Billy Zane, known for roles in Titanic and Twin Peaks, has joined the cast of Apple TV's golf comedy Stick as a recurring character for its second season. The news comes alongside confirmations that Judy Greer and Timothy Olyphant have been promoted to series regulars.

Stick, starring Owen Wilson as an over-the-hill ex-pro golfer, earned an 82% Tomatometer score during its first season and was quickly renewed. The show follows Pryce Cahill as he mentors a troubled teenage golf phenom while working at an Indiana sporting goods store. The series has drawn comparisons to feel-good comedies like Ted Lasso and Shrinking.

Created by Jason Keller and executive produced by Wilson, Stick represents another high-profile comedy for Apple TV+, which costs $12.99 per month. While the second season has been confirmed, no premiere timeline has been announced yet. The addition of Zane to the cast alongside established actors like Marc Maron and Lilli Kay suggests Apple is doubling down on the show's potential.
