Owen Wilsonwill star in an upcoming golf comedy series atApple TV+, and things are about to get intense for his character. According toVariety,Marc Maronhas joined the cast of the series as Mytts, Pryce’s (played by Wilson) best friend and former caddy. The plot of the upcoming series revolves around Pryce Cahill, a former professional player who saw his entire career derailed a long time ago. And just when it looks like life turned its back on him, he’ll find a renewed sense of hope when a young golfer played byPeter Dagersteps into the picture.
Before he was cast as a person Mytts can trust, Maron found himself busy with the task of voicing a wide variety of animated roles. The upcoming Apple TV+ golf comedy will see him returning to the live-action format, but Maron had plenty of fun starring as Mr. Snake inThe Bad Guys, the comedy about a group of animals that spend their time coming up with elaborate heists. A sequel to theDreamWorksanimated production was recently announced and, for now, Maron is expected to reprise the role of the former criminal. The actor also voiced Lex Luthor inDC League of Super-Pets.
Now that Mytts has been cast, Pryce is ready to share everything he knows about golf with the younger athlete, even if it means looking at his own experience as a star in a different light. The upcoming untitled comedy will include ten episodes, setting the stage for Pryce to transition into his role as a mentor. Before he was cast as the retired golfer, Wilson recently reprised his role as Mobius in the second season ofLoki, where he once again helped the God of Mischief played byTom Hiddlestonmake his way across the headquarters of the Time Variance Authority.
