A Saturday Night Live reunion is coming to Netflix. Will Ferrell will reunite with one of his former co-stars in his upcoming Netflix comedy series centered around a fictional golf legend.

Netflix announced, via its Tudum website, that Molly Shannon has joined the untitled comedy series as Stacy. She will appear in all 10 episodes. Shannon and Ferrell's respective times as cast members on SNL almost perfectly sync up, with the two both joining in 1995. However, Shannon left in 2001, while Ferrell didn't depart the hit sketch comedy series until 2002. In the years since SNL, Shannon has starred in the films A Good Person, Promising Young Woman, Other People, Scary Movie 4 and Scary Movie 5, as well as the television series The White Lotus, Divorce, The Other Two, and I Love That For You. She most recently appeared in the fourth season of Hulu's Only Murders in the Building.

Apple TV+’s new sports comedy Stickhas taken over the U.S. streaming charts, per FlixPatrol. It stayed in the #1 spot for the entire week leading up to July 30. In doing so, it managed to beat out some of the platform’s biggest titles, like Severance, The Studio, and even more recent releases like Foundation and Murderbot. The show premiered on June 4 and wrapped up its first season on July 22. Since then, it’s only picked up more attention, helped by strong word of mouth and a solid 82% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

From docuseries describing some of the most iconic moments in history to dramas based on true stories, the world of sports has expanded beyond courts and fields.

Stick is Apple TV+'s latest show for audiences to fall in love with. Starring Owen Wilson, the series follows Pryce (Wilson) as he caddies for a young golfer named Santi (Peter Dager). But their relationship isn't that easy to navigate. Santi's relationship to golf is tied to his father, who only loved him when he was winning, and Pryce has struggled to get back into the sport after the loss of his own son. But the two together are working to make Santi's rise as an amateur pro golfer the best it can be. And now, Collider is excited to share a new exclusive look at the upcoming Season 1, Episode 10 titled "Déjà Vu All Over Again."

Stick tells the story of optimistic ex-professional golfer Pryce Cahill (Owen Wilson), who might be good friends with one Ted Lasso if they ever overlapped in their sports worlds.

Hailing from creator Jason Keller, the Apple TV+ series premiered early June with the first three episodes, watching Pryce reluctantly let his ex-wife Amber Linn (Judy Greer) sell their former house before he decides to bet on teen Santiago Wheeler, who has the swing of a golf pro, and take him to the big leagues along with his former caddy and friend Mitts (Marc Maron) and Santi’s mother Elena (Mariana Treviño).

Needle drops support Pryce’s positive thinking throughout the show, though there are more serious moments too. The opening credits song is performed by the band Caamp. Find the full soundtrack of Apple’s Stick below:

Apple TV+ took a swing at another comedy sports drama with Stick, and at first, it felt like a miss. The early episodes were clunky, the tone uneven, and it seemed like the series might not find its groove. But now, eight episodes in, something’s finally clicking. The characters are settling in, the writing’s getting tighter, and there’s real momentum building, especially for those who stuck through the bumpy beginning.

Episode 8 brings in Timothy Olyphant as Clark, Stick’s longtime rival, who becomes a surprising part of the crew’s latest hustle. With Pryce pulling strings for a sponsorship exemption, Santi finally gets his PGA debut, and Clark might be looking to steal him away. The stakes are rising, the chemistry is firing, and Stick is suddenly starting to feel like it just might work.

If you’re missing Ted Lasso’s heartfelt charm, uplifting spirit, motivation, and the infamous quote, “Football is Life,” here’s a replacement that you can and should watch. And it is also doing well on the charts with an 81% Rt score.

Stick, an Apple TV+ show starring Owen Wilson, Peter Dager, and Lilli Kay, is an American sports comedy in the vein of Ted Lasso. While the latter pursues football, the former showcases the world of golf. Both shows, though different in their storylines, characterizations, and cinematography, depict lives that revolve around chasing their respective dreams and making the most out of their passion. Given the shows’ similar premises, let’s explore how they contrast with each other.

Following its debut on Apple TV+ in June, Stick is fast approaching its freshman season finale. Three episodes remain with the next, "Clark the Mark," set to drop on the streaming platform on July 9.

Ahead of the episode's premiere, Cbr has an exclusive sneak peek clip to premiere. In the video, Owen Wilson's Pryce Cahill attempts to focus on his swing as he is chastised as a "loser" and a "degenerate" by Timothy Olyphant's Clark Ross, his rival and former playing partner. However, though Clark was getting very personal with his verbal jabs, Pryce clapped back with a burn of his own. The clip can be watched below.

The show, per the official synopsis, is a "heartfelt, feel-good comedy about a found family and their relationships set within the world of golf as it has never been shown before. Owen Wilson stars as Pryce Cahill, an over-the-hill, ex-pro...

Now that we're just about halfway through 2025 (can you believe it?!), it's the perfect time to take a moment and reflect on the shows released so far. There have been so many huge releases on streaming services already this year, and there are still so many more to come. Obviously, Stranger Things season 5 will be the focus-pulling release that ends the year in style.

But even among the high-profile shows like Squid Game and The Last of Us and The White Lotus, Apple TV+ has managed to put up a good fight this year with great series that got everyone talking. Severance season 2 made its long-awaited premiere and kept our attention for 10 weeks. This fall, The Morning Show returns from its hiatus and will surely do the same.

Apple TV+ not only delivers the established hit shows that we want to watch, but the streamer also debuted some of the most high quality,...

After Episode 7, it’s impossible to deny it anymore, The Stick only works because of Pryce Cahill. Without Owen Wilson’s grounded and quietly compelling performance, the entire show would lose its swing. Apple TV+’s latest attempt at a feel-good sports comedy tries to mix redemption, mentorship, and second chances, but the result feels like it’s missing its core except when Pryce is on screen.

Created by Jason Keller, The Stick follows a fallen golf pro who tries to reclaim his sense of purpose by coaching a troubled teenage prodigy. It was clearly pitched as the next Ted Lasso, full of emotional growth and heartwarming highs. But while Lasso gave us layered characters and moments that stuck, The Stick too often feels like it’s playing catch-up. “He’s a beautiful loser,” Keller said of Pryce in an interview, and that might be the only part of the series that truly lands.

There's a bittersweet yet feel-good vibe in "Stick" — Apple TV+'s new underdog sports dramedy (which follows in the footsteps of "Ted Lasso") — that's sneakily endearing. On the surface, Jason Keller's show is shuffling variations of clichés ripped from classic sports films and new wave TV comedies (like jokes that draw on the divide between Gen Z and Gen X), but underneath its fairly predictable formula, there's a genuinely charming heart that caught me off-guard.

The setup is pretty simple: Pryce Cahill, a once-promising pro golfer turned golf club salesman, is broke and in the middle of a divorce with a pretty grim financial outlook toward his future. Strongly related to his money problems, he'll likely lose the home filled with memories and golf memorabilia he currently lives in. But one day, while out and about on a driving range teaching an old lady, the spark of hope for...

“Wicked” star Marissa Bode and Tony nominee Julia Lester are among the actors lending their talents to the short films by Inevitable Foundation’s Visionary Fellowship filmmakers.

The year-long program provides disabled filmmakers with the funding, community and guidance to create a short film that could eventually be made into their debut feature. The inaugural cohort of fellows — Zayre Ferrer, Monica Lucas, Filipe Coutinho, Alys Murray and Katherine Craft — each received $55,000 in funding for their short film, as well as a production grant, access to an experienced crew, health insurance, marketing support and financial aid for access and travel.

Production on the shorts is underway in neighborhoods across Los Angeles and will continue through the end of June. Casting is by Danielle Pretsfelder Demchick, CSA, and Elizabeth Hay, CSA.

If Stick Episode 5 were a golf swing, it wouldn’t be a clean eagle; it’s more like a wobbly birdie that barely scrapes the cup but leaves an emotional divot deep in your chest. It’s awkward, heartfelt, manipulative, hilarious, a bit morally questionable, and … one philosophical putt away from a therapy session in khakis.

At its core, this episode is a deep dive into Pryce Cahill’s frayed psyche, Zero’s ethical awakening, Santi’s fragile confidence, and Mitts’ desperate attempts to be the group’s conscience. After the previous ‘bittersweet’ episode, the latest one has its shafts and shanks, but it’s oddly moving, comically poignant, and layered like a parfait of pain and performance anxiety.

I’ve got thoughts. You bet I do. From Zero learning golf through covert hand signals like she’s in a Cold War golf match, to Santi’s romantic hiccups messing with his swing,...

Apple TV+ recently released its new sports drama series Stick, and many people were excited. With Owen Wilson in the lead role and the success of Ted Lasso still fresh in viewers’ minds, expectations were high. Even when the show was first teased, it was clearly stated that it came from the same streamer that brought us Ted Lasso. As a result, fans were hoping for a similar mix of comedy, heart, and feel-good moments.

But after a few episodes, many viewers feel something is missing. Stick doesn’t seem to connect the way Ted Lasso did. The idea is there, and the lead actor has charm, but something important just isn’t sticking. So what went wrong? One major problem might be the characters, who are not as charming or likable as those in Ted Lasso.

Poorly written characters could be the reason for Stick’s downfall A still...

Hollywood fan-favorite Timothy Olyphant is back on the small screen for the first time since Justified: City Primeval.

As noted by ScreenRant, the critically acclaimed actor has finally returned to the small screen for the first time in a live-action TV role since the Justified revival series in the latest episode of Stick from Apple TV+. Olyphant made his Stick debut as Clark Ross, a pro golfer who has a long and storied relationship with Owen Wilson's former pro turned salesman and coach, Pryce Cahill.

While Olyphant's Stick debut as Clark Ross is a relatively short one, fans glean just about everything they need to know about the character thanks to information provided by Pryce's longtime friend and caddy Mitts, portrayed by Marc Maron. According to Mitts, Clark and Pryce were previously playing partners who worked together to great success. In their final outing together, however, Ross made...

“Every kid is one bad mentor away from quitting his own brilliance.” That’s a line I’d scribble in the margins of Stick Episode 4, if the episode were a page from a journal. This episode doesn’t just pick up where the last one left off; it pries open old wounds, lights some fresh ones, and then slaps a $10,000 bandage on top, just to keep things interesting.

Written by Esti Giordani and directed by David Dobkin, this chapter turns a quarry into a battleground for pride, grief, and a mentorship that’s more combustible than coherent. Owen Wilson’s Pryce Cahill is spiraling between redemption and regression. Santi is just trying to be a kid, while Zero, a Gen Z oracle of anti-capitalist rebellion, becomes the unexpected wedge and the unwilling glue. There’s guilt, gaslighting, genuine regret, and a unicorn floaty.

I watched this episode, smirking, sighing, and slightly stunned.

You have to feel a bit sorry for Stick, or indeed any vaguely sports-related comedy drama that dares show its face on Apple TV+: the comparisons to Ted Lasso are going to be inevitable. In fact, this golf-based feel-goodery has as much in common with Apple’s other hit comedy-drama, the therapy-based Shrinking. It follows the tone and feel of both of those shows: a lovable but broken hero, grappling with grief and a failed marriage, who ultimately finds emotional salvation in a found family.

Stick comes from Jason Keller, whose previous sporting life includes a co-writing credit for Ford V. Ferrari. Here, Owen Wilson is our putting protagonist, in a role that feels custom-made for him, given free rein to take his Texan charm into turbodrive. His Pryce ‘Stick’ Cahill is a classic Wilsonian hero, a fast-talker and eternal hustler with...

Apple TV+’s new sports comedy series, Stick, starring Owen Wilson as Pryce Cahill, is out now, and people can’t help but draw parallels with Ted Lasso. The show premiered on June 4, 2025, and three episodes are out already. It has a total of 10 episodes, and they will unfold 1 episode per week going forward.

The show is a perfect blend of heartfelt storytelling and humor in a sports premise. Does it ring a bell? Ted Lasso, whom we all know and love, has done 3 seasons on similar themes, and we can’t wait to see how Stick is similar or different from it. Stick also stars Peter Dager, who plays the role of Santi, the golf prodigy that Pryce trains.

In Stick, Owen Wilson is seen portraying the role of Pryce Cahill. His back story is...

In Apple TV+’s new sports dramedy Stick Peter Dager portrays young golf prodigy Santiago “Santi” Wheeler, who gets recruited to take a swing at becoming a pro golfer by Owen Wilson’s Pryce Cahill, who was himself, once, a pro golfer.

Clashing over their difference in ages and ideas of how to be a good golfer, with Santi sometimes foregoing Pryce’s advise to be a hotshot and take big swings, Dager traced the underlying appreciation the two have for each other — much like a father and son dynamic — despite the ups and downs of their relationship.

“Santi and Pryce, they’re butting heads so much in the beginning because they both have a lot of good reasons to not want to join forces,” Peter Dager told Deadline ahead of the launch of the series — which premiered with the first three episodes arriving on the streamer June 4. “It was...

Owen Wilson’s latest project, the Apple TV+ series Stick, watches the actor take on a plucky underdog of sorts — Pryce Cahill — a former professional golfer whose divorce is about to be finalized in the sale of the house he once shared with his ex wife Amber-Linn (Judy Greer).

Now working as a golf club salesman, it’s obvious from the pitch he makes in the opening moments of the series that he still loves the sport of golf. It’s this “positive” energy and that allows Pryce, who stumbles upon golf phenom Santiago Wheeler (Peter Dager) to convince the teenager to take his talents on the road and compete to become a pro golfer. A surrogate father and son relationship develops between the pair, but not without its bumps in the road as Santi sometimes...

In “Stick,” a found family forms between a former professional golfer, an up-and-coming golf prodigy, the latter’s mother, a baggage-free vagabond and a former caddy who does not go anywhere without his Rv. The series’ success, in other words, rests entirely on the talent and chemistry of its stars. Fortunately, while its onscreen ensemble is not as expansive as some other modern TV comedies, “Stick” boasts a cast of talented, capable and recognizable stars.

Here are all the characters you need to know in “Stick,” as well as the actors who play them and where you might have seen them before.

Before “Ted Lasso” makes its long-awaited return, its streaming platform is rolling out a new show that feels designed and primed to fill the space that fan-favorite comedy left in its wake. The new series, “Stick,” is another light-hearted, deeply felt dramedy about found family and finding redemption and connection in the world of professional sports. Rather than taking viewers back into the world of U.K. soccer, though, “Stick” will focus on the manicured, country club-dominated realm of professional golf.

Here is how, when and where you can watch new episodes of “Stick.”

“Stick” premieres Wednesday, June 4.

How can I watch “Stick”?

“Stick” streams exclusively on Apple TV+.

Owen Wilson's new golf comedy Stickpremieres to a "Fresh" rating from the top film and TV review aggregator.

Per review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the new sports comedy series Stick starring Owen Wilson has garnered a "Fresh" rating with its premiere on AppleTV+. As of the time of writing, Stick holds a 69% approval rating as averaged across 13 critical reviews. There are currently not enough user-submitted reviews to register on the Rotten Tomatoes "Popcornmeter," which provides a user-generated average for any given film or series.

Created by Jason Kelly, Stick stars Wilson as Pryce Cahill, a former pro golfer who turned to coaching and salesmanship following his retirement. When Peter Dager's Santi Wheeler, a talented young golfer who almost left the game behind after his family life fell apart, Cahill takes the rising star under his wing in the hopes of turning both their lives around. Stick's core cast...

Not all heartwarming sports comedies have to be compared to “Ted Lasso” — the genre did exist before Jason Sudeikis‘ merry, mustachioed mentor professed “fútbol is life” — but “Stick’s” attempts to replicate the formula are impossible to ignore. There’s the middle-aged coach who’s out of his depth, taking an all-or-nothing shot on an unlikely star. There’s the quick formation of a support team, the lingering family-related trauma, and the big, meaningful monologues. All the while, a tear-tugging soundtrack of white acoustic-rock underscores a redemption story found on the field but realized off it.

Part of the magic of “Ted Lasso” comes from seeing a college football coach from Kansas prove his doubters wrong by turning his perceived weaknesses into irrefutable strengths. But Jason Keller’s Apple TV+ series can’t pull off the same enchantment. The weaknesses of its coach, Pryce Cahill (Owen Wilson), are just that...

Some people find themselves on mountaintops. Others? In the lost-and-found bin of life’s country club. Apple TV+’s latest sports-based comedy, Stick, lives in that bin, and I, for one, am glad to rummage. What? You didn’t understand? Alright, let me make it a bit simpler for you people!

Watching the first three episodes felt like pulling on an old hoodie soaked in rain: comforting in a nostalgic way, but undeniably damp in places. It’s uneven, sure, but intentionally so. Stick is about people who don’t stick the landing. It stars Owen Wilson as Pryce Cahill, unraveling life: a golf legend who crumbled under pressure, got divorced, lost his child (and possibly his mind), and now finds salvation (or maybe another disaster) in a kid named Santi Wheeler.

What follows is part grief memoir, part mentorship misadventure, part scam road-trip, and wholly absurd. While it might...

If you are in the mood for a round of golf with an extremely likable group of people, then Apple TV+’s latest sports comedy series, Stick, might just be for you.

One day, he discovers a young talent who could turn pro with the right training and decides to train him, which in turn awakens the love of the game in Pryce. So, if you decide to tune in for Stick, we have the names and dates for all of its episodes below:

Stick, Apple TV+’s new golf comedy starring Owen Wilson, does not come with the tagline “For fans of Shrinking and Ted Lasso.” It doesn’t need to: Between the cuddly yet poignant mood, the found-family ensemble, the focus on flawed but generally non-toxic male role models and the overall Dad TV vibe, there’s no mistaking who its target audience is meant to be.

But familiarity isn’t necessarily a drawback when it comes to comfort viewing, and certainly not for a rookie that can play the game nearly as well as the old pros. While not, at this point, quite as ambitious as its actual tagline (“Take a big swing”) might suggest, its assured tone, fat-free storytelling and, most especially, winning cast could give Stick everything it needs to develop into the platform’s next big crowd-pleaser.

As mandated by formula, Jason Keller’s series centers on a...

After his memorable role in the Disney+ Marvel series Loki, Owen Wilson is back in the streaming world in another exciting new series. This time around, Wilson stars in the Apple TV+ comedy series Stick, a sports comedy from creator Jason Keller. The new series premieres on June 4 and continues with weekly episodes that you won't want to miss. We'll tell you when each episode drops!

In the series, Wilson plays former golf pro Pryce Cahill, who's had a pretty staggering turn of bad luck in both his personal and professional life. Looking to turn things around for himself, he decides to help out a young golf prodigy who could use a mentor while rising to the big leagues. Pryce uses the opportunity not only to give back to the next generation but to help get himself back on his feet.

Beyond Wilson, the main and guest cast of Stick also includes Peter Dager,...

The trailer for Apple’s new comedy series Stick isn’t subtle in making its pitch to potential viewers. Mixed in among various glimpses of Owen Wilson playing washed-up former pro golfer Pryce Cahill is a title card that reads, “From the home of Ted Lasso.”

No one involved in the making of Apple’s biggest comedy hit has anything to do with Stick, which was created by Ford v. Ferrari screenwriter Jason Keller. But with its combination of sports, uplift, and a fast-talking, self-deprecating, middle-aged white-guy hero who tries...

Plot: Pryce Cahill is an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer whose career was prematurely derailed 20 years ago. After the collapse of his marriage and getting fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store, Pryce hedges his bets and future entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom named Santi. This heartfelt, feel-good comedy is about a found family and their relationships set within the world of golf as it has never been shown before.

Review: The last time Owen Wilson played a veteran athlete training the next generation superstar in his sport was in 2017’s Cars 3. At 56, Wilson has played all sorts of characters across genres while seemingly never aging, but has never starred in a live-action sports story. With Stick, Wilson gives us one of the best performances of his career in a feel-good story about golf, family, friendship, and second chances. Golf is a great sport to feature on screen,...
