Chad Powers Season 2 Release Date Locked In — Mark Your Calendars
Cameras are rolling on Chad Powers Season 2, the clearest sign yet that a release date is nearing, with the official X account confirming production kicked off on January 7, 2026.
Good news for the fake QB who became very real TV: Chad Powers is officially back on the field. Not metaphorically. Cameras are rolling, and the show is aiming to keep its once-a-year rhythm instead of making fans wait forever between snaps.
Season 2 is filming right now
On January 7, 2026, the official @chadpowershulu account on X told fans to put their game face on and confirmed Season 2 is in production. The new episodes will stream on Hulu and also via Hulu on Disney+.
When to expect it
Showrunner Michael Waldron said back in October 2025 that the goal was to drop the next season around the same time the first one did. Season 1 aired in 2025, so do the math and you land on late 2026, likely October, assuming the schedule holds.
If we make season 2 it will come out at roughly the same time next year that this season did, nobody wants y'all to have to wait years for this s--t.
The plan is three seasons, on purpose
Waldron has been clear about the shape of the story: three seasons is the ideal number. As he put it, the idea is to take the "Catfish" all the way through a full college football season. In other words, there is an endgame, not an endless loop.
Season 2 keeps following Russ Holliday juggling his double life inside college football. Speaking with Deadline, Waldron described the show as tracking Chad through the season in real time, with choices stacking up and consequences sticking. He even name-checked Breaking Bad as an influence for that serialized, cause-and-effect momentum. Not the comparison you expect for a sports comedy, but it tells you how tightly plotted they want this to feel.
Real programs, real names, real Florida
The writers want to fold in actual college programs and notable figures as the show moves forward. Names floated so far: SEC coaches Kirby Smart and Lane Kiffin, plus NFL quarterback Jameis Winston. And Florida is set to be a major backdrop in Season 2 — both for the vibe and the visuals — which fits the show’s bigger, louder look.
Bottom line
No official release date from Hulu yet, but production is up and running and the team is aiming at late 2026. For now: they are filming, the story is headed for a three-season arc, and the world of the show gets more real — and more Florida — from here.
