EXCLUSIVE: Saturday Night Live alum John Higgins has been cast in a recurring role for Season 2 of Apple TV‘s golf comedy series Stick, starring and executive produced by Owen Wilson.
Created by Jason Keller, Stick is described as a heartfelt, feel-good sports comedy about a found family and their relationships set within the world of golf as it has never been shown before.
Higgins joins the the returning ensemble cast led by Wilson, Peter Dager, Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño, Lilli Kay, Timothy Olyphant and Judy Greer, along with recently announced guest star Billy Zane.
In season one, 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 while working at an Indiana sporting goods store, Pryce hedges his bets, and future, entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom named Santi (Dager).
Hailing from Apple Studios, 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, Christopher Moynihan, Bill Callahan, and Jaffar Mahmood.
