“Comedian Will Ferrell returns to the sports‑comedy genre with "The Hawk," a Netflix series about former world‑number‑one golfer Lonnie Hawkins attempting a comeback and a Career Grand Slam. Co‑created with Harper Steele and Chris Henchy, the show features Jimmy Tatro as Hawkins' son, Luke Wilson as his rival, Molly Shannon as his ex‑wife, and Fortune Feimster as his caddy. The series debuted at the top of Netflix’s U.S. and Canada charts, but critical response has been poor, holding a 29% Rotten Tomatoes score. Reviewers cite thin jokes and an overstretched premise, noting that the original creative team changed during development.”

“Netflix has added a fresh sitcom to its lineup titled The Hawk, featuring veteran comedians Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon in the lead roles. The series follows two mismatched characters navigating absurd situations at a small-town newspaper, blending slapstick humor with satirical commentary. The cast guide confirms that Ferrell portrays the overconfident editor-in-chief while Shannon plays his skeptical co‑producer. Supporting actors include a rotating roster of guest stars portraying quirky townsfolk. The show debuted this month and is slated for weekly releases throughout its first season.”
