Will ‘Chad Powers’ Return for a Third Season? Everything We Know

When the final whistle blew on Chad Powers Season 2 – episode six, titled “12th Quarter” – it felt like the series left us hanging on a halftime line‑of‑scrimmage. No surprise twist, just a cliffhanger that practically begged for a sequel.

First things first: the season is short, but it’s complete. Like its predecessor, Season 2 consists of six half‑hour episodes, and this time Hulu dropped them all at once. No weekly drip, just a full‑court press for binge‑watchers.

And no, there isn’t a mysterious Episode 7 lurking somewhere in the vaults. The creators decided six was enough for this arc, so “12th Quarter” is the definitive finale for now.

So, what about a third season? As of the latest word, Hulu hasn’t given a formal renewal green light. That said, co‑creator Michael Waldron has hinted that he and star Glen Powell had a three‑season roadmap in mind. In a recent chat with Decider, Waldron said they’d love to keep the story moving and promised not to make fans wait “forever” for the next six‑episode set.

Critics seem to be on board, too. While Season 1 earned a modest 60 % on Rotten Tomatoes, Season 2 climbed to a sparkling 100 % Certified Fresh rating. The jump suggests the show found its stride, which bodes well for any renewal talks.

If Hulu does give the go‑ahead, we could be looking at a 2027 debut for Season 3 – assuming the production schedule stays tight, as Waldron hinted. Until an official announcement lands, though, the exact premiere date remains a question mark.

In the meantime, you can still catch the whole Catfish saga on Hulu. The platform offers a basic plan with ads for $11.99 a month, or an ad‑free tier at $18.99. Those looking for a bigger bundle can snag Hulu alongside Disney+ (and even Max) for a few dollars more each month.

Keep an eye on Decider for the next update. Whether the Catfish will swim into a third season or stay retired for now, the conversation is far from over.
