There is a specific kind of Will Ferrell character — the man who peaked years ago, refuses to acknowledge it, and turns his denial into everyone else’s problem. Ron Burgundy. Ricky Bobby. And now Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins, a golf legend on the back nine of his career who decides the only sensible response to fading relevance is one more shot at a major. It’s familiar Ferrell territory, and the golf setting — all forced quiet, blazers and manicured egos — is a fine sandbox for a man who has built a career on being loud in rooms that demand decorum.
Where to Watch The Hawk in the UAE
The Hawk streams on Netflix in the UAE. It’s a subscription title, so once you’re signed in to a Netflix plan, all 10 episodes are yours to stream at no extra rental or purchase cost — there’s nothing to buy or rent separately here. Beyond that, current UAE plan pricing and trial details weren’t confirmed in our research, so check Netflix directly for the plan that suits you.
The Trailer
The trailer leans into what you’d hope for: Ferrell in golf-club finery, taking a dignified sport far less seriously than the people around him would like. Have a look before you commit an evening.
What Is It About?
Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins is a golf legend running out of runway. Rather than retire gracefully, he chases one final major — and, as the setup promises, “drags everyone he loves into the chaos.” That last phrase is the whole engine of the show: this is a comedy about a self-absorbed talent whose ambitions become a wrecking ball for his family and friends. It’s a pure comedy play, with no pretensions to prestige-drama seriousness, and the pleasure will live or die on whether Ferrell’s brand of committed delusion still lands for you. If you enjoy watching him refuse to read the room, this is built for exactly that.
How Many Episodes Is It?
The Hawk is a single season of 10 episodes, with Season 1 dated 2026 on TMDB. It’s a self-contained comedy series rather than a film — enough room to let the ensemble breathe across a full stretch of episodes without overstaying its welcome.
The Cast
The headline is Will Ferrell as Lonnie, doing what he does best — a man whose confidence has long outlived his justification for it. The smart casting move is pairing him with Molly Shannon as Stacy; the two are old SNL sparring partners, and that shared comic shorthand is exactly the kind of chemistry a show like this needs at its centre. Luke Wilson turns up as a rival with the wonderfully absurd name Golden Fisk, Jimmy Tatro plays Lance, and Fortune Feimster is Sam — all reliable comic hands. Add Chris Parnell as Anton and David Hornsby as Radford and you’ve got a deep bench of people who know how to sell a joke, with Katelyn Tarver, Gabriel Hogan and Aida Osman rounding out the ensemble.
Good to Know
Is it kid-friendly?
No. The Hawk is rated 18+ in the UAE, which makes it an adults-only comedy rather than family viewing.
Is it free to watch?
It’s included with a Netflix subscription, so there’s no separate rental or purchase fee — but you do need an active Netflix plan to watch it.
How many episodes are there?
One season of 10 episodes, all available on Netflix.
The Verdict
The Hawk is Will Ferrell playing to his strengths — a delusional former great refusing to bow out — and reuniting him with Molly Shannon gives the whole thing a comic foundation you can trust. If you’ve laughed at his overconfident men before, a golf-world version across 10 episodes is an easy yes. If that formula has worn thin for you, this won’t be the thing that converts you back.
