EXCLUSIVE: Fans of the Apple TV sports comedy series Stick will see a lot more of Timothy Olyphant and Judy Greer in Season 2. Both have been promoted to series regular roles on the Jason Keller-created show.
Stick is a feel-good sports comedy about a found family and their relationships set within the world of golf. In Season 1, Owen Wilson stars as Pryce Cahill, who goes by the nickname Stick, 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 (Peter Dager).
The series was renewed for a second season in July, with confirmed actors returning: Wilson as Pryce Cahill, Peter Dager as Santi, Marc Maron as Pryce’s friend Mitts, Mariana Treviño as Santi’s mom Elena, and Lilli Kay as bartender-turned-caddy Zero. Olyphant will reprise the role of Clark Ross, Pryce’s rival and former partner, and Greer as Pryce’s ex-wife, Amber-Linn.
The Season 1 finale, “Déjà Vu All Over Again,” hints at that next chapter as Santi flirted with the idea of teaming up with Clark, replacing Pryce. As for Greer’s Amber-Linn and Pryce, there was a scene where the couple addressed their romantic history. Amber-Linn invited Pryce into her hotel room, but he declined.
“In that scene, what Amber-Linn sees is the Pryce that she always wished she had seen years ago when they lost their son,” Keller told Deadline in a post-mortem interview in June. “This was the Pryce that, had he shown up in this way a long time ago, they maybe would have survived their marriage, and they would have stayed together. For many different reasons, Pryce just couldn’t get there.”
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, Christopher Moynihan, Bill Callahan, and Jaffar Mahmood.
Olyphant is repped by UTA. Greer is repped by Artists First, CAA and attorney Fred Toczek.
