Will Ferrell

“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.”

“Comedian Will Ferrell appeared on the fourth hour of NBC's Today with Jenna & Sheinelle to promote his new Netflix series, The Hawk. During a segment called "Put or Dare," Ferrell missed a putt and was challenged to perform celebrity impressions. He delivered a brief impersonation of former President George W. Bush, prompting laughter from co‑host Jenna Bush Hager. The appearance also featured other cast members and highlighted the show's premise about a former golf champion trying for a career Grand Slam.”

“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.”

“Netflix is set to add a variety of new content in July 2026, including films, series, and specials. Highlights include the third installment of the Enola Holmes series, a new movie starring Will Ferrell, and a collection of classic films such as 'Fargo' and 'Nomadland'. The month also features returning series like The Tick and new comedy projects. With a mix of horror, comedy, and drama, the lineup offers something for a wide range of viewers. Additionally, Netflix will continue its Hot Ones specials, featuring popular comedians.”
