How do you come back from social ostracization? Put on some prosthetics and get a new identity. At least, that what Russ Holliday, or Chad Powers, as you know him, did.

"Eight years after an unforgivable mistake nukes his promising college football career, hotshot quarterback Russ Holliday (Glen Powell) tries to resurrect his dreams by disguising himself as Chad Powers — a talented oddball who walks onto the struggling South Georgia Catfish," in Hulu's new sports comedy "Chad Powers."

Powell, who plays the titular characters, told Reuters the sports comedy series, which he also co-created, co-wrote and executive produced with “Rick and Morty” creator Michael Waldron, felt like a huge win because he couldn’t recall seeing many shows about college football.

“We wanted this to be a cinematic, badass football show that everyone who was a fan of college football, professional football, who just likes it or is just interested in it, to recognize it, and go, ‘Wow, that's the real deal,’” Powell told the news outlet.

Here's what to know about "Chad Powers" including the release date, cast and trailer.
