When Apple TV+ surveys the long lineup of shows and movies that it's produced in-house since starting as a streaming service years ago, there's an unassuming name that stands out in impressive company. Ted Lasso was one of its more unlikely hits, with a really wholesome, fun premise and some of the gentler comedy you could hope to find, but it broke out in a big way.
It also showed that comedies set in the world of sport can really work, despite the occasional struggle for total authenticity. So, wouldn't you know it, Apple TV+ seems to be returning to that well while Ted Lasso isn't around (however briefly). It's just unveiled a new sporting comedy series starring Owen Wilson – Stick, staring on 4 June.
