September 17, 2026 – This isn’t just a show about golf — it’s a celebration of life going gloriously off course. In the six-part documentary series, A Course Called Ireland, Bill Murray and author Tom Coyne play their way across some of Ireland's most legendary golf courses. But somewhere between the first tee and the final pint, the journey veers into an unexpected portrait of Ireland, the people who give it its soul, and of Bill Murray himself. A Course Called Ireland will premiere Sunday, October 25 on Paramount+.
Each thirty minute episode follows Murray and friends across some of the island’s most breathtaking fairways. Joined by the extended Murray family, including Joel and John Murray, celebrity friends Chris O’Dowd, Joanne McNally, and Jason Kelce, and long-time golfing companion Tom Coyne, A Course Called Ireland is a hilarious and unpredictable love letter to the game of golf. The series captures candid, unscripted moments woven with the wit, warmth, and wonder of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
