This week (February 20th), Apple TV+ offered fans a first look at Stick, a new golf comedy series starring and executive produced by Owen Wilson and created by Jason Keller. The 10-episode season will make its global debut on the streaming service with three episodes on Wednesday, June 4th, followed by one new episode every Wednesday, through July 23rd.
In Stick, Owen Wilson stars as Pryce Cahill an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer whose career was derailed prematurely 20 years ago. After the collapse of his marriage and getting fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store, Pryce hedges his bets, and future, entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom named Santi (played by Peter Dager). The series is a heartfelt, feel-good comedy about a found family and their relationships set within the world of golf as it has never been shown before.
On top of Wilson (Zoolander, Starsky & Hutch, Wedding Crashers) and Dager (Insidious: The Red Door), the ensemble cast includes Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño, Lilli Kay (Your Honor, Yellowstone), Judy Greer (What Women Want, 13 Going on 30, 27 Dresses) and Timothy Olyphant (Scream 2, Gone In 60 Seconds, The Girl Next Door), and features guest appearances from golf superstars such as Collin Morikawa, Keegan Bradley, Max Homa, Wyndam Clark, and more. Additional cameos include broadcasters Jim Nantz and Trevor Immelman, Good Good’s Matt Scharff, Brad Dalke and Garrett Clark, as well as golf enthusiast Dan Rapaport.
Stick is showrun by Keller, who also serves as executive producer alongside Wilson, Ben Silverman for Propagate Content and Entertainment 360’s Guymon Casady. The series is also executive produced by Howard T. Owens, Rodney Ferrell, Drew Buckley, Lee Eisenberg, Natalie Sandy, Christopher Moynihan, Bill Callahan, Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton. Faris and Dayton serve as directors along with David Dobkin, Jaffar Mahmood, M.J. Delaney and John Hamburg.
