Hulu has officially renewed the popular comedy series "Chad Powers" for a second season, much to the delight of fans. Glen Powell is set to reprise his role as the titular character in the upcoming installment, continuing the show's unique premise.

To revive his prospects and learn valuable life lessons, Holliday adopts the persona of Chad Powers, complete with prosthetics and a wig, aiming to secure a walk-on spot with the South Georgia Catfish. The supporting cast includes notable actors like Steve Zahn and Perry Mattfeld.
