The comedy-drama series "Chad Powers," starring Glen Powell as a disgraced football player who assumes the identity of a southern, kind college athlete, returned for its second season on Hulu.

Waldron aimed for a more cinematic feel and thrilling, romantic moments, pushing the visual ambition of the show. In this season, the plot took a darker turn, featuring Chad facing challenges both on and off the field. Waldron and his team introduced a nemesis for Chad in the form of Colton Ryan's character, Gerry, who was obsessed with uncovering Chad's true identity.
The show also incorporated a "Batcave" like assembly line in the basement, where Chad and Danny worked to maintain their disguise, drawing inspiration from "Breaking Bad." The season aimed to provide the audience with a gripping football story while maintaining strong character development and emotional depth.
