Thursday is here, and this July 16 slate brings a strong mix of comedy, documentary, and thriller options across the major streaming platforms. Whether you're in the mood for Will Ferrell's return to television, an intimate fashion doc from Sofia Coppola, or a solid mystery thriller, there's something worth your time today.

The Hawk — Netflix's Will Ferrell Golf Comedy

The biggest release of the day is The Hawk, Netflix's new comedy series starring Will Ferrell as Lonnie "The Hawk" Hawkins, a former world No. 1 golfer who refuses to accept his career is over. Two decades past his prime, The Hawk is determined to make one last run at a major championship — much to the chagrin of his ex-wife (Molly Shannon), his pro-golfer son Lance (Jimmy Tatro), and his own aging body.

Created by Will Ferrell, Harper Steele, and Chris Henchy, the series comes from Gloria Sanchez Productions (Ferrell's company behind Hustlers and Booksmart) and T-Street (Rian Johnson's production banner). The ensemble cast also includes Fortune Feimster, Luke Wilson as Ferrell's rival Golden Fisk, Chris Parnell, and Katelyn Tarver. Jonathan Watson directs. All eight episodes drop today on Netflix.

Marc by Sofia — Max's Fashion Documentary

For a sharp change of pace, Max debuts Marc by Sofia, an A24 documentary portrait of fashion designer Marc Jacobs, directed by his longtime friend Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation, Marie Antoinette). Framed around Jacobs' preparation for a major fashion show, the film offers an intimate, collage-style look at his creative process, his influences, and his charmingly self-deprecating personality. It currently holds a 74% on Rotten Tomatoes and is a compelling watch for fashion enthusiasts and documentary fans alike.
