Updates on Chad Powers season 2 are highly anticipated after the first season ended with a cliffhanger. Glen Powell's character had a tough time living the life of the titular character while hiding his real identity.

However, things turned more complicated than they were by the end of season 1, leaving the viewers wondering about the fate of Russ's sporting career as Chad Powers.

While many wait to know about the release of season 2, Powell shared how fans can make season 2 happen through their efforts. In a conversation with ClutchPoints, he stated:

"You gotta earn your championship, man; you gotta earn it. So, tell everybody to watch Season 1, and hopefully, we’ll get a Season 2.”

As of November 6, 2025, the series has not been officially renewed for a second season. With big revelations and twisting developments shown at the end of the season, there are several points yet to be addressed from Russ/Chad's story. Characters like Ricky and Coach Hudson also had unique journeys throughout the first season, which could further be explored in a potential second season.

For any series to return with another installment, the support of viewers is a significant step. The viewers' reactions and the show's performance determine the fate of the series, and Glen Powell has confirmed the same in the case of Chad Powers season 2.

Speaking to ClutchPoints recently, the lead actor of Chad Powers season 1 revealed that increased viewership may help bring plans for a second season to daylight. Elaborating on this, he said in the interview:

"Well, I think you gotta just tell everybody to watch Season 1 — that's how the world works. You gotta get enough eyeballs on Season 1 to get a Season 2."

Powell's words indicate that fans of the series will have to show their support further to make season 2 happen. Viewers can expect to receive more information about the next season to come out soon.

The team behind the series shares more updates on Chad Powers season 2

While the news on renewal is still awaited, the team behind Chad Powers season 1 has hinted at their plans if season 2 is confirmed for release. Talking about Chad Powers season 2, Powell further shared with ClutchPoints:

"We have a really strong idea of what we'd want to do in Season 2 and 3. We have an amazing arc to the whole journey, but you know that that's up to the people to decide.”

Showrunner Michael Waldron also shared his thoughts on the release of Chad Powers season 2 in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. He stated:

"We’ve certainly talked about it — talked about a plan. [Hulu] has a sense of where we’d like to take it. Ultimately, we have to see how the show performs, but everybody knows Glen and I want to see this thing through to the end. There’s a lot more story left to tell, so I hope we get to do it."

Adding to it, he further shared:

"When you get to the end of the first season, it feels like we’re just getting started. Ricky is now pulled into this alliance and now we can get into our Empire Strikes Back chapter of this trilogy. I hope we get to keep it going."

The statements by Powell and Waldron hint that preparations are underway for Chad Powers season 2, but the future of the show is still dependent on how the show performs globally.
