EXCLUSIVE: Billy Zane (Titanic) has joined the recurring cast of Apple TV‘s golf comedy Stick for its upcoming second season. The series stars and is executive produced by Owen Wilson and created by Jason Keller.
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: Marc Maron as Pryce’s friend Mitts, Mariana Treviño as Santi’s mom Elena, and Lilli Kay as bartender-turned-caddy Zero.

As we recently announced, Timothy Olyphant and Judy Greer were upped to series regulars for Season 2. 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.
Zane is represented by Paradigm Talent Agency and attorney Jared Bloch.
