Apple TV is heading back to the golf course this November, with Owen Wilson’s sports comedy Stick returning for a second season that puts both of its central golfers under a different kind of pressure.
Stick season two will premiere on November 4, 2026, with its first two episodes, before moving to a weekly release schedule through December 30. Wilson returns as former professional golfer Pryce Cahill alongside Peter Dager as rising talent Santi, while Rhea Seehorn joins the cast in a supporting role as Amanda, Pryce’s new coach.
The first season introduced Pryce as a former pro whose career had fallen apart two decades earlier. With his marriage over and his sporting goods store job gone, he found an unlikely second chance through Santi, a talented but troubled 17-year-old golfer. That mentor-player relationship remains important in season two, although the series is widening its focus as both characters confront what happens after raw potential meets professional expectations.
For Santi, that means moving closer to professional golf and discovering that success brings its own complications. Talent may open doors, but sustaining a career once people expect results is another challenge entirely.
Pryce, meanwhile, is getting a considerably more ambitious storyline. Encouraged by former rival Clark Ross, played by Timothy Olyphant, he decides to attempt a competitive comeback with the aim of becoming the oldest golfer to win a major. It is a deliberately improbable goal, but it also gives the show room to dig further into Pryce’s past and the reasons his original career never matched his early promise.
Seehorn’s Amanda will help guide that comeback, with Marc Maron returning as Pryce’s caddie, Mitts. The established cast also includes Mariana Treviño, Lilli Kay and Judy Greer.
Season two is expanding the ensemble beyond Seehorn. John Higgins, Billy Zane, Rex Linn, Sasha Alexander and Missi Pyle are joining the series, while golf personalities Jim Nantz, Trevor Immelman, Matt Scharff and Dan Rapaport will make guest appearances. Their involvement should help maintain the connection to the real-world golf ecosystem that formed part of the first season’s backdrop.
Created and showrun by Jason Keller, Stick comes from Apple Studios, with Keller and Wilson among its executive producers. The series arrives as sports-based scripted entertainment continues to occupy a larger corner of streaming, particularly when the sport itself serves as a framework for character-driven comedy rather than the sole attraction.
That distinction remains important for Stick. Despite professional golf providing the setting, its second season appears less concerned with tournament mechanics than with aging, ambition and the uncomfortable gap between being told you have potential and actually fulfilling it. Giving Pryce his own competitive target could also prevent the series from simply repeating its mentor-and-prodigy formula.
Whether an aging former pro chasing a major can remain convincing without stretching the show’s grounded qualities will be one of season two’s bigger tests. With Santi facing expectations at one end of his career and Pryce confronting unfinished business at the other, Stick now has two very different versions of sporting pressure to explore.
