Ramy Youssef Exits Will Ferrell’s Netflix Golf Comedy Over Creative Differences; Molly Shannon Joins Cast

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.

Shannon is repped by UTA, Framework Entertainment and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller, Gellman, Meigs & Fox.
