Chad Powers Season 2 landed on Hulu September 3 with all 6 episodes at once, and the timeline immediately split into two camps: people who finished it in one sitting and people trying to avoid spoilers from the people who finished it in one sitting.
Robbie Fox fell squarely in the first camp. He knocked out the entire season in one go and came away calling it "hilarious and shockingly intense at times," adding that the show has now delivered 2 great seasons running on what is, on paper, a pretty absurd premise — a grown man going undercover as a freshman walk-on quarterback.
Just finished @chadpowershulu Season 2 in one sitting. Hilarious and shockingly intense at times. This crazy concept has now produced two great seasons of television. Shoutout @michaelwaldron.
Robbie also shouted out Michael Waldron, the show's co-creator and showrunner, who directed several episodes of the new season including the premiere and finale. Waldron's résumé already includes Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, so a sports comedy that's apparently getting more intense in its second year tracks with a guy who knows how to escalate stakes without losing the jokes.
Chicks in the Office got in on the premiere the way Chicks in the Office gets in on everything — by putting the cast on the spot. They pulled the Chad Powers crew out onto a football field and asked for everyone's best impression of the title character, and the results were exactly the blond-wig, mustache chaos you'd hope for.
We asked the cast of ‘Chad Powers’ for their best Chad impression 👀
It's a small bit, but it's the kind of press-tour clip that works because the premise is inherently ridiculous — a disguise so flimsy it should never work is the entire engine of the show, so watching the actual cast lean into the bit is funnier than any scripted scene could be.
With the whole season out at once, don't expect a slow week-to-week rollout of reactions — the discourse is going to move fast, and if Robbie's early read holds up, this is a show that's still finding ways to get better in year 2 instead of coasting on the joke that got it renewed.
