unknown quarterback is no longer part of the disguise.
