Three former Saturday Night Live cast members who are very familiar with each other, will star in an unnamed Netflix series scheduled to be released in 2026.
Will Ferrell, Chris Parnell, and Molly Shannon are set to be featured in a series that centers on Ferrell as a professional golfer. The show is currently being filmed in Los Angeles.
The three former Studio 8H greats were castmates on SNL during Seasons 24-27. Ferrell and Shannon spent all seven seasons of their tenures on the show together.
Others slated to appear in the unnamed Netflix streaming show are Luke Wilson, who reportedly will play a golf rival for Ferrell. Wilson hosted Season 30, Episode 6 of SNL. Ironically, Wilson’s brother Owen hosted SNL in Season 47 on Others slated to appear in the unnamed Netflix streaming show are Luke Wilson, who reportedly will play a golf rival for Ferrell. Wilson hosted Season 30, Episode 6 of SNL. Ironically, Wilson’s brother Owen (who hosted SNL in Season 47 on October 2, 2021) is currently starring as a professional golfer in “Stick” on Apple TV+.
This would mark the first time Ferrell has been a regular cast member in a scripted series. He’s been a guest on shows such as The Office, but never the subject of a TV or streaming series. He’s been nominated for 20 Emmy Awards, and won six times as an actor and writer.
Since he left SNL where he had an underrated tenure as a cast member, Parnell has been part of an ensemble cast in a series format, most notably on “30 Rock” as Dr. Leo Spaceman. He’s contributed his voice to characters on more than a dozen series, including Family Guy and Rick and Morty.
Shannon has had character roles and guest roles in series previously, such as Will & Grace, Kath & Kim, Seinfeld, and I Love That For You. She’s also done lots of voice work. She earned a Screen Actors Guild award for her appearance on Only Murders in the Building. Shannon has been nominated for an Emmy for three TV series: SNL; Enlightened, and Will & Grace.
