Chad Powers Season 1: Episode Count Revealed And When New Episodes Drop
Kickoff is here for Chad Powers: co-creator and star Glen Powell teams with Michael Waldron on a college gridiron drama following Russ Holliday. Want the game plan? Here’s how many episodes Season 1 packs and when each one drops.
Glen Powell has a new sports drama where he plays a college QB in disguise. Yes, really. If you were wondering how many episodes we’re getting and when they drop, here’s the quick rundown with all the dates, the cast, and where to watch.
What is Chad Powers?
It’s a college football dramedy co-created by Glen Powell and Michael Waldron. Powell also stars. Waldron is the guy behind Loki and Heels, so expect some slick character work tucked into a crowd-pleaser premise. The hook: a once-promising quarterback, Russ Holliday, tanks his career with one brutal on-field mistake, then tries to reboot his life by suiting up as someone else entirely: Chad Powers, a walk-on at a struggling small-college program. It’s absurd in a fun way, and the alter-ego angle gives it that inside-baseball, locker-room-myth vibe.
How many episodes are in Season 1?
Six. The season sticks with Chad as he navigates a new team, new expectations, and the not-insignificant headache of living a double life. Expect a legit character reset arc, not just a gimmick.
