Owen Wilson's 'Stick' Returns to Apple TV for a Season 2 Comeback

Season 2 of 'Stick' puts a familiar question to a familiar character: can a washed-up golfer still play? Apple TV's comedy returns today, Wednesday, November 4, 2026, with two episodes, and the rest of the season arrives weekly through the end of December. Owen Wilson is back as Pryce Cahill, and this time he's trying to make a competitive comeback on the course rather than just helping someone else get there.

What the second season changes

Season 1 was built around a discovery. Cahill, a former pro who sold clubs and gave lessons at a driving range, spotted Santi Wheeler, a gifted teenager, and bet his future on him. He sold his house to fund Santi's career, then hit the road in an RV with Santi, Santi's mother Elena, his old friend and former caddy Mitts, and Zero Duffy, a club bartender who became a caddy. The show's own description calls it a found-family story, and the road trip was the engine of the first season.

Season 2 shifts the weight. Cahill is persuaded to play again, and he's bringing some new faces onto his squad. The biggest addition is Rhea Seehorn, who joins the cast as his coach. Peter Dager, Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño and Timothy Olyphant return. Here's the thing: a comeback story needs a coach who can push back, and Seehorn's role looks built to do exactly that. Cahill has spent a season being the one with the big plan, so having someone who sees his flaws clearly could give the new episodes a different rhythm.

Olyphant is the other key piece to watch. His character, Clark Ross, was a recurring presence in Season 1 and is a series regular now. The show's sharpest material has always been the back-and-forth between Cahill and his former on-course rival, and a regular role gives that dynamic room to develop. Ross and Cahill are meant to be a verbal sparring match with a possible reconciliation underneath it, and that's a tricky balance for a comedy to hold across ten-plus episodes. If the writing keeps the jabs funny without letting the warmth feel forced, that's where Season 2 will earn its keep.

The show's premise and why it works for golf fans

The series is a sports comedy created by Jason Keller, with Wilson starring and executive producing. The show describes Cahill as an over-the-hill ex-pro whose career was derailed about 20 years ago. After his marriage fell apart and he was working at an Indiana sporting goods store, he stakes his future on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom. That's a setup with plenty of room for comedy, but the golf is what separates it from a generic underdog story.

Shows that use a real sport as a backdrop tend to succeed when they treat the sport's details as character material. Range sessions, swing coaching, caddy relationships and the grind of minor-league tournaments are all mundane to the people who live them, and that's exactly why they can produce good scenes. Season 2's coaching angle leans directly into that texture. For golf fans, the appeal is seeing the sport portrayed as a daily job with money stress and bad days, not a glossy highlight reel.

Where to watch and what it costs

Apple TV's standard subscription is $14.99 (U.S.) per month, with a seven-day free trial for new subscribers, according to Apple's listing. The service is available through the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV 4K, Apple Vision Pro and Mac. It also runs on smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, VIZIO, TCL and others, on Roku and Amazon Fire TV devices, on Chromecast with Google TV, and on PlayStation and Xbox consoles.

Apple is also running a limited-time offer. Eligible customers who buy and activate a new iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or Mac can get three months of Apple TV free, under the terms Apple publishes. If you're thinking about a hardware purchase anyway, that bundle changes the math on whether a single season of a comedy is worth a subscription. If you're not, the seven-day trial is the cheaper way to test whether the show's tone works for you before the first episode finishes.

For anyone checking which devices can stream the show, Apple's support guide to watching Apple TV lists the full set of supported hardware. Apple's terms are the place to confirm the offer's details, since eligibility rules and availability can differ by region and purchase type.

What to watch for next

Two episodes on day one is a sensible way to launch a weekly show, and it gives viewers a reason to start immediately. The real test will come in the middle weeks, when the comeback plot has to carry weight beyond the premise. I'll be watching whether Seehorn's coaching role and Olyphant's expanded part shift the show's center away from the road-trip found family, or whether they simply add fresh sparring partners to the same formula. Either approach could work, but the second season has to prove it can grow past the setup that made Season 1 charming.

For now, the practical takeaway is simple: if you liked the first season's mix of golf and warmth, Season 2 is ready to watch today, with new episodes each week through December.
