AI Summary

Co‑creator Michael Waldron explained that Season 2 of the sports comedy “Chad Powers” was shaped by influences such as “Breaking Bad,” “The Dark Knight,” and “Uncut Gems.” The series follows Glen Powell’s character, a disgraced football player who uses special‑effects makeup to masquerade as a southern, kindly college athlete and secure a walk‑on quarterback spot on a Georgia team. The second season premiered on Thursday and was released with a larger budget and expanded scope than the first. Waldron noted that the show’s new tone and visual style were directly inspired by the cited films and television series.
