Apple TV is doubling down on its sports-drama formula with the release of the official trailer for Stick Season 2, the golf series that has drawn comparisons to Ted Lasso for its blend of humor and heart. The streaming service unveiled the first footage this morning, giving fans a glimpse of what's next for Owen Wilson's Pryce Cahill and Timothy Olyphant's Clark Ross.
The show, which premiered its first season in June of last year, quickly became a sleeper hit for Apple TV+, earning praise for its charming performances and feel-good storytelling. Now, more than a year after the Season 1 finale, the series is set to return with new episodes beginning November 4. The first two episodes will drop on premiere day, followed by weekly releases every Wednesday, culminating in the Season 2 finale on December 30.
What's in Store for Season 2?
According to Apple TV's official synopsis, Season 2 finds Santi (played by Peter Dager) taking the next step in his professional golf career, only to realize how much harder the game becomes when talent turns into expectation. Meanwhile, Pryce Cahill, urged on by his former rival Clark Ross, decides to bet on himself and attempt an improbable comeback, aiming to become the oldest golfer ever to win a major championship.
The road back is anything but easy. Pryce must confront the reasons he never lived up to his early potential, all while working with a new coach, Amanda (Rhea Seehorn), and his trusted caddie, Mitts (Marc Maron). The season promises to explore themes of redemption, self-belief, and the relentless pursuit of a dream, all set against the backdrop of the competitive golf world.
Cast and Crew
Owen Wilson returns not only as a star but also as a producer, alongside series creator Jason Keller. The ensemble cast for Season 2 includes Rhea Seehorn, Peter Dager, Marc Maron, Mariana Trevino, Lilli Kay, and Judy Greer, ensuring a mix of familiar faces and new dynamics.
Apple TV has been making waves with its original programming, from the sci-fi hits Silo and Dark Matter to the recently concluded Ted Lasso, which wrapped its fourth season this week. While the fate of Ted Lasso remains uncertain, Stick seems poised to fill the void for viewers craving uplifting sports stories with a comedic twist.
If you haven't caught up yet, the first season of Stick is available to stream on Apple TV+. And for more on the streaming landscape, check out our coverage of John Cena's Matchbox movie hitting the platform this week, or dive into the latest trailer for The Institute.
