Jimmy Tatro and Fortune Feimster have been cast as series regulars in Netflix's upcoming Will Ferrell golf comedy.
Tatro will play Lance, the son of Ferrell's character, Lonnie 'The Hawk' Hawkins, who is also a professional golfer.
Feimster will play Sam, a new caddie who becomes a good luck charm.
The 10-episode series will also feature Molly Shannon as Lonnie's ex-wife, Stacy.
Ferrell co-created the series, which is expected to have a more adult-oriented, 'foul-mouthed' tone compared to shows like *Ted Lasso*.
Why this matters: The addition of Tatro and Feimster, both known for their comedic roles, suggests Netflix is aiming for a strong ensemble cast to support Ferrell in his first lead TV comedy role. The show aims to differentiate itself from other sports comedies through its humor.
The new Netflix series, currently untitled but previously known as *Golf*, marks a career milestone for Will Ferrell as his first lead role in a scripted TV comedy. The series follows Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins (Ferrell), a golf legend, and his relationships with his son, ex-wife, and new caddie.

Fortune Feimster, recognized for her roles in *Crushing It*&ref=yanuki.com and *FUBAR*&ref=yanuki.com, will play Sam, a character that may bring a fresh perspective to Ferrell’s character's career.
