Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon Tee Up for Netflix’s Untitled Golf Comedy

Golf-themed comedy might sound niche, but if Will Ferrell’s past sports-centric roles taught us anything, it’s that hyper-specificity equals hilarity. Think Talladega Nights but with fewer NASCAR cars and more wild mid-swing arguments. According to sources, the 10-episode series will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe even shed a tear over Lonnie Hawkins’ fractured fairway dynamics with ex-wife Stacy. Molly Shannon’s knack for blending humor with vulnerability suggests she’ll help anchor the comedy amidst the ridiculousness.

Plus, we’d bet our last putter that this show lands some fiery guest cameos. Given Netflix’s penchant for surprise star appearances, don’t be shocked if similar comedic heavyweights pop in (looking at you, Chris Kattan, or maybe Kristen Wiig?).

Is the Creative Juice Worth the Squeeze?

Navigating Netflix comedy these days is like playing 18 holes blindfolded. Success is hard-earned—even with Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon at the wheel. Early creative “differences” already saw co-creators Ramy Youssef and Josh Rabinowitz putt their way off the green, with others like Harper Steele stepping in to shake things up. But hey, turmoil and comedy tend to make golf (and showbiz) more interesting!

Still, Ferrell’s career has always been a balancing act between over-the-top humor (Anchorman, Elf) and quieter, more introspective projects (Stranger Than Fiction, anyone?). If Lonnie Hawkins can toe that line while letting Shannon riff as a dynamic, scene-stealing ex, this series could secure Ferrell’s spot and legacy as a contender in the streaming comedy wars.

Don’t Call It Caddyshack 2…Or Do

Can Ferrell’s golf comedy rise above the (golf) cliché and make us laugh like Happy Gilmore’s foul-mouthed tantrums once did? If anyone can get us to care about putting greens and sand traps again, it’s Ferrell and Shannon. Between their chemistry and Netflix’s colossal reach, this series should have no problem showing other streaming comedies who’s boss.

Golf is the perfect realm for Ferrell to flex his comedic creativity again. Throw Molly Shannon’s unpredictable spark into the mix, and you’ve got potential gold. Whether it’ll make us laugh so hard we cry or cringe harder than Ferrell in plaid pants, one thing’s clear: we’ll be tuning in. And if this show doesn’t at least include one extended gag about golfing attire…Netflix, we riot.
