Staff Writer

We are here for this.

US actor Will Ferrell is set to co-write and star in a new comedy film about the Eurovision singing contest.

As Deadline reports, Ferrell will team with Netflix for the very first time for the project, simply titled Eurovision, which he will write alongside Andrew Steele (Saturday Night Live, The Ladies Man).

The 50-year-old star will also produce the film through his company, Gary Sanchez Productions, and long-time collaborator Adam McKay will serve as executive producer.
