Owen Wilson, renowned for his roles in The Royal Tenenbaums and Loki, is set to hit the greens in a new comedy series for Apple TV+.
In this untitled series from Jason Keller, the actor will not only star but also serve as an executive producer. Wilson’s character, Pryce Cahill, is a washed-up ex-pro golfer who pins his hopes on mentoring a troubled 17-year-old golf prodigy after facing a series of setbacks, including losing his job and his wife.
Known for his passion for golf, Wilson’s portrayal of Cahill is anticipated to bring authenticity and humor to the series, reflecting his real-life enthusiasm for the sport.
Jason Keller, acclaimed for his work on Ford v Ferrari and other notable films, helms the creation, writing, and executive production of the series. Backed by Apple Studios and directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, the show promises a blend of comedy and heartwarming moments.
With a stellar lineup of producers, including Ben Silverman, Howard T. Owens, and Guymon Casady, alongside Keller and Wilson, the series is poised to deliver a unique take on the world of golf and personal redemption.
For Wilson, whose recent projects include Disney’s Haunted Mansion remake, this golf-themed comedy marks another exciting addition to his diverse repertoire. As he steps onto the green, fans can anticipate laughter and heartfelt moments in equal measure.
With Wilson represented by UTA and Bob Wallerstein at Hirsch, Wallerstein, Hayum, Matlof, and Fishman, and Keller by CAA and Entertainment 360, this collaboration between two talented creatives promises to be a hole-in-one for Apple TV+ audiences.
