Timothy Olyphant joins the Owen Wilson Golf Comedy Series at Apple

Timothy Olyphant will star in the untitled golf comedy series with Owen Wilson on Apple TV+. Variety only learned.

The show was originally picked up for 10 episodes on Apple in March. Wilson will star alongside fellow cast members Peter Dager, Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño, Lilli Kay and Judy Greer. Olyphant will guest star.

According to the official logline, the series follows Pryce Cahill (Wilson), “an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer whose career was prematurely derailed twenty years ago. After he gets fired from an Indiana sporting goods store and his wife walks out on him, Pryce completely hedges his bets on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom (Drager).

Olyphant will play Clark, described as “a successful former golf professional who once toured with Pryce.”

Olyphant recently returned to the role of Deputy US Marshal Raylan Givens in the FX limited series ‘Justified: City Primeval’. He previously starred in “Justified” for six seasons, for which he received an Emmy nomination in 2011. Olyphant also received Emmy nominations for his guest role on ‘The Mandalorian’ and for the sequel film ‘Deadwood’, the latter of which saw him reprise the role of Seth Bullock from the HBO series Deadwood. His other TV credits include ‘Santa Clarita Diet’, ‘Full Circle’ and ‘Daisy Jones & The Six’, while his film credits include ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ and ‘Amsterdam’. He will also appear in Noah Hawley’s ‘Alien’ series on FX.

He is represented by UTA.
