Ramy Youssef, Josh Rabinowitz and Andy Campagna have exited as executive producers of Will Ferrell‘s upcoming golf comedy series at Netflix due to creative differences.
Variety understands that the leadership change took place last year. Youssef and Rabinowitz were originally announced as co-showrunners in addition to having created the series with Ferrell, who stars as a fictional gold legend. Campagna was executive producing via Youssef’s Cairo Cowboy production banner. Cairo Cowboy continues to work with Netflix on an untitled living facility series in development with Steve Way, Youssef’s close friend and collaborator.
Separately, Molly Shannon has joined the series in the role of Stacy. The project reunites her with Ferrell, as the two overlapped as “Saturday Night Live” cast members from 1995 to 2001. More recently, she starred in Season 4 of “Only Murders in the Building” on Hulu and all three seasons of HBO Max’s “The Other Two,” with other credits including “I Love That For You” on Showtime; “The White Lotus,” “Enlightened” and “Divorce” on HBO, NBC’s “Will & Grace” revival and Netflix’s “Wet Hot American Summer” limited series.
Up next, Shannon will be seen in the teen road trip comedy film “Driver’s Ed” and Netflix’s film adaptation of the Emily Henry novel “People We Meet on Vacation.” She is repped by UTA, Framework Entertainment and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller, Gellman, Meigs & Fox.
The golf project is executive produced by Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum and Alix Taylor via Gloria Sanchez Productions; Rian Johnson, Ram Bergman and Nena Rodrigue for T-Street; Chris Hench; Harper Steele; David Gordon Green; and Andrew Guest.
