Ferrell plays Lonnie Hawkins, the number one golfer of 2004, who now finds himself struggling through the final years of his career. While his body tells him it’s time to retire, Lonnie refuses to believe his legendary run is over. Determined to win one last major championship and complete golf’s elusive Grand Slam, he becomes obsessed with proving he still has greatness left in him. The teaser showcases Ferrell fully embracing the role with his signature mix of over-the-top confidence, emotional vulnerability, and absurd comedic timing.
The story becomes even more complicated as Lonnie’s personal life begins clashing with his comeback dreams. His ex-wife and his son Lance — now golf’s rising superstar — believe his career is finished, creating emotional tension both on and off the course. The series also features an impressive comedic cast including Molly Shannon, Jimmy Tatro, Fortune Feimster, Luke Wilson, Chris Parnell, Katelyn Tarver, and David Hornsby, promising a strong blend of chaos, satire, and heartfelt comedy.
The Hawk is created and written by Will Ferrell alongside longtime collaborator Chris Henchy. The teaser already hints at a hilarious underdog story filled with sports clichés, ego battles, awkward family dynamics, and classic Ferrell-style humor. With golf serving as the backdrop for a redemption story packed with comedy and emotion, the series could become one of Netflix’s biggest comedy hits of the year. The Hawk is set to premiere on July 16, 2026.
