Get ready for a wild ride, because Hulu’s football comedy Chad Powers is tackling the second half of its debut season, and the stakes are higher than ever! After former college quarterback Russ Holliday (played by the ever-charismatic Glen Powell) pulled off one of the most audacious comebacks in sports history—complete with facial prosthetics and a new identity as Chad Powers—he’s now the backup QB for the South Georgia Catfish. But here’s where it gets controversial: can Russ, aka Chad, keep the momentum going in Episode 4, or is his winning streak about to hit a wall? And this is the part most people miss: the show’s blend of humor and heart has already won over fans, but will it sustain the hype until the finale? Let’s dive in.
According to Hulu, Episode 4 teases a high-stakes adventure: ‘The night before an away game in Knoxville, Russ and Danny must sneak out of the team hotel and go on a dangerous mission behind enemy lines.’ With preview photos hinting at a coach bus and a Spirit Halloween store, fans are buzzing about a potential Halloween-themed twist. Could this be the most iconic episode yet? We’re crossing our fingers—and our football helmets.
But first, the burning question: when can you watch it? After the first two episodes dropped on Tuesday, September 30, Chad Powers settled into a weekly release schedule, airing new episodes every Tuesday until the October 28 finale. Episode 4, titled ‘4TH QUARTER,’ premieres on Tuesday, October 14. However, if you’re on the West Coast, you might catch it as early as Monday, October 6, at 9:00 p.m. PT (or 12:00 a.m. ET on Tuesday). Talk about a time zone advantage!
Here’s the full release schedule to mark on your calendar:
- Episode 1: Tuesday, September 30
- Episode 2: Tuesday, September 30
- Episode 3: Tuesday, October 7
- Episode 4: Tuesday, October 14
- Episode 5: Tuesday, October 21
- Episode 6 (Finale): Tuesday, October 28
With only six episodes in Season 1, every moment counts. But here’s a thought-provoking question: is six episodes enough to tell Russ’s story, or does the show leave us wanting more? Let us know in the comments!
If you’re new to Chad Powers, you’re in luck—the show’s trailer (linked above) gives a hilarious glimpse into Chad’s prosthetics, voice, and football ‘talent.’ Plus, don’t miss the exclusive clip of Glen Powell and Eli Manning discussing the show’s inspiration. Speaking of the cast, alongside Powell, you’ll meet Perry Mattfeld as Ricky, Frankie A. Rodriguez as Danny, and Steve Zahn as Coach Jake Hudson, among others. Each actor brings their A-game, but who’s your favorite character so far?
To watch Chad Powers, you’ll need a Hulu subscription. New to the platform? Start with a 30-day free trial of the basic plan (with ads) for $9.99/month after the trial. If ads aren’t your thing, the ad-free version costs $18.99/month.

As we gear up for Episode 4, one thing’s clear: Chad Powers is more than just a football comedy—it’s a story about second chances, identity, and the lengths we’ll go to chase our dreams. But is Russ’s transformation as Chad Powers a triumph or a temporary fix? That’s for you to decide. So, grab your popcorn, tune in every Tuesday, and join the conversation. Will Russ keep winning, or is his luck about to run out? Let the debate begin!
