A new golf-themed comedy TV series with Will Ferrell, the actor most known for his hilarious work on Saturday Night Live, will premiere in the autumn. This sitcom will be created by Rian Johnson, Ram Bergman, and Jessica Elbaum’s Gloria Sanchez Productions, making it a significant comedic package.
The unnamed television show, according to Deadline, would focus on a professional golfer portrayed by Ferrell who becomes the face of a contentious new league that will compete with the PGA. Ferrell, who has explored the sports comedy subgenre in films like Semi-Pro and Blades of Glory, is anticipated to contribute his own approach to the new show.
The involvement of T-Street, which is currently riding high on the success of their Peacock comedy mystery series Poker Face, only adds to the excitement. While Johnson will not be writing or directing the series, he will be executive producing alongside Bergman and T-Street’s President of TV Nena Rodrigue.
Adding to the mystique of the new golf-based comedy TV series featuring Will Ferrell is the parody it presents of the ongoing LIV vs PGA drama. The series promises to take a side-splitting and irreverent approach to the topic, with Ferrell’s character becoming the face of a controversial new league that challenges the established PGA.
The comedy is likely to poke fun at the tumultuous events that have unfolded in the world of professional golf over the past year, as LIV Golf has garnered both criticism and attention for its efforts to shake up the sport. Fans of the new series can expect to see a cunning and clever take on the issue that will have them guffawing uncontrollably.
Will Ferrell’s golfing experience and charitable work
In addition to his acting career, Will Ferrell is also an avid golfer who has hosted The Will Powered Golf Classic, a fundraising tournament that benefits Cancer for College, for the past two decades. This charity provides scholarships to cancer survivors. Ferrell has also participated in numerous celebrity golf tournaments and played golf with fellow SNL alum Bill Murray.
According to Collider, fans of Will Ferrell and golf enthusiasts alike have reason to be excited about the upcoming series. With Ferrell’s comedic talent and real-life passion for the sport, the show is sure to be a hit.
While details about the new series are still scarce, fans can look forward to seeing Ferrell on the small screen once again in what promises to be a hilarious and entertaining golf-based comedy. The involvement of Ram Bergman and Rian Johnson’s T-Street Production only adds to the anticipation.
