It is Apple TV+’s intention to repeat the popularity of classics such as “Ted Lasso” with its new sports-themed series, which will this time center on the realm of golf. Apple TV+ is continuing to grow its portfolio of original content. The streaming service has given its approval to a comedy series consisting of ten episodes, which will be starring Owen Wilson and written by Jason Keller, who is best known for his work on “Ford v Ferrari.”
The character of Pryce Cahill, played by Wilson, is a former professional golfer whose career was derailed twenty years ago. The series, which has not yet been given a title, revolves around Cahill. After being laid off from his job at a sports goods store in Indiana and facing the dissolution of his wife, Cahill is said to be at a crossroads, as stated in the official summary of the film. He takes a daring step and decides to put all of his hopes in coaching a golf prodigy who is 17 years old and struggling with his issues.
Wilson is not only the one who plays the starring part, but he also works as an executive producer alongside Jason Keller. The project features an impressive roster of other executive producers, some of whom include Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, who are well-known for their work on “Little Miss Sunshine,” Ben Silverman, who is recognized for his work on “The Office,” and Howard T. Owens, who is particularly well-known for his work on “Charmed.”
As of right now, there has been no announcement made regarding the release date of the series; nonetheless, it will be joining the increasing roster of original comedies that are available on Apple TV+. This lineup includes returning favorites such as “Acapulco,” “The Big Door Prize,” “Loot,” “Platonic,” “Shrinking,” and “Trying.”
Wilson may be remembered by fans for his recent performance as TVA agent Mobius in Marvel’s “Loki.” This is happening while Wilson is getting ready for his role in the comedy that is centered around golf. After the conclusion of the second season of the series in November 2023, fans were left eager for additional adventures within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
While everything is going on, the future of “Loki” Season 3 on Disney+ is still unknown. Executive producer Kevin Wright has hinted at the possibility of the show’s third season in past interviews, but there have been no formal statements made as of yet.
An additional amusing addition to the roster of the streaming service is something that consumers may anticipate in the near future. This is because the anticipation for Apple TV+’s most recent effort into sports humor is growing, and Wilson’s captivating presence is at the center of the conversation.
