As of right now, Hulu has not renewed Chad Powers for Season 2 or cancelled the show.
Showrunner Michael Waldron recently spoke out about the chances of a second season in an interview.
“We’ve certainly talked about it — talked about a plan. [Hulu] has a sense of where we’d like to take it,” he told THR.
“Ultimately, we have to see how the show performs, but everybody knows Glen and I want to see this thing through to the end. There’s a lot more story left to tell, so I hope we get to do it. When you get to the end of the first season, it feels like we’re just getting started. Ricky is now pulled into this alliance and now we can get into our Empire Strikes Back chapter of this trilogy. I hope we get to to keep it going.”
As far as how long the show could go, he added: “The plan that we’ve always had in our minds is, ‘Let’s run this thing through one football season.’ How long is that? It’s at least three seasons of TV. So that’s what I have in my head. I want to see if he can take the Catfish all the way. Breaking Bad was a huge reference for this show — not everybody’s gonna get out alive here. If we were to make another season, it would certainly be about the forces of evil as they might be closing in on our heroes. The more success Chad has, the more threats Russ faces.”
“We haven’t even defined what year he is, technically, eligibility-wise. It’s hard to project out beyond one season. We have to see where the story takes us. We’re always trying to write ourselves in the corners, accelerate that timeline. Could you buy him getting away with it for one season, then doing it again? I don’t know,” he added.
