Will Ferrell‘s upcoming Netflix series set in the world of golf is rounding out its cast.
Variety has learned that Chris Parnell, Katelyn Tarver, and David Hornsby have all joined the comedy show alongside previously announced cast members Ferrell, Molly Shannon, Jimmy Tatro and Fortune Feimster. The show was originally announced in May 2024. Exact plot details are being under wraps, aside from the fact that Ferrell will play a fictional golf legend.
Parnell will play Anton, described as “a PGA Tour board member and all around jerk.” The role marks a reunion for Parnell, Ferrell, and Shannon, as all three were castmates on “Saturday Night Live.” Parnell is also known for his roles on shows like “30 Rock” and for lending his voice to animated series like “Rick and Morty” and “Archer.
Tarver will play Natalie, said to be “a social media influencer and Lance’s (Tatro) extremely supportive fiancée.” Tarver’s past TV credits include the HBO series “Ballers” as well as shows like “Big Time Rush,” “The Secret Life of an American Teenager,” and “Famous in Love.”
Hornsby will play Radford, “a rich southern man who is dating Stacy (Shannon).” Hornsby is best known for his work on “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” on which he serves as writer and executive producer while also appearing in the recurring role of Cricket. Hornsby was also a writer, executive producer, and star of the Apple TV+ comedy series “Mythic Quest,” which recently wrapped up after four seasons.
Parnell is repped by Buchwald and Rise Management. Tarver is repped by Innovative Artists Entertainment, Industry Entertainment, and Myman Greenspan. Hornsby is repped by CAA and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.
Netflix has ordered 10 episodes of the series, which will be Ferrell’s first TV starring role. Ferrell executive produces along with Jessica Elbaum and Alix Taylor for Gloria Sanchez Productions. Rian Johnson, Ram Bergman and Nena Rodrigue are executive producers for T-Street. Chris Henchy, Harper Steele, David Gordon Green and Andrew Guest will serve as executive producers.
