Stick Season 2: Will It Happen? Latest Apple TV+ Update

Stick, Apple TV+'s new original drama, premiered its first season starring Owen Wilsonon July 23, 2025, ending all things with a thematic and emotionalfulloe finale. The sports drama indeed speaks to all those viewers who enjoy character-driven stories that also carry emotive meaning. After ten episodes surrounding personal struggles, mentorship and second chances, fan's are now positively desperate to one thing - is there going to be a Season 2?

As of today, Apple TV+ has made no official announcement regarding Stick returning. However, this hasn't diminished fans and industry experts from asking the question about the future of the show. With everything we currently know, there are many reasons to feel confident about Season 2 to follow.

Why Stick Season 2 is Probable — Even Without Official Confirmation

While Apple TV+ hasn't yet renewed the series, there are several indications that a second season is more than likely.

1. The Story Is Not Over

The Season 1 finale was full of impact and left everybody with a cliffhanger: right as things seemed to be improving for Santiago, Pryce Cahill's young golf prodigy, his estranged father shows unexpectedly. Although some time has likely passed since the start of this story, this sudden meeting ultimately sets the stage for a deeper emotional arc — one that could easily carry an entire second season.

This parent and child conflict between Santiago and his father is elemental and did not need a resolution. The series has been so focused on exploring family structures and relationships that this weekend represents an opportunity to build upon those ideas significantly.

2. Strong Audience Reaction

 While Apple typically does not release any data on the viewership of a show, various publications covering entertainment have reported that Stick has had a successful launch since it's first episode on Apple TV+. Viewers are praising the series for its grounded and genuine storytelling, earnest performances and realism in dealing with loss and redemption. 

Based on information found in online forums, fan pages, and social media posts, there are a passionate, eager and growing fanbase. Many of the fans are describing Stick as one of the most emotionally satisfying shows of the year and Apple is already being asked for more episodes!

3. Apple's Renewal Trail

If you judge by the history of Apple TV+, they generally delay announcing their renwals for a couple to several weeks, if not months, after a season finale has aired. That's how long it took for The Morning Show and Shrinking, for example. If history serves them well, fans and viewers can excitedly await the renewal decision of Stick to come later in the summer or early fall of 2025.

4.  A-List Talent Involved

With Owen Wilson in a leading role, and a solid creative team assembling the project behind the scenes, Stick already is an imposing presence. Wilson's performance of Pryce -- former golf champion at a crossroads due to grief and finding purpose -- has been one of the best performances on the platform this year! The fact that Wilson is so involved in the project, simply has increased value and credibility for the series and provides additional benefits in order to increase the chances of it getting picked up again.

What Will Happen in Season 2?

If Stick is renewed, Season 2 will build on the continuing threads left unresolved in the show's last few episodes. Here are some aspects viewers can look forward to:

• Santi and his father: The reunion in the last episode unlocked some new avenues for backstory and exploring subsequent trauma, abandonment, and potential reconciliation.
• Pryce moves too: As a mentor and grieving father, how alongside himself, Pryce works with Santi's family situation could provide an opportunity to layer his character and potentially venture into new internal territory.
• Elena's various challenges: The supporting characters like Elena -- Santi's mother and Pryce's soft-support -- have their own arcs, which could, to a degree or two or three, be explored. 
• Focus on the competition: Season 1 explored the mentorship side of the story, whereas Season 2 could follow Santi's emergence into the world of professional golf's symbolic "gypsy" side, raising stakes and pressure for everyone featured. 

The evolving narrative threads allow producers ample runway for reconceptualizing the show all the way from an emotional drama to a sports coming-of-age story.

Stick Has Struck an Emotional Chord with Its Audience

What really separates Stick from other sports programming is it emotional core; it isn’t just about the game of golf — it is about sorrow, healing and other people. Pryce loose of his own son, his commitment to mentor Santi, taking time to rebuild trust among the characters — it all means so much to viewers on so many levels.

It’s that emotional realism, that is making viewers feel so connected to the story. And is also why there’s that many hoping for a season 2. In a world of quick-thrills and knives-vs-guns action, Stick stands out for its quiet strength — and why it needs another season.
