Glen Powell has landed a new role! The actor is set to star, co-create, and executive produce the new Hulu series, Chad Powers.

In the half-hour comedy, “When bad behavior nukes hotshot QB Russ Holliday’s college career, he disguises himself and walks onto a struggling Southern football team as the talented, affable Chad Powers.

Powell and Waldron co-wrote the pilot.”

In a statement from Hulu, Powell and his co-creator Michael Waldron said, “We’re both diehard college football fans. When we saw Eli [Manning] as Chad Powers, we knew that was the way into a big, fun story about this world. We’re excited to be part of this team, and can’t wait to get Chad in the game. Think fast, run fast.”
