Today, Disney+ announced that Original comedy series “Chad Powers” starring Glen Powell will premiere September 30th exclusively on Disney+ in the UK, with two episodes at launch, followed by one episode weekly.

 

Eight years after an unforgivable mistake nukes his promising college football career, hotshot quarterback Russ Holliday tries to resurrect his dreams by disguising himself as Chad Powers - a talented oddball who walks on to the struggling South Georgia Catfish. Based on the “Eli’s Places” segment from ESPN and Omaha Productions, the half-hour comedy from 20th Television will stream on Disney+ in the UK. Powell and Michael Waldron co-wrote the pilot.

 

The series stars Glen Powell as "Russ Holliday/Chad Powers", Perry Mattfeld as "Ricky", Quentin Plair as "Coach Byrd", Wynn Everett as "Tricia", Frankie A. Rodriguez as "Danny" and Steve Zahn as "Jake Hudson".

 

“Chad Powers” is from co-creators and executive producers Glen Powell and Michael Waldron. Eli Manning serves as executive producer along with Omaha Productions’ Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, Ben Brown and ESPN's Burke Magnus, Brian Lockhart, Kati Fernandez. Waldron and Adam Fasullo are executive producing for Anomaly Pictures. Luvh Rakhe will executive produce and Tony Yacenda will serve as director and executive producer. The series stars Powell, who is also co-creating and executive producing under his production co-banner Barnstorm Productions.

 

Disney+ is available from £4.99 per month – with no hidden costs and the ability to cancel anytime. There’s something for everyone to watch, adding new TV series, blockbuster movies and exclusive Originals throughout the year under its six brands: Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and Star. With a library of entertainment spanning everything from documentaries to critically acclaimed drama, comedy to classic animation. Customers can enjoy anything from ”Abbott Elementary” to FX’s “The Bear“ and “Only Murders in the Building”.


Robust parental controls ensure that Disney+ remains a suitable viewing experience for everyone in the family. Subscribers can set access limits on mature content and create PIN-protected profiles alongside the already existing Junior Mode profiles to give parents and guardians peace of mind.
