Billy Zane Joins Cast of Apple TV+’s Golf Comedy ‘Stick’ for Season 2
Apple TV+ is enhancing the ensemble of its acclaimed golf-themed comedy series, Stick, with the addition of veteran actor Billy Zane for its upcoming second season. Zane, renowned for his roles in Titanic and Twin Peaks, is set to take on a recurring role, bringing his distinctive presence to the show.
Stick debuted to positive reception, featuring Owen Wilson as Pryce Cahill, a former professional golfer whose career was cut short two decades ago. The series follows Cahill’s journey as he mentors a troubled 17-year-old golf prodigy named Santi, portrayed by Peter Dager. The narrative delves into themes of redemption, mentorship, and the formation of unconventional family bonds, all set against the backdrop of the golfing world.
The first season of Stick garnered an impressive 82% average score on Rotten Tomatoes, leading to its renewal for a second season. The addition of Zane to the cast is anticipated to infuse new dynamics into the storyline, though specific details about his character remain under wraps.
In addition to Zane’s inclusion, the series has elevated Judy Greer and Timothy Olyphant to series regulars. Greer, known for her work on The Big Bang Theory, and Olyphant, recognized from Live Free or Die Hard, are expected to bring depth and nuance to the show’s ensemble.
Stick has been likened to other feel-good comedies such as Ted Lasso and Shrinking, resonating with audiences through its heartfelt storytelling and character-driven plots. The series offers a fresh perspective on the world of golf, exploring the sport’s intricacies and the personal stories intertwined with it.
While the second season has been confirmed, Apple TV+ has yet to announce a specific premiere date. Fans eagerly await further updates on the show’s return and the new developments it promises to bring.
