Apple TV+ today announced it has acquired a new 10-episode comedy series starring and executive produced by Owen Wilson (Loki, The Royal Tenenbaums), and created, written by and executive produced by Jason Keller (Ford v Ferrari, Mirror Mirror).
Starring Owen Wilson in the lead role, the comedy follows Pryce Cahill, an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer whose career was derailed prematurely 20 years ago. After he gets fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store and his wife walks out on him, Pryce hedges his bets entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom.
The untitled series will be directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (Fleishman is in Trouble, Little Miss Sunshine), and executive produced by Propagate Content’s Ben Silverman (The Office), Howard T. Owens and Rodney Ferrell, Entertainment 360’s Guymon Casady (upcoming Ripley and The Fall Guy), Piece of Work’s Lee Eisenberg and Natalie Sandy, Chris Moynihan, Keller and Wilson.
The new series joins an expanding offering of global hit, Apple Original comedies including the multi Emmy Award-winning phenomenon Ted Lasso, Emmy Award-nominated Shrinking, acclaimed returning series Platonic and Loot, and the highly anticipated Palm Royale.
