Will Ferrell in "The Hawk."
Watch Next

Between 2025's Happy Gilmore 2 and the Owen Wilson-led Apple TV series Stick, golf comedies are having a moment. Now, Netflix and Will Ferrell are getting in on the game with the upcoming series The Hawk.

Creator Ferrell stars as Lonnie "The Hawk" Hawkins. He was the world's top golfer in 2004, but his career has since lost its magic. His son Lance (Jimmy Tatro) has since taken on the mantle of golf's golden boy, while his ex-wife Stacy (Molly Shannon) believes Lonnie's golfing days are done. But Lonnie's ready for the greatest comeback in golf history: He just needs one more major win to finish out his golf Grand Slam and cement his legacy as a legend.

To help him on his quest for glory, Hawk will need the help of Lance, Stacy, Lance's fiancée Natalie (Katelyn Tarver), and new caddy Sam (Fortune Feimster). His journey won't be without foes, as he'll have to face down rivals like fellow golfer Golden Fisk (Luke Wilson), PGA Tour board member Anton (Chris Parnell), and Stacy's new boyfriend Radford (David Hornsby).

Netflix's first teaser for The Hawk unveils Ferrell in all his golfing glory, but that's not all. The streamer has released two more teasers on Instagram. Watch all three to meet Lonnie for yourself.

The Hawk premieres this summer on Netflix.
