Chad Powers, a half-hour original comedy starring Glen Powell, debuted September 30 on Disney+ in the Philippines with two episodes, followed by new installments released weekly.
Inspired by the “Eli’s Places” segment from ESPN and Omaha Productions, the series follows Russ Holliday, a once-promising college quarterback whose career is derailed by a major mistake. Eight years later, he returns to the game under a new identity — Chad Powers — a quirky walk-on hoping to revive his football dreams with the struggling South Georgia Catfish.
