Is ‘Stick' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 23, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated July 23, 2025, 11:23 IST Apple TV+'s latest comedy hit Stick has captured audiences with its quirky charm, heartfelt moments, and plenty of golf drama. Starring Owen Wilson as a former golf star trying to turn his life around, the show has quickly built a loyal fanbase. With the Stick Season 1 finale out today, July 23, 2025, fans are already wondering: Is Stick coming back for Season 2? Here's a full breakdown of what we know about a possible second season. Quick Recap of Stick Season 1 Season 1 follows Pryce Cahill (played by Owen Wilson), a former golf prodigy whose career derailed after a very public meltdown. Now working in a sporting goods store, Pryce finds purpose again when he discovers 17-year-old golf phenom Santi Wheeler (Peter Dager). With the help of Santi's protective mom Elena (Mariana Treviño), his oddball former caddy Mitts (Marc Maron), and a mysterious drifter named Zero (Lilli Kay), Pryce takes another swing at redemption by coaching Santi through the amateur golf circuit. Blending Ted Lasso -style heart with Happy Gilmore -esque humor, the show has won over viewers and critics alike. It currently holds an 81% score on Rotten Tomatoes and has drawn praise for its character-driven storytelling and warm tone. Season 1 premiered on June 4, 2025, with three episodes dropping initially, followed by weekly releases. The 10-episode finale is now streaming as of July 23, 2025. Has Stick Been Renewed for Season 2? As of now, Apple TV+ has not officially confirmed a second season of Stick . That said, the signs are looking promising. The streamer has been quick to greenlight new seasons of successful originals like The Studio and Your Friends & Neighbors , and Stick appears to be on a similar trajectory. With strong audience engagement, solid reviews, and positive buzz on social media, Stick has made a strong case for another round. Even without a formal announcement yet, Owen Wilson and the show's creators have expressed interest in continuing the story — and the Season 1 finale leaves plenty of room for it. Expect an update in the coming weeks as Apple gauges viewership and feedback. What Could Happen in Stick Season 2? Season 1 ends on a high note, but definitely doesn't close the book. The finale leaves key character arcs still in motion — especially Pryce's emotional growth and Santi's rise through the ranks. If Stick returns, here's what Season 2 might explore: Pryce's Second Chance : We've seen Pryce make some big emotional strides, especially after confronting memories of his son Jett. Season 2 could dive deeper into his personal life — maybe even rekindling his bond with his ex-wife Amber-Linn (Judy Greer). Santi's Rising Career : The teen golf prodigy has just scratched the surface. A second season could see him competing at higher levels, dealing with new pressures, fame, and tougher opponents. There's also room for more real-life golf cameos like the ones we saw in Season 1. Family and Team Drama : Elena's complicated history with Santi's father (hinted at in Episode 9) could add depth to future episodes. Meanwhile, quirky teammates Mitts and Zero bring humor and unpredictability — two things Stick does best. New Courses, New Challenges: Season 2 could expand into new tournaments, locations, and storylines, keeping the underdog spirit alive while testing the team in new ways. Who's Expected to Return for Season 2? If Stick is renewed, most of the main cast will likely be back. Here's who we'd expect to return: Owen Wilson as Pryce Cahill Peter Dager as Santi Wheeler Mariana Treviño as Elena Marc Maron as Mitts Lilli Kay as Zero Judy Greer as Amber-Linn Final Thoughts: Will Stick Return? While nothing is official yet, the outlook for Stick Season 2 looks good. Between its critical praise, audience love, and a story that feels far from over, Apple TV+ has plenty of reasons to bring it back. Fans will just have to wait a bit longer for confirmation — but chances are, Pryce and Santi's journey isn't over just yet.

Stick – Season 1 Episode 7 Recap & Review
Dreams Never Remembered Episode 7 of Stick starts with a flashback, as Pryce is happy with Amber-Linn and Jett. These flashes continue through the years, as we ply out a 'what-if' set of scenarios around Jett growing up. From leaving toy dinosaurs in the toilet to a troublesome 13 year old taking the car out for a joyride, Pryce continues to support his son through thick and thin. Through all the years, Amber-Lynn and Pryce continue to stay together and get along well. Their relationship is put to the test though when Jett heads off to college. He has less time to spend with Pryce and the vision eventually ends with Pryce worried that he won't see his son again. Back in the present, Santi is ready to head home. Elena is with him and points out that Zero really does like him. Santi continues to sulk though and points out he intentionally stopped playing golf on purpose to test his father's love. When he split after several weeks, it showed him that his dad never loved him. They head to the airport and there's a whole bunch of drama here involving taking the dogs home. That is, until Pryce shows up, pleading to talk. He admits the best part of the past 8 weeks wasn't the golfing – it was spending time with Santi. He sees them as friends and that's super important. Golf is just a bonus. After hearing this, Santi changes his mind and decides to stick around after all. Santi though has another idea. He wants to hit the Ready Safe Invitational and win. Meanwhile, Zero vents to Mitts about how everybody in Santi's life revolves around him and she's annoyed as she's no longer in victim-state. That soon changes though when she tells Mitts she really needed the money (how's that anti-capitalist stance going for ya now, Zero?) Mitts has heard enough and cuts through the BS, pointing out that she's hurt but so too is Santi. She needs to see his perspective but she struggles to do so. For now though, Zero leaves… for about 5 minutes anyway, as Santi shows up to see her. The Episode Review So this episode begins with a really beautiful montage of Pryce's 'what-if' back home, and then immediately descends when we hit the present timeline. The beats of this series are following all the usual hallmarks of a standard comedy but it doesn't have the characters to back it up. Zero continues to show how much of an awful character she is too, taking absolutely no accountability for her own actions. Even with Mitts cutting through her BS, she still can't see past her own selfish actions and how other people feel. Meanwhile, all its taken for Santi to change his mind is one chat about how Pryce and him are friends and golfing isn't important (even though it is, given Pryce has bet his entire livelihood on this kid) and we're back to the races. With a few more episodes left, we'll have to wait and see where this one goes next. Previous Episode Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!

Manhattan's power scene is back in full force at this luxe new Italian restaurant from Michael White: It's Marea 2.0
Midtown has its pre-pandemic swagger back — and People's Exhibit No. 1 is Santi (11 E. 53d St.), the buzzing new modern-Italian restaurant from celebrated chef Michael White. Its nexus of corporate power, great pasta and fun people-watching make it the area's hottest scene since White's Marea opened in prehistoric 2009. After splitting with the Altamarea group in 2021 due to disagreements over the company's direction, White has spent most of his time launching new venues in Florida. (A consulting gig at the Lambs Club on West 44th Street lasted only a few months in 2022.) 10 Michael White is back in NYC with Santi. EMMY PARK 10 The elegant midtown address was once home to White's Alto. EMMY PARK Santi, launched by his BBianco Hospitality Group with business partner Bruce Bronster, marks his triumphant, full-scale Big Apple return. Marea's still going strong and Midtown has other established, excellent Italian restaurants such as Il Gattopardo, Cellini and Fresco by Scotto. But others faded and the scene needed new blood. Santi delivers it for everyone — from shoppers and museum-goers to a Who's Who of Midtown glitterati. Once home to White's aughts-era hit Alto, the venue has overnight became a haunt where the city's prime movers wheel-and-deal over homemade gnocchi and tagliatelle, and cocktails such as the Fifty-Fifty, which features Taggiasca gin, made with prized Ligurian olives. Santi's pleasures unspool through several main areas designed by Michaelis Boyd, gorgeously lit by L'Observatoire International and festooned with luminous portraits from Bronster's private collection. Each section draws a different crowd. The front dining room, a few steps down from a horseshoe-shaped bar for the after-work, sip-and-flirt set, draws movers and shakers to its semicircular booths and banquettes. It's become a canteen for bankers at market-moving investment firm Jefferies Group and its CEO Rich Handler, who work upstairs. On any given afternoon or evening, you might spot Henry Kravis, Barry Diller or real estate mogul Bill Rudin, who's planning a new skyscraper a few blocks away. 10 Midtown power players are flocking to Santi. EMMY PARK 10 With dishes such a succulent veal chop, Santi's food is worthy of the five Michelin stars that White has earned at previous restaurants. . EMMY PARK Boldfaces such as Eva Longoria and Queen Rania of Jordan have popped in, too. Pop star Beck ordered a comfort dish from heaven — hand-folded tortellini ($36) filled with prosciutto, mortadella, pork and Parmigiano Reggiano, finished in a creamy sea of cheese and butter. A circular staircase leads to the slightly more intimate mezzanine, after passing a huge,1800s mirror that Bronster found buried under a Southampton barn. The upstairs area has attracted art and fashion luminaries such as designers Diane von Furstenberg and Michael Kors and painter Kehinde Wiley. The restaurant's noisiest section is the ground-floor atrium, where light globes suspended from the double-height ceiling suggest a galaxy in formation. On my visits, it drew canoodling couples in the corners and noisy groups of guys at middle tables. Fortunately, new wall fabrics and sound bafflers have begun to soften the din. 10 Amberjack crudo is one of many great seafood dishes. EMMY PARK 10 Gnocchi in tomato sauce is a standout pasta dish. EMMY PARK The menu, executed by the kitchen team of Jason Lin and Sol Han, is worthy of the five Michelin stars White earned at his other places. It boasts splendid seafood, both raw and cooked, like tasty, toothsome amberjack crudo ($32) and pleasingly moist halibut ($55) pan-seared on one side and then poached in extra-virgin olive oil. But the pastas — all original, none replicating White's previous plates — are the crowning glory. 'We've been deliberate about not copying expected dishes because that's not fun or challenging, and our guests deserve more than a rehash of old ideas,' White told me. The sautéed Italian breadcrumbs known as mollica, a White hallmark in the past, are mostly absent, letting the pasta and sauces speak for themselves. 10 Some notable guests, such as musician Beck, favor the booths in the front room. EMMY PARK 10 Beyond the front room is the elegant-but-noisy atrium. EMMY PARK Tagliatelle Ragu ($36), which Wiley has ordered more than once,gets my vote. The coarse-ground beef and pork are gently broken down to a velvety texture by a judicious infusion of milk. My favorite, though, was ricotta gnocchi ($28), lighter than the potato-filled variety and bathed in San Marzano tomato-and-basil sauce — a brave statement when too many chefs shy away from red sauce lest their dishes be mocked as Italian-American dinosaurs. 10 A sweeping staircase leads up to a mezzanine. EMMY PARK 10 The mezzanine dining area is slightly more intimate. EMMY PARK But I miss White's legendary fusilli with braised octopus and bone marrow, his heart-stopping, red-sauce masterpiece at Marea. Per Se's Thomas Keller once called his favorite dish in New York. Is there any chance we'll see it again at Santi? When asked, White smiled and said coyly, 'I'm talking to my chefs about it.'
