Chad Powers
"Two identities. One icon. Zero shame."
Overview
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.
The premise centers on the absurdity of a disgraced college quarterback attempting a comeback by shedding his identity. Glen Powell steps into the role of an athlete trading a high profile for the anonymity of a prosthetics-heavy disguise. The transformation highlights the thin line between desperation and talent in the high-stakes world of amateur sports.
The comedy draws its tension from the absurdity of the football program at South Georgia Catfish. By hiding in plain sight as an eccentric walk-on, the protagonist creates a situation where his professional past constantly threatens to collide with his new, strange persona. The show focuses on the discomfort of reinvention rather than the glory of the game.
