If you're trying to make a list of the most bankable new stars of cinema, and you put an age limit of around 40 years old on it, to see who's really part of a new generation of powerful names, Glen Powell has to feature on it. Over the last few years he's gone from a fun background name to a leading actor, with a string of big hits – and now he's in a new Hulu and Disney+ series that looks like it could be supreme fun.
Chad Powers will star Powell as an aspiring college football (the American type, on this occasion) player called Russ Holliday whose plans go up in flames when his selfish attitude throws a championship or game for his team. He's forced into something of a life reset, but can't let the sport go, and comes up with a genuinely zany plan to get back into the game.
