"Eli Manning's 'Chad Powers' Character Gets Hulu Comedy Series Starring Glen Powell"

Hulu has ordered a half-hour comedy series called "Chad Powers" from Glen Powell and Michael Waldron, with Powell set to star and co-create the show. The series is based on the character Chad Powers, created by Eli Manning for his ESPN+ docuseries "Eli’s Places." The show follows a disgraced college quarterback who disguises himself and walks onto a struggling Southern football team. Manning, along with his brother Peyton Manning, will executive produce the series, which marks Powell's first writing venture. Waldron, known for creating "Loki" and writing for Marvel, is also attached to the project. This marks the second major streaming series to be based on a character created for a sports program, following the success of "Ted Lasso."
