“The greatest this game has ever seen!” The legend returns! Netflix has revealed their full official trailer for the new Will Ferrell comedy series about golfing titled The Hawk. This 10 episode sports comedy series is actually Ferrell’s first television comedy (we also posted a first look back in March). A follow-up to Adam Sandler’s golf comeback Happy Gilmore 2 last year? This continues to look like an SNL comedy turned into a full series with plenty of absurd golf jokes and endless shenanigans. Worth a watch or not? One of the greatest names in golf history (that you’re somehow only just hearing about), American hero Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins is Will Ferrell’s new original character. Get ready fore the return of an icon –on Netflix streaming this July. The series follows “The Hawk”, 2004’s top golfer, as he struggles to recapture his magic late in his career, refusing to believe he’s anything other than one stroke away from golf’s greatest return. This also features Molly Shannon, Jimmy Tatro, Fortune Feimster, Luke Wilson, Chris Parnell, Katelyn Tarver, and David Hornsby. “He’s a legend and he knows it.” This looks funny but not exactly anything hilarious considering it still just seems like a Happy Gilmore 2 remake already. Check it out below.
Here’s the main official trailer (+ poster) for Netflix’s comedy series The Hawk, direct from YouTube:
