Bill Murray isn’t just reuniting with fans this fall — he’s taking them on a golf course road trip through Ireland. The trailer for A Course Called Ireland, a six-part documentary series, has dropped, revealing a laid-back, heartfelt journey across the island’s most iconic fairways.

Premiering on Sunday, October 25, the series streams on Paramount+ in the US and BBC in the UK. It follows Murray and longtime friend Tom Coyne as they play their way through some of Ireland’s most storied courses, accompanied by Joel and John Murray, Chris O’Dowd, Joanne McNally, Jason Kelce, and others. The show is described as a celebration of life going gloriously off course, not just about golf, but about connection, memory, and the quiet magic of place.

Inspired by Coyne’s New York Times bestseller of the same name, the series was developed by Casey Scharf and Morgan Roberts, with Chris Cottam directing. Executive producers include Jesse Sisgold, Jon Weinbach, Greg Groggel, Jason T. Reed, Kieran Doherty, and Matthew Worthy. Stellify Media and Skydance Sports produced it, with commissioning from BBC Northern Ireland and the BBC Factual Entertainment team led by Catherine Catton and Eddie Doyle.

While the premise sounds like a whimsical travelogue, the tone leans into authenticity. The press release emphasizes candid, unscripted moments. The kind that only come when you’re playing golf with your brother, sharing pints with locals, and letting the journey unfold without a map. There’s no grand narrative, just Murray being Murray: dry-witted, present, and occasionally lost in thought.

The series is set to debut on October 23 on Paramount+, though the official premiere date cited across sources is October 25. This slight discrepancy may reflect regional rollout differences, but the core message remains clear: if you love Bill Murray, or even just want to see someone laugh at a bad swing in front of a sea view, this one’s for you.

It’s not a film. Not a comedy. Not a sports doc. It’s something softer, a quiet ode to friendship, heritage, and the joy of a round played slowly, with people who matter.

And yes, there are pints involved.
