Actor-comedian Ramy Youssef has exited Will Ferrell's untitled Netflix golf comedy over creative differences. Executive producers Josh Rabinowitz and Andy Campagna have also left the project.
Ramy was also an executive producer on the untitled comedy, which would see Ferrell as a golfing legend. The show was under Ramy’s production banner Cairo Cowboy during this period.
The banner has since dropped the show, but continues to have other Netflix shows under its belt, including an upcoming show by Steve Way who is Ramy’s long-time collaborator. Production of the untitled show will now be under Gloria Sanchez productions, with four producers joining after Ramy, Rabinowitz and Campagna’s exit.
Molly Shannon, Will’s fellow former Saturday Night Live, has joined the series as a cast member. Molly was recently seen in Only Murders in the Building and The Other Two. Will has had a long career, spanning Saturday Night Live and several comedy roles in Step Brothers, Anchorman and Greta Gerwig's Barbie.
Ramy is a seasoned stand-up-comedian and writer who is best known for Ramy, an acclaimed show which explores the Muslim-American experience. Last we saw Ramy in the Oscar-nominated Yorgos Lanthimos film Poor Things and Jesse Armstrong's Mountainhead.
