Apple TV+ has officially renewed “Stick“, the heartfelt sports comedy starring Owen Wilson, for a second season—and fans couldn’t be more excited. The announcement comes on the heels of the Season 1 finale, which left viewers eager to see what’s next for Pryce Cahill and his teenage golf protégé, Santi.
“Stick” Season 1 Background
In case you missed it, “Stick” follows Pryce, a once-promising golfer whose career flamed out two decades ago. Now working at a sporting goods store in Indiana, he unexpectedly finds purpose mentoring a troubled young golf prodigy. The series has drawn comparisons to Ted Lasso for its blend of humor, heart, and redemption.
Since premiering June 4, the show has been a hit with audiences and critics alike, quickly becoming one of Apple TV+’s top-performing comedies. It’s praised not only for Wilson’s charming lead performance, but for its touching themes of mentorship, second chances, and the power of community.
Season 2 promises even more character growth and challenges for Pryce and Santi, as their bond deepens and the stakes rise in the competitive golf world. Creator Jason Keller has teased new dynamics and deeper emotional arcs, with the beloved supporting cast—including Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño, and Lilli Kay—returning alongside potential new faces.
Behind the scenes, the show is backed by an impressive creative team, including directors Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton (“Little Miss Sunshine”) and producers like Ben Silverman and Guymon Casady. Real-life golf pros like Collin Morikawa and Keegan Bradley even made cameos in Season 1—raising hopes for more authentic touches in Season 2.
With its winning mix of laughs, life lessons, and love for the game, “Stick” has carved out a special place in the sports comedy genre. And if Season 1 was any indication, Pryce and Santi’s journey is just getting started. “Stick” is streaming on Apple TV+.
