Glen Powell is Chad Powers – and We’re Already Hooked!

If you’ve been stuck in the endless loop of Bluey and kiddie shows, Disney+ has just dropped your new guilty pleasure. Chad Powers brings together the swagger of an underdog sports drama with the hilarity of an identity swap.

And leading the chaos? The effortlessly charming Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick).

So, What’s the Story?

Powell plays Russ Holliday, a former college football golden boy whose career was derailed by a bad decision nearly a decade ago.

Determined to claw his way back, Russ reinvents himself as Chad Powers—a long-haired, moustached walk-on with questionable skills but undeniable swagger.

Joining the struggling South Georgia Catfish, Chad’s arrival turns the team upside down, blending sports grit with laugh-out-loud comedy.

Meet the Cast

Alongside Powell’s double-duty performance as Russ/Chad, the cast includes:

• 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

Adding to the star power, Eli Manning and Peyton Manning are executive producers, bringing plenty of authentic football flavour (and insider jokes) to the mix.

Release Date & Episodes

The first two episodes drop on Tuesday, 30 September 2025, exclusively on Disney+, with new episodes following every Tuesday. Perfect timing for when the kids are in bed and you’ve poured that cheeky glass of wine.

Is It Family-Friendly?

While Chad Powers is aimed squarely at adults, Disney+’s parental controls make it easy to keep viewing tailored to your family. From PIN-protected profiles to Junior Mode, you can relax knowing this one’s for you, not the kids.
