Obviously, everyone has been so excited about Apple TV+ officially renewing Ted Lasso season 4, but the beloved sports comedy isn't the only one about to rule the streaming world. There's another sport comedy coming to our watch lists this fall from movie star leading man of the moment Glen Powell. His highly anticipated series Chad Powers finally has a release date on Hulu.

During Disney's Upfronts presentation on May 13, Hulu revealed that Chad Powers starring Glen Powell premieres on Tuesday, Sept. 30 with its first two episodes. The half-hour comedy series will then continue to drop episodes weekly on Tuesdays. According to IMDb, the first season contains eight episodes, which will bring the season finale to Tuesday, Nov. 11.

The release date for Glen Powell's new Hulu sports comedy series has been revealed. Though best known for playing Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin opposite Tom Cruise in the 2022 blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick and starring alongside Sydney Sweeney in the romantic comedy Anyone But You, Powell has a connection to sports that goes beyond acting, having been a multi-sport athlete and an all-state lacrosse player while attending Westwood High School in Austin, Texas.

As a versatile actor, comedy also has a special place in Powell's acting career, having starred in more than a handful of movies in the genre. After playing the charming but vulnerable Ben in Anyone But You alongside Sweeney, the actor then starred in the dark comedy Hit Man, where he played a college professor who went undercover as a mole.

Twelve months ago, Disney, fighting for space at the TV Upfronts against both Netflix and Amazon for the first time, flexed its muscles with over 150 stars including Emma Stone and Ryan Reynolds.

The Mouse House also had CEO Bob Iger, appearing for the first time in 30 years, highlighting the “radical changes that have transformed the business over the last three decades”.

Iger evidently enjoyed himself last year as he was back on stage with an introduction from Super Bowl winners Patrick Mahomes and Saquon Barkley. “I’ve not seen you since you won the Super Bowl,” he said to the Eagles running back.

Iger kept things brief, pointing out that it had been a “whirlwind few days for our company” with the launch of a theme park in Abu Dhabi – its seventh theme park around the world, as well as news about the new ESPN streaming service.

Anyone But You 2 has gotten an update. The original movie, which was directed by Will Gluck and debuted in 2023, was a modernized adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing that followed resentful exes Bea (Sydney Sweeney) and Ben (Glen Powell) pretending to be in a relationship while at a destination wedding. The Anyone But You box office had an inauspicious beginning when it debuted at No. 4 over Christmas weekend with a $6 million haul against its $25 million budget, but it became a sleeper hit and eventually ballooned to a total of $220 million worldwide.

The newest print edition of Empire magazine featured an interview with Sydney Sweeney, who called in from Barcelona while on a break from the ongoing production of Euphoria season 3. During their conversation, she addressed the status of development on Anyone But You 2, which has not yet been officially greenlit. Sweeney, who was an executive producer on the original movie,...

Owen Wilson is getting his second chance by way of Apple TV+. The actor is leading sports comedy series “Stick,” which he also executive produces. Wilson stars as Pryce Cahill, an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer whose career was derailed 20 years ago amid a scandal. Yet Pryce finds a career resurgence thanks to scouting (and coaching and caddying for) a 17-year-old golf phenom (Peter Dager). The duo might be an unlikely pair on the green, but will this save Pryce both personally and professionally?

The official synopsis reads: “After the collapse of his marriage and getting fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store, Pryce hedges his bets, and future, entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom named Santi (Dager).” The series is billed as being a “heartfelt, feel-good sports comedy about a found family and their relationships set within the world of golf as it has never been shown before.

Haliey Welch, the viral figure who became known as “Hawk Tuah Girl,” is sharing her latest thoughts following the cryptocurrency scandal that led her to disappear from the limelight for several months.

In a recent Vanity Fair interview, Welch addressed questions about the crypto crash in December of her meme coin $Hawk, which led investors to file a lawsuit in New York against its creators. Welch became ubiquitous last summer after her on-the-street interview with Tim & Dee TV in which she described a supposedly surefire way to excite a man in the bedroom.

“I hate that that’s even a thing,” Welch told the publication about the crypto controversy. “Half of those people that done it were, like, my fans. They trusted me, like, guiding them to it. And I don’t know … It really hurt my feelings when it turned out the way it did. I wish it hadn’t have happened.

Glen Powell's star power continues to be on the rise, as the actor is teaming up with comedy icon Judd Apatow for the acclaimed writer/director's new film. Despite acting in titles like Everybody Wants Some and Scream Queens for years, Glen Powell has experienced a surge in wider popularity of late thanks to roles in movies like Top Gun: Maverick, Anyone but You, Hit Man, and Twisters. Powell is already quite busy, with roles in Edgar Wright's remake of The Running Man, the Hulu series Chad Powers, and the thriller Huntington, but it doesn't look like he plans on slowing down anytime soon.

Variety reports that Universal Pictures is fast-tracking an original comedy about a country-western star in free fall from Judd Apatow and Glenn Powell, with both serving as co-writers of the script. Apatow is also set to direct the film, while Powell will star in the movie.

Actor Glen Powell’s calendar just got a little fuller as the Twistersstar has yet another project on deck. Powell, who also starred in 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick, is set to star in a new comedy flick from filmmaker Judd Apatow. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the yet-untitled movie will explore the world of country music.

Universal Pictures has placed the movie, which will star Powell and be co-written by Powell and Apatow, on a fast track. Apatow is set to direct the movie, which will follow a country music star who is experiencing a downward spiral.

Glen Powell’s passion for working with acclaimed directors continues with a buzzy, yet untitled comedy alongside Judd Apatow.

Powell will star in the next film as directed by Apatow in which Powell will portray “a country western star in free fall,” which is giving real “A Star Is Born” vibes. Powell will also co-write the script alongside Apatow, and the project is being fast-tracked by Universal Pictures.

Both Apatow and Powell will also produce the comedy, as will former Universal Pictures President of Production Kevin Misher via his Misher Films banner.

Powell, who previously penned “Hit Man” with auteur Richard Linklater and is writing a Broadway musical with Ryan Murphy, will produce alongside Dan Cohen through their Barnstorm banner’s newly minted first look deal with Universal. Powell first collaborated with Universal for “Twisters,” and his company Barnstorm is also producing the recently announced “The Natural Order” for the studio,...

Months after the meme coin debacle that sent Hailey Welch into internet exile, the Hawk Tuah girl is back in the spotlight, and appears to be rubbing elbows with Hollywood superstar Glen Powell for his new Hulu series, Chad Powers. Welch rose to prominence last year thanks to a video interview that went viral, and she quickly capitalized on her fame by selling merchandise, appearing in public with a ton of celebrities, and starting her own podcast, Talk Tuah. Last December she was accused of performing a pump-and-dump scheme which saw her release a cryptocurrency meme coin that got as high as $500 million before it quickly fell in value, causing many to accuse her of insider trading.

Per TMZ, Welch was spotted on the set of Chad Powers, the new Hulu sports comedy series which stars Powell as Russ Holliday, a disgraced quarterback who disguises himself as the titular character...

We truly live in a mad world, where all it takes to go viral is some adult content and Southern charm. At least that’s how Haliey Welch aka the “Hawk Tuah” girl became an overnight social media sensation. One moment she was a random girl on the street, the next she was selling merch, launching her own crypto.

But that’s not all—recently Haliey Welch made headlines for reportedly spitting her way into Hollywood. As per TMZ-covered rumors, the “Hawk Tuah” girl is said to make a cameo in Glen Powell’s Chad Powers series. Only this time, fans aren’t thrilled to see her. Why? Let’s check out.

Exclusive: 20th Television has closed a first-look deal with Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions to develop and executive produce scripted comedy, drama, adult animation and limited series for linear networks and streamers with an emphasis on content for Disney Entertainment Television platforms.

Omaha already is doing that with Chad Powers, the upcoming 20th TV comedy series starring Glen Powell for Hulu, which the company is producing. The first-look pact with 20th TV, part of Disney TV Studios, expands on that collaboration as well as Manning’s larger relationship with The Disney Company. Omaha has a first-look deal with ESPN for sports-related content. Chad Powers originated as a sketch produced by NFL Films and Omaha that ran on ESPN+ as part of the Eli’s Places series.

“Working with the incredible team at Omaha Productions while developing and filming Chad Powers has been pure joy,” said Karey Burke, President of 20th Television.

The upcoming remake of The Running Man starring Glen Powell just got a major update. Powell took to his personal Instagram to announce that The Running Man has wrapped filming, leaving over seven months of post-production to make its November 7 release date. The Running Man is a remake of the 1987 film of the same name starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, and it is based on the popular novel by Stephen King. While 1987’s The Running Man relied on Schwarzenegger for most of its draw, Glen Powell’s iteration has built a stellar ensemble around him. Powell’s Twisters co-star Katy O’Brian will play a fellow contestant in the film, with Colman Domingo portraying Bobby Thompson and Josh Brolin playing Dan Killian. Lee Pace will also play Evan McCone, with Michael Cera, William H. Macy, and more filling out the rest of the cast in undisclosed roles.

Leatherface may soon be revving the chainsaw back up. Word is that different parties are pursuing a potential reboot of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and one possibility would see Glen Powell in a lead role.

Per Deadline, a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie is in the planning stages at Verve, the company holding the rights to the IP since 2017. There are different pitches reportedly in consideration, including one package that could bring together Powell with filmmaker Jt Mollner and producer Roy Lee. Mollner and Lee recently worked on the horror hit Strange Darling, which holds a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes after its release last year. According to the report, Powell is interested in reading the script if Mollner can get one written, potentially putting him into position as the film's star.

Nothing is set in stone just yet, so there are no guarantees Powell will next be facing off with Leatherface.

As Barry Jenkins plans out his next feature following the release of Mufasa: The Lion King, Glen Powell has signed on to star in his sci-fi movie The Natural Order. Jenkins' 2024 Disney feature explored the origins of Mufasa, as he rises from an orphaned cub to the leader of the Pride Lands and his inevitable falling out with Scar. Alongside his work on Mufasa: The Lion King, Jenkins is a celebrated filmmaker, with both Moonlight and If Beale Street Could Talk winning numerous Academy Awards.

As reported by Deadline, Powell has been cast in Jenkins' adaptation of The Natural Order. Details on the movie's premise are still under tight wraps, but the feature will be developed by Universal Pictures and Barnstorm Productions under Jenkins' first-look agreement with the corporation. The Natural Order will be penned by Coco's Matthew Aldrich, based on the manuscript of his upcoming novel, which centers...

The filmmaker will join the stars of his Paramount Pictures action thriller — Glen Powell, Josh Brolin and Colman Domingo — for CinemaCon’s creative community luncheon scheduled for April 3 inside Caesars Palace’s Octavius Ballroom. The lunch conversation, typically held on the final day of the convention, will be moderated by Rotten Tomatoes editor Jacqueline Coley. Past participants include Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio, Elizabeth Banks, Jerry Bruckheimer, Patty Jenkins and Jon M. Chu.

Jenkins and Aldrich will be adapting from Aldrich’s unpublished manuscript.

Hulu has officially ordered a new comedy series called Not Suitable For Work, created by Mindy Kaling. This half-hour show will focus on a group of young professionals in their 20s trying to balance their careers and personal lives in New York City’s upscale Murray Hill neighborhood.

Kaling, known for hits like Never Have I Ever and The Sex Lives of College Girls, is teaming up again with writer and producer Charlie Grandy (Velma). The series was highly sought after by multiple networks before landing at Hulu.

In addition to this new project, Kaling has also renewed her partnership with Warner Bros. Television Group. She first signed a deal with the studio in 2019, and they moved early to extend their agreement before it expired in May 2025. This means Kaling will continue to develop and produce shows exclusively for Warner Bros. TV.

Kaling has been busy with several successful projects.

Mindy Kaling’s new comedy show, “Not Suitable for Work,” has officially been greenlit at Hulu.

The half-hour, single-camera comedy series, which was previously titled “Murray Hill,” has received a series order at the streamer, Hulu announced Tuesday. The order came about 10 months after the show landed at Hulu following a competitive bidding process.

“Not Suitable for Work” follows five work-obsessed 20somethings striving for professional success and, if they have time, personal happiness in Manhattan’s most glamorous neighborhood, Murray Hill, according to the official logline.

Kaling created the series, and Charlie Grandy is set to serve as showrunner. Kaling and Grandy will executive produce alongside Howard Klein, who executive produces for 3 Arts Entertainment.

“Not Suitable for Work” is produced by Warner Bros. Television, where both Kaling and Grandy are under overall deals.

The news comes as Kaling gears up to launch “Running Point” on Netflix in late February,...

Thandiwe Newton, who starred in HBO’s acclaimed Westworld, and Silo actor Steve Zahn have been swallowed up by Anaconda, Columbia’s comedic reimagining of the 1997 horror movie that launched a mini-franchise.

Selton Mello, who appears in Brazilian awards season hopeful I’m Still Here, and Ione Sky have also joined the feature that stars by Paul Rudd and Jack Black. Mello will be making his English-language debut with the action comedy.

Tom Gormican, who directed the Nicolas Cage meta movie The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, is co-writing with collaborator Kevin Etten and will direct the feature.

The original movie starred Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson, Ice Cube and Jon Voight, and followed a National Geographic film crew hunting for the world’s largest and deadliest snake, only to find the tables turned.

The new story, according to sources, involves a group of friends facing mid-life crises who are remaking their favorite movie from their youth.

Glen Powell’s 2024, in brief: January, “Hit Man” celebrates its U.S. premiere at Sundance; February, “Anyone but You” crosses $200 million at box office; April, the actor is cast in Edgar Wright’s much-hyped “The Running Man”; May, Powell is inducted into the Texas Hall of Fame and tipped to star in J.J. Abrams’ next super-secret film; June, “Hit Man” arrives on Netflix; July, “Twisters” is released to critical acclaim and big box office bucks; August, filming on his Hulu TV series “Chad Powers” kicks off; November, “The Running Man” filming commences in London, Glen Powell lookalike contest takes place in Austin, Texas.

Those are just the highlights.

For many aspiring actors, Hollywood can feel like a game of chance—years of auditions, rejections, and small roles, all in hopes of landing that big break. Everyone dreams of landing that big break, but for Glen Powell, the road to stardom wasn’t exactly a red carpet.
