Hulu's Surprise Hit "Chad Powers" Captivates Viewers

Hulu is enjoying a strong year, and the first weekend of October has continued that momentum. The streaming service's new original series, "Chad Powers," debuted earlier this week and has already become one of Hulu's most popular shows.

The series follows Russ Holliday, a disgraced former college football quarterback, who decides to reinvent himself as a new student named "Chad Powers." Donning prosthetics and a fake accent, Russ is determined to return to the field and revive his dreams of a professional career, even if it means maintaining an elaborate deception.

Elsewhere on Hulu, viewers can also binge-watch a new true crime miniseries that revisits the controversial 2011 death of Ellen Greenberg. Despite the Philadelphia police deeming her death a suicide, Greenberg's family has long maintained that it was a homicide, citing the extensive wounds on her body. The three-part ABC News series, "Death in Apartment 603: What Happened to Ellen Greenberg?," explores the ongoing investigation and the family's quest for answers.

Additionally, the streaming platform is also offering an unconventional horror film, "The Man in My Basement," starring the ever-creepy Willem Dafoe. The movie follows a wealthy businessman who rents out the basement of an unsuspecting man, only to reveal a far more sinister nature.
