13 Nov
Summary
- Will Ferrell suffered a minor injury off set, delaying filming of his new Netflix golf comedy
- The injury was not serious, but prevented Ferrell from filming scenes this week
- Producers have temporarily rearranged the schedule while Ferrell recovers
According to reports, actor Will Ferrell has temporarily stepped away from filming his upcoming Netflix golf comedy series due to a minor injury sustained off set. The 10-episode, untitled series centers on Ferrell's character, Lonnie "The Hawk" Hawkins, a larger-than-life fictional golf legend.
Production sources indicate that Ferrell recently suffered an injury, though the exact details of how and where it occurred are unclear. While the injury was not serious, it was enough to prevent Ferrell from safely or comfortably filming the scenes scheduled this week at the Bicycle Casino near Los Angeles.
In response, producers have temporarily rearranged the production schedule to accommodate Ferrell's recovery. The expectation is that Ferrell will be back on set very soon, once he has been cleared to return and resume filming.
Despite the brief delay, the injury is reported to be minor, and the Netflix series is still on track to move forward as planned. Fans of Ferrell and the upcoming golf comedy can look forward to seeing the actor return to the set in the near future.
