Fans Left Reeling After Cliffhanger Finale
- No New Episode: There will not be a new episode of ‘Chad Powers’ this week. Episode 6, “6TH QUARTER,” was the Season 1 finale.
- Short First Season: The debut season of the Hulu comedy consisted of only six episodes, leaving many viewers wanting more.
- Season 2 Is Not Confirmed: Hulu has not yet officially renewed ‘Chad Powers’ for a second season, leaving the show’s future in limbo.
- Creators Are Ready: Despite the lack of an official renewal, co-creator Michael Waldron confirms that planning for Season 2 is already underway.
After a shocking season finale that left the South Georgia Catfish’s fate hanging in the balance, fans are desperately wondering what’s next for Russ (Glen Powell) and his athletic alter-ego. The final episode left viewers with an agonizing cliffhanger involving a make-or-break game, a major revelation to Ricky (Perry Mattfeld), and a health scare for Coach Hudson (Steve Zahn). But if you were hoping for answers this week, you’re out of luck.
Where is ‘Chad Powers’ Episode 7?
Unfortunately for fans, there is no Episode 7. The first season of the popular Hulu football comedy concluded with its sixth episode, which served as the Season 1 finale. The show’s short, six-episode run caught some viewers by surprise, leaving them to wonder if the story was over for good.
The Agonizing Wait for Season 2 News
As of now, Hulu has not officially announced whether ‘Chad Powers’ will be renewed for a second season. This silence from the streamer has left the show’s dedicated audience feeling anxious after such a compelling cliffhanger.
However, there’s a significant silver lining. Co-creator Michael Waldron has confirmed that the creative team is not only hoping for a renewal but is actively preparing for it. In a recent interview with Decider, Waldron revealed that he and star Glen Powell have ideas mapped out for three potential seasons.
“We always intended to have a cliffhanger,” Waldron stated. “And we’re working on it to try and make sure everything that happens next is is good and fulfilling.”
What a Potential Season 2 Could Look Like
Should Hulu give the green light, Waldron has already teased the exciting new dynamics that would shape the story. The next chapter would immediately address the fallout from the finale, including the result of the big game and Coach Hudson’s recovery.
A New Conspiracy
Crucially, Season 2 would explore the massive shift in Ricky’s involvement now that she knows Russ’s secret. “If we’re lucky enough to get to make a Season 2, what’s clear is that whether she likes it or not, Ricky has been pulled into this conspiracy,” Waldron explained. “So it’s her, Russ, and Danny pulling off Chad Powers. And that’s a whole new, really fun dynamic.”
Fans also won’t have to endure an excruciatingly long wait if the show gets renewed. Waldron emphasized the team’s commitment to a timely return, suggesting that if a renewal comes soon, new episodes could potentially arrive in 2026. For now, fans can only wait and re-stream Season 1 on Hulu.
