Renewed Or Cancelled?
Full Swing is the next sport documentary from the creators of Drive to Survive, one that focuses exclusively on the world of golf. After finishing the whole series, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know:
What is Full Swing Season 1 about?
Earlier this year we had Break Point, which took a while to find its bearings before actually delivering on-pitch entertainment. It wasn’t mind-blowing but it was a solid experimental venture into a different sport altogether. Full Swing then is an interesting beast by comparison. Not only does it embody some of the better elements of Drive to Survive, it also adds elements of Break Point too.
The show takes on a similar approach as those aforementioned series, this time focusing exclusively on the world of golf. Across the 8 episodes, the focus is split between two different competitors on each of the four major golf tournaments, The Masters, PGA Championship, US Open and the Open Championship. Along the way there are play-off matches and even practice rounds to flesh out what’s predominantly a human drama at its heart.
If you’re not familiar with golf though, Full Swing does go some way to explain what’s going on. You may be confused as to why the leaderboard features minus numbers, which is eventually explained, while specific slang terms within golf – bogeys, eagles, over and under par etc. – are work to ease casuals into the world of golf.
We have extensive coverage of Full Swing across the site, including a full season review. You can find that HERE!
Has Full Swing been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, Full Swing has been renewed for a second season. Given the nature of the show’s content, that’s perhaps unsurprising given the success of Drive to Survive.
Generally, Netflix and other streamers gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate. The completion rate is one of the most important metrics though, but it’s not something publicly shared with audiences.
So far, Full Swing has had a pretty good reaction from critics and audiences alike, and it’s clear that there’s a decent number of viewers watching through this one.
Given the way this show is set up, that’s great news for golfing fans who can expect more to come in the future.
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about season 2 at this point, given Netflix have only just officially green-lit a sequel. However, we do know that the second season will come sometime in 2024, covering the new golf tour. Expect plenty more drama and following a variety of different golfers too.
There’s more news on this over at Golf, who have the big scoop on this renewal.

Golfs answer on Netflix to the NFL answer on the NFL HBO Hard Knocks BUT FAR BETTER !!!! The inside look at Golf ! Best sports documentary I’ve ever seen and I’m in my 60 s and been playing since I was 11 . Just Fabulous
What a show. Have loved every episode getting to know the ins and outs of all the players and especially liked Rory’s episode. Shows how much he cares and appreciates the games he’s played for 40 years. Cant wait for Tigers episode.
Oh I really hope it does renew!! I really loved how we got to see a different side to the sport and its players. So much heart behind each episode. Can’t wait to see the next episodes… hint hint!! I live in Augusta so…. GOLF NATION around here!
