Hulu Set To Start Eli Manning’s Chad Powers As A New Series

In an episode of his documentary series “Eli’s Places,” Powers, a former quarterback for the Giants, appeared on televisions across the nation for the first time. He tried out for the Penn State football team by dressing up and going by a new name.

Eli Manning is credited as an executive producer on the show, but sadly, he is not a performer.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, “20th Television, Peyton Manning’s (Eli’s older brother) Omaha Productions, ESPN, and Waldron’s Anomaly Pictures are the show’s producers.

“Waldron and Powell co-wrote the pilot episode and will executive produce with Peyton and Eli Manning; Jamie Horowitz and Ben Brown of Omaha Productions; Anomaly’s Adam Fasullo; and ESPN.”

“We’re both diehard college football fans. When we saw Eli as Chad Powers, we knew that was the way into a big, fun story about this world,” Powell and Waldron said in a joint statement. “We’re excited to be part of this team, and can’t wait to get Chad in the game. Think fast, run fast.”

Manning, his brother Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, Ben Brown, and Omaha Productions’ Ben Brown will executive produce in addition to Powell and Waldron. ESPN and Adam Fasullo of Waldron’s Anomaly Pictures will serve as executive producers. Under his Barnstorm Productions company, Powell will serve as executive producer. The studio is called 20th Television.

Powell will continue to write after this. In the past, he and Richard Linklater co-wrote the screenplay for the action-comedy “Hit Man,” in which Powell starred. It had its theatrical debut at the Venice Film Festival and will hit theaters on May 24. On June 7, it will make its Netflix debut.

Powell most recently acted alongside Sydney Sweeney in the romantic comedy “Anyone But You,” which has taken in close to $200 million at the box office globally. In addition, he is well-known for his parts in the blockbuster sequels “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Hidden Figures” and “Everybody Wants Some.” Additionally, he will play the lead in the much awaited movie “Twisters.”
