(L to R) Jimmy Tatro, Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson star in ‘The Hawk.’ Colleen E Hayes/Netflix In the first trailer for the upcoming Netflix series The Hawk, Will Ferrell wants to go out on top. The comedian steps into the role of Lonnie Hawkins, a pro-golfer whose legacy shined a little brighter before he grew older, weirder, and pretty bad at his job. Not wanting to put his glory days behind him just yet, he sets his sights on a comeback for the ages. “I still am a big shot golfer,” he says. “I just need to get my groove back.”
Lonnie has plenty stacked against him, not least of all his own son, who is inching closer to surpassing his status in the golf world — people are even starting to call him The Hawk, a torch that had to have been pried out of his father’s hand. “Stop saying LeBron and Bronny, this isn’t a LeBron and Bronny situation,” his son argues. Lonnie has to lock in if he wants to find his way back to the top, even if just for one last hurrah.
Out July 16, The Hawk also stars Molly Shannon, Jimmy Tatro, Fortune Feimster, Luke Wilson, Chris Parnell, Katelyn Tarver, and David Hornsby.
