The South Georgia Catfish still have a postseason to chase, but their biggest problem may not be on the scoreboard. In the new Chad Powers Season 2 trailer, Glen Powell’s Russ Holliday looks increasingly trapped by the fake identity that helped him get back onto the college football field.
Hulu released the trailer Thursday, giving fans their clearest look yet at a season built around pressure, secrecy, and the very real possibility that Russ’ football comeback could collapse before the Catfish finish their playoff push.
Chad Powers Season 2 Trailer Raises the Stakes for Glen Powell’s Russ Holliday
Season 2 appears to pick up with Russ Holliday still living under the Chad Powers persona, the disguise that lets him play for the South Georgia Catfish while hiding who he really is. That trick may have worked long enough to put the team in the playoff conversation, but the trailer makes one thing clear: the lie is getting harder to protect.
Powell plays the comedy with the same charm that helped turn the premise into such a crowd-pleaser, but the new footage also leans into the anxiety of Russ’ situation. Every win brings more attention. Every highlight makes him harder to ignore. And every person who gets closer to Chad Powers becomes another risk to the secret.
South Georgia Catfish Playoff Run Could Expose the Ruse
The Catfish have a shot at extending their season, but a college football playoff run means brighter lights, tighter scrutiny, and fewer places for Russ to hide. That tension gives Chad Powers Season 2 a bigger engine than simple mistaken-identity comedy.
The trailer suggests the show will keep mixing locker-room chaos, sports-movie energy, and character comedy while pushing Russ toward the question he cannot dodge forever: how long can he keep pretending to be someone else before the entire team pays for it?
For fans of underdog sports stories, the setup is easy to enjoy. The Catfish are fighting for respect. Russ is fighting for a second chance. The problem is that those two goals may not be able to survive together.
Why Chad Powers Season 2 Is a Hulu Comedy to Watch
Glen Powell has been on a major hot streak, and Chad Powers gives him a role that plays directly to his strengths: confident, funny, messy, and just desperate enough to make the disaster feel personal. The Season 2 trailer hints at more physical comedy, more football pressure, and more close calls as Russ tries to keep his fake identity from blowing up.
Hulu’s sports-comedy lane has room for a show that balances absurdity with real stakes, and Chad Powers seems ready to lean harder into both. The more the Catfish win, the more Russ loses control of the story he created.
