Everything We Know So Far About Will Ferrell’s ‘The Hawk’ Season 2

Will Ferrell just teed off on his first major television comedy, and fans are already wondering if Lonnie ‘The Hawk’ Hawkins gets another swing at glory. ‘The Hawk’ dropped its entire first season on Netflix on July 16, 2026, and the golf comedy is already generating serious buzz among subscribers looking for their next binge.

The series follows Lonnie ‘The Hawk’ Hawkins, once the top golfer in the world back in 2004, as he attempts an improbable career Grand Slam comeback decades after his prime while struggling to recapture his magic late in his career, refusing to believe he’s anything other than one stroke away from golf’s greatest comeback. With the season now streaming in full, attention has quickly shifted to whether Netflix will bring Lonnie back for another round.

‘The Hawk’ Season 2 Renewal Status

As of right now, there is no official word from Netflix confirming a second season of ‘The Hawk.’ As of June 2026, Netflix had not yet renewed the series for a second season, and that remains the case following the show’s premiere. This is standard practice for the streamer, which typically waits several weeks after a debut to evaluate performance before greenlighting more episodes.

That said, industry watchers are already feeling optimistic about the show’s chances. While The Hawk season 2 has yet to be confirmed, all signs point to Will Ferrell’s new Netflix series becoming one of the streamer’s biggest hits of summer 2026.

The comedy is also expected to perform well in the charts right out of the gate, with The Hawk projected to be the number one new Netflix show in the U.S. its debut weekend, though it faces stiff competition from other major titles already sitting near the top of the platform.

Renewal decisions for Netflix originals almost always hinge on viewership numbers in the crucial first 28 days, so it may still be weeks before an official announcement arrives one way or another. Given the show’s starry pedigree and the current appetite for sports comedies, a pickup would not be a shock if the numbers hold up.

‘The Hawk’ Season 1 Ending Explained

Season 1 wraps with Lonnie facing off against both his old rival Golden Fisk and his own son Lance in the tour playoffs. Golden Fisk is eliminated early, leaving father and son to face each other, but Lonnie is left in a dilemma after Lance claims he owes money to a dangerous gambling ring in Las Vegas and will be killed if he loses.

The finale delivers a twist that reframes the entire father son dynamic. It turns out Lance was playing mind games with his father, using Lonnie’s own manipulative tactics against him, and there were never any real death threats from mobsters. It is a fitting bit of poetic justice for a show all about a man who cannot stop scheming his way through life.

The domestic side of the story shifts too. After Lonnie’s surprisingly selfless decision to let Lance win, Stacy breaks things off with her partner Radford, suggesting her feelings for Lonnie may be resurfacing. Meanwhile, Lonnie decides to keep his caddy Sam on for what comes next, a small detail that leaves the door wide open for future episodes if the show continues.

What Could Happen in ‘The Hawk’ Season 2

Since Netflix has not confirmed anything official yet, everything about a potential second season is pure speculation at this point. Based on how Season 1 ends, a follow up season would likely dig deeper into the fractured but healing relationship between Lonnie and Lance, especially now that the son has proven he can out maneuver his own father.

There is also plenty of room to explore the rekindled tension between Lonnie and Stacy, particularly with Radford now out of the picture. A love triangle style storyline could easily fuel another ten episodes of chaos, especially given how much the show leans into messy family dynamics for its comedy.

On the golf side, a second season would presumably follow Lonnie chasing the final leg of his career Grand Slam, since the show’s entire premise is built around his refusal to accept reality and quest for one more major championship. Expect returning rivals like Golden Fisk and Anton to keep causing trouble, along with plenty of new embarrassing public disasters in typical Ferrell fashion.

‘The Hawk’ Cast and Creative Team

The series comes from an accomplished trio behind the camera. The Hawk was created by Will Ferrell, Harper Steele, and Chris Henchy, with Ferrell starring alongside Molly Shannon. The project has a long history, having originally been announced in 2023 as a golf league drama before evolving through a title change and cast overhaul.

Ferrell leads the ensemble as Lonnie, with Jimmy Tatro playing his son Lance and Molly Shannon as his ex wife Stacy. The cast also includes Chris Parnell and Luke Wilson as Golden Fisk, rounding out a stacked comedic lineup. Fortune Feimster appears as Lonnie’s caddy Sam, and Kieth David plays the late Old Henry in flashback material tied to the season’s emotional core.

This marks a notable shift for Ferrell professionally. The Hawk is Ferrell’s first television comedy, following a film career built on movies like Talladega Nights and Eurovision Song Contest, giving him more room to stretch a single character’s meltdown across a full season. Production is handled by Gloria Sanchez Productions and T-Street, the same banners behind several of Ferrell’s prior comedic projects.

Now that Lonnie’s chaotic first comeback attempt is in the books, do you think he actually deserves one more shot at that elusive Grand Slam, or has this golf legend finally swung his last club?
