It’s been a while since we’ve seen Will Farrell play a major role on TV, but he finally found a project worthy of his time. The famous comedian will headline the upcoming golf comedy series, being developed by T-Street and Gloria Sanchez Productions.
This project is still in the early stages of development and Deadline reports it revolves “around a professional golfer who becomes the face of a controversial new league competing with the PGA.” The series clearly draws inspiration from real life, offering a fictional take on the controversial LIV Golf startup.
This project is right in Farrell’s wheelhouse, since he already has several sports comedies under his belt, including Blades of Glory and Semi-Pro. He also happens to be a huge fan of golf, having hosted the fundraising event The Will Powered Golf Classic for two decades.
In addition to playing the lead role, Ferrell will executive produce the project alongside Jessica Elbaum for Gloria Sanchez Productions. Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman are also on board as executive producers via their T-Street banner.
Ferrell most recently starred in the Apple TV+ series The Shrink Next Door and the holiday comedy Spirited alongside Ryan Reynolds, and we’ll soon get to see him in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.
