The hit sports comedy Chad Powers has been one of Hulu and Disney’s freshest surprises this year — a light-hearted, character-driven gem with a dash of American football madness and a whole lot of disguise-fuelled chaos.
Fans are already wondering: is there more to come, or has Russ Holliday’s wild double life run its course?
Let’s break down what’s really going on with Season 2.

| Chad Powers Season 2 Update: What’s Next for Russ Holliday’s Double Life? |
What’s Chad Powers About Again?
In case you missed it, Chad Powers follows Russ Holliday — once a golden boy of college football until one disastrous moment cost him everything.
Years later, desperate to redeem himself, he reinvents his identity as “Chad Powers” — fake nose, dodgy wig, new teeth, the lot — to secretly try out for a struggling football team, the South Georgia Catfish.
It’s absurd, hilarious, and oddly heartfelt.
Beneath all the slapstick lies a story about regret, redemption, and the lengths people go to chase a lost dream.
Plus, it’s loaded with witty writing and pitch-perfect performances that made it one of the most unexpectedly solid comedy launches this year.
So, Has Season 2 Been Confirmed?
As of now, Chad Powers hasn’t been officially renewed for a second season by Disney or Hulu.
That doesn’t mean it’s doomed, though — far from it.
The first season’s buzz has been strong, with a decent critic response and a rising IMDb popularity score that kept it floating among the top 30 TV comedies for weeks after release.
Disney’s renewal decisions usually come down to a mix of numbers — viewership, engagement, and how many people actually finish the season.
Since Chad Powers isn’t listed as a “limited series”, the door’s wide open for a continuation if those figures hold up.
Right now, it’s just a waiting game.
Some shows get renewals announced within days; others take months to get the green light.
But considering the solid reaction and the cliffhanger ending, the odds look promising.
What Could Chad Powers Season 2 Look Like?
If Chad Powers does return, expect the story to dig deeper into Russ’s messy double life and his relationships — both romantic and otherwise.
The Season 1 finale left things in a pretty tense spot, especially with the romantic subplot that flipped expectations at the last moment.
There’s still a lot of unfinished business between Russ, Ricky, and the people he deceived.
We’d also likely see the same creative team back in the driver’s seat to maintain the show’s distinctive tone — equal parts absurd and heartfelt.
The cast would almost certainly return too, especially with how neatly their arcs could evolve in a follow-up.
As for structure, Season 2 would probably stick to the same 6-episode format — short, punchy, and binge-friendly.
Disney hasn’t dropped any official production hints yet, but if renewal happens soon, a late 2026 release window could be realistic.
Our Prediction
All signs point to a good chance of renewal.
The show’s got a strong audience, plenty of story left to tell, and enough comedic spark to justify a second outing.
Still, Disney and Hulu can be unpredictable — and not every fan-favourite gets a fair shot.
For now, we’ll just have to cross our fingers and wait for official word.
