The last few years have been nothing short of a massive success for Chace Crawford, who has garnered widespread acclaim thanks to his role as The Deep in the Prime Video series, The Boys. Crawford was around for years before that, though, featuring in other movies like The Covenant, the 2006 cult classic fantasy epic led by Sebastian Stan and Taylor Kitsch. Crawford recently joked during an interview with Collider that he often teases his co-stars about doing a reboot film, but he’s fully aware that it’s unlikely to happen. Crawford also made an appearance in the famous 100th episode of Glee, but when recently asked if he would have a role in the reboot, he played coy, which is likely due to the project still being in such an early stage of development.
Even if Chace Crawford doesn’t return to the world of Glee all these years later, he still has a new project set to keep him busy now that The Boys is finished. We’re talking, of course, about The Land, the new football show penned by Dan Fogelman. Fogelman is widely known and loved for writing all episodes of This Is Us, but he’s also the scribe behind Hulu’s twisty sci-fi thriller, Paradise, which is returning next year for its third and final season. This afternoon, Hulu released the first official trailer for The Land after debuting the first images from the show last week. During a recent interview with Collider, Crawford teased that the show was like “Friday Night Lights meets Succession,” which is the best possible pitch for fans who love football and prestige dramas.
What Is ‘The Land’ About?
In addition to Chace Crawford, The Land also stars Christopher Meloni, who is best known for his work as Elliot Stabler in the Law & Order universe. Additional cast members for the series include Mandy Moore, Sam Corlett, Tanner Zagarino, Chloe Bennet, Bridget Moynahan, William H. Macy, Omar Epps. Hulu has also released a fresh synopsis for the series along with the new trailer. It reads as follows:
“After several disappointing seasons, Cleveland Browns’ head coach Danny Roarke has one last chance to turn around his football team. His fate rests on a newly drafted Ohio State quarterback — who just happens to be his son. Meanwhile, the owner, Hal Durkin, must decide which of his two daughters is best equipped to take over the team. The Land is the story of two families, in which the high-stakes drama plays out not only on the field but also in the front offices of this NFL franchise, as a loyal fanbase wants a winning season now … or face big changes if they don’t.”
Check out the first trailer from The Land.
