The new Hulu series Chad Powers is something I’ve been excited for and now co-creator Michael Waldron broke down the inspiration behind the series. In an interview with TV Insider, Waldron explored who Russ (Glen Powell) is, what movies they pulled from, and more!
During their chat, Waldron, who co-created the series with Powell based on the 2022 Eli Manning sketch for ESPN, shared that there were some obvious choices that inspired them and, frankly? You had me at Bull Durham. “I think that for as much as there’s obvious sports inspirations for the show – stuff like Bull Durham – [we] really looked at things like Mrs. Doubtfire and Tootsie as our biggest inspirations,” he explained.
