Season 2 of Apple TV's Stick Premieres November 4; Canadian Comedy North of North Returns to Netflix

Apple TV revealed a first look at the second season of its beloved sports comedy Stick, starring and executive produced by Owen Wilson and created by Jason Keller, which will expand its cast to include Emmy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Rhea Seehorn (Pluribus) in a supporting role. Also starring Peter Dager, Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño, Lilli Kay, Judy Greer and Timothy Olyphant, Stick returns for its second season on Apple TV on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, with two episodes, followed by one episode weekly until December 30, 2026.

Stick 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. In season one, Wilson stars as Pryce Cahill, an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer whose career was derailed prematurely 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 (Dager).

In season two, Santi takes the next step in his pursuit of professional golf, only to discover how quickly the game changes when talent becomes expectation. As Santi chases his dream, Pryce finds himself wondering what might still be possible for him. Urged on by his former rival Clark Ross (Olyphant), Pryce does something nobody expects: he bets on himself, launching an improbable comeback in hopes of becoming the oldest golfer ever to win a major. But the road back proves far harder than he imagined. And the closer Pryce gets to the golfer he once was, the more he is forced to confront why he never fulfilled the promise everyone once saw in him. With brilliant new coach Amanda (Seehorn) and trusted caddie Mitts (Maron) in his corner, Pryce sets out to prove - to the golf world and, more importantly, to himself - that maybe he really was as good as everyone always said he was.

In addition to Seehorn, season two also welcomes John Higgins, Billy Zane, Rex Linn, Sasha Alexander and Missi Pyle, and features return guest appearances from legendary broadcasters Jim Nantz and Trevor Immelman, Good Good's Matt Scharff and golf enthusiast Dan Rapaport.

Netflix, APTN and CBC announced that the global Canadian hit comedy series North of North will include Canadian actor and comedian Bruce McCulloch (Kids in the Hall) as Military Mitch, an instructor who is hired to teach first-aid at the Ice Cove Community Centre. Also announced were cameo appearances by Indigenous content creators Ashley Callingbull, Braden Kudlun, Chelazon Leroux, Kairyn Potts, Kayuula Nova, Shina Nova and Scott Wabano. Acclaimed singer-songwriter, director, documentarian and Inuk activist Elisapie is also set to guest star, coinciding with the debut of a new song slated to be featured in the new season.

Season 2 of North of North will premiere in Canada on APTN+ and CBC in September and release around the world, including Canada, on Netflix later this fall. As winter closes in on Ice Cove, young Inuk mother Siaja (Anna Lambe) is still making bold decisions and even bolder mistakes in her effort to level up her life. The hardest part? Proving to her tight-knit Arctic community and herself, that she's ready to take charge.

The series stars Anna Lambe (Siaja), Maika Harper (Neevee), Braeden Clarke (Kuuk); Jay Ryan (Alistair), Mary Lynn Rajskub (Helen), Zorga Qaunaq (Millie), Bailey Poching (Colin), Nutaaq Simmonds (Elisapee), and Keira Cooper (Bun).
