Glen Powell's 'Chad Powers' Comedy Series to Debut on Hulu
Imagine a football star, Russ, whose career is going downhill.
He decides to pretend to be someone else, Chad Powers, to join a new team and make a comeback.
This is a comedy show based on a funny skit where someone pretended to be a different person.
The trailer was shown during a big basketball game, and shows Russ getting made fun of online.
He wears a wig and a fake nose to look like Chad.
It's about Russ trying to prove he's still got what it takes to play football, even if it means pretending to be someone else!
