Netflix is set to launch a new scripted TV comedy series starring Will Ferrell, marking his first scripted television comedy endeavor. The series, titled GOLF, has been greenlit for 10 episodes and is co-created by Ferrell, Ramy Youssef, and Josh Rabinowitz. In GOLF, Ferrell will portray a fictional golf legend, with Youssef also having an onscreen role. Youssef and Rabinowitz, known for their work on Hulu's Ramy, will serve as showrunners and executive producers alongside Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum, and Alix Taylor for Gloria Sanchez Productions.
The details of Youssef's character in GOLF are being kept under wraps, with sources indicating that the show will not be a two-hander. The show's title, GOLF, is to be capitalized, though it remains unclear if it stands for an acronym. Rian Johnson, Ram Bergman, and Nena Rodrigue will executive produce for T-Street, while Andy Campagna will executive produce for Cairo Cowboy.
