Every Will Ferrell Movie Streaming on Netflix That You Need To Watch

Published 01/18/2025, 11:48 PM EST

Netflix has for the longest time boasted about its diversified catalog that provides nearly everything except the cure for screen addiction. The streamer elevated its game when it went from not just simply releasing movies on its platforms but becoming a goldmine of cinema in itself. And it would make no sense for something called the goldmine of cinema to not have movies starring fellow goldmine of cinema, Will Ferrell.

As Netflix redecorates its walls with several iconic additions for 2025, here are all Will Ferrell movies that you can watch on Netflix.

Will & Harper

Miles away from the roles that Will Ferrell is traditionally known for playing, Will & Harper is a documentary showing the actor and his longtime friend, Harper Steele, taking a seventeen-day road trip as Ferrell finds out Steele has come out as a transgender woman.

The courage displayed by Harper Steele, the warmth offered by Will Ferrell, the unbreakable friendship that has weathered storms, and the essence of freedom and love shadowing over it all is what makes this Will Ferrell documentary a must watch on Netflix.

Megamind

Another Will Ferrell spectacle currently gracing Netflix is the 2010 animated action-comedy Megamind, where Ferrell dons the guise of a blue-headed villain with surprising emotional nuance.

While the animation might send some purists clutching their pearls, for Ferrell, it is a liberation, a chance to shed the pesky constraints of flesh and bone that so often limit the far reaches of his comedic genius. 

10 Best Sitcoms Streaming on Netflix That You Must Watch

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

Netflix also harbors the Will Ferrell masterclass Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, a 2004 comedy where Ferrell revels in the absurdity of a 1970s news anchor whose ego is as big as his mustache. The actor plays an over-the-top anchorman, Ron Burgundy, whose throne on television gets threatened when a young reporter enters the scene.

Despite the over-the-top nature, the performance teeters on brilliance, reminding us all that when it comes to comedy, he is, much like Ron Burgundy himself; kind of big deal. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues on Netflix, where Burgundy and his news team hilariously fumble their way into the era of 24-hour cable news, is also available on Netflix.

The Other Guys

In a beautiful marriage of mystery and comedy, Netflix also shelters the Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg starrer, The Other Guys. The movie features a pair of misfit detectives who thrive on paperwork, making for a hilarious curveball when they actually land on a high-profile case.

For Will Ferrell's character, whose idea of a rebellion is a mismatched tie, the events that unfold elicit the most unexpected comedic gigs. The actor's brilliance shines in the tiniest quirks and offbeat line deliveries, proving once again that he can mine comedy gold from even the most mundane moments.

Step Brothers

Netflix also boasts the raucous Step Brothers, a gleefully unhinged comedy starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as two overgrown man-children forced to coexist when their parents marry. In a plot that teeters between absurdity and outright lunacy, Ferrell’s Brennan Huff bickers, tantrums, and schemes his way through sibling rivalry with all the subtlety of a bull in a china shop.

It is a performance that takes immaturity to dazzling new heights, proving once again that Ferrell can wring laughter from even the most juvenile antics.

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga

The delightfully offbeat Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, a spirited comedy that sees Will Ferrell teaming up with Rachel McAdams as an eccentric Icelandic duo chasing their dream of winning the world’s most flamboyant music competition, has also found a cozy home on Netflix. From over-the-top musical numbers to comically bizarre rivalries, the film revels in absurdity.

With its mix of heartfelt ambition and unabashed silliness, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, is a reminder of why Ferrell remains one of comedy’s most reliably entertaining performers and also how he secured his role in the blockbuster, Barbie.

Land of the Lost

Netflix also harbors the outrageously absurd Land of the Lost, a chaotic romp that sees Will Ferrell as Dr. Rick Marshall, a hapless scientist who stumbles into a dimension where dinosaurs roam, lizard men scheme, and logic takes a well-deserved holiday.

Ferrell lumbers through this fever-dream of a plot with his signature blend of clueless bravado and unshakable sincerity, finding comedy in even the most ludicrous moments, making this a must-watch for subscribers of the streamer.
