“The Hawk” Cast Guide: Who’s Who In Will Ferrell’s Golf Comedy

Will Ferrell steps onto the fairway for his first-ever comedy series, and Netflix’s “The Hawk” brings together a stacked lineup of comedic talent for one chaotic late-career comeback story.

The Premise: One Last Shot At Glory

“The Hawk” follows Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins, once the world’s number one golfer back in 2004, now well past his prime and chasing one final major to complete golf’s career Grand Slam. His body says retire, but his ego insists otherwise — pulling everyone he loves into the chaos of his comeback attempt.

The Family Rivalry At The Heart Of It

What elevates the show beyond a simple golf spoof is the family tension woven throughout: Lonnie’s own son Lance has become the sport’s rising star, turning his father’s comeback into as much a personal rivalry as a professional one. Meanwhile, Fortune Feimster’s Sam becomes an unlikely emotional anchor, forming a genuine friendship with Lonnie despite knowing almost nothing about the sport herself.

This marks Ferrell’s first lead role in a television comedy series. He’s said the extended format let him explore character arcs that a 90-minute film simply couldn’t fit. Created by Ferrell alongside Harper Steele and Chris Henchy, “The Hawk” dropped all its episodes on Netflix on July 16, 2026.
