Apple TV announced new cast members for season 2 of Stick, including Julia Seehorn as Coach Amanda and former SNL star Higgins as sports agent Jeremy Pierce. The season also adds Zane as Jeremy's boss, Linn as Butch Lydecker, Alexander, and Pyle.
Why it matters
The casting expands the ensemble of a series from a creator-driven production, drawing on actors with recognizable recent credits. It signals the continued development of the show's sports-focused storyline ahead of its next season.
Higgins departed SNL in September 2025 after four seasons, and season 2 of Stick adds eight newly announced cast members. The stub does not specify a premiere date or financial terms for the new casting.
