Get ready for an emotional and comedic journey like no other. Will & Harper, the new documentary featuring Will Ferrell and his longtime friend Harper Steele, is set to hit Netflix on September 27, 2024. The film takes viewers on a cross-country road trip, exploring friendship, identity, and personal growth. Over 16 days, the two revisit meaningful locations that have shaped their nearly three-decade-long friendship, driving from New York to LA while reflecting on the past and embracing a new chapter in their lives.
The story behind the documentary is as touching as it gets. Three years ago, while filming another project, Will received an unexpected email from Harper—a writer he first met back in 1995 on his first day at Saturday Night Live. Harper was coming out to him as a trans woman, and this documentary captures their journey as they process this new chapter in their friendship and reintroduce Harper to the country she loves—this time, as her true self.
Directed by Josh Greenbaum and featuring a star-studded lineup of their SNL friends like Seth Meyers, Tina Fey, Kristen Wiig, and more, this heartfelt film promises plenty of laughter, introspection, and, of course, a few tears along the way. The duo’s road trip is filled with honest conversations, new perspectives, and a lot of Pringles as they push past their comfort zones.
Check out the trailer below and get ready to see Will and Harper like never before!
