The “Hawk Tuah Girl,” Haliey Welch, is formally making her debut in the realm of scripted television. The NFL veteran Eli Manning is supporting Glen Powell’s upcoming Hulu comedy, “Chad Powers,” which is scheduled to debut later this year and features an unexpected cameo from the ubiquitous internet sensation.
Welch’s daring shift from viral stardom to mainstream entertainment has sparked both joy and outrage on social media.
She recently joined Glen Powell and the production team in Los Angeles for reshoots, according to sources who spoke to TMZ.
She will show up in a scene where Powell’s character, a prosthetic-clad undercover quarterback, is celebrating getting selected in the XFL draft. Welch blurs the distinction between literary satire and real-life notoriety by playing herself in the scenario.
