Season two moves Santi closer to professional golf, where talent quickly becomes expectation. As the pressure increases, Pryce begins to wonder what might still be possible in his own career.

Encouraged by former rival Clark Ross, played by Timothy Olyphant, Pryce launches an improbable comeback. His goal is to become the oldest golfer ever to win a major. However, the closer he gets to the player he once was, the more he must confront why he did not fulfil the promise others saw in him.

Rhea Seehorn joins as coach Amanda, while Marc Maron returns as trusted caddie Mitts. Season two also welcomes John Higgins, Billy Zane, Rex Linn, Sasha Alexander and Missi Pyle. Golf broadcasters Jim Nantz and Trevor Immelman, Matt Scharff and Dan Rapaport make return guest appearances.

Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook revives a family legacy

The eight-episode docuseries follows Nora Lum, better known as Awkwafina, on a cross-country culinary road trip. Her goal is to revive Lum’s, the Cantonese restaurant once run by her family in Flushing, New York.

Awkwafina inherited the restaurant legacy but not the kitchen experience. She is candid about the challenge at the centre of the series.

I can’t cook. Like, at all.

With help from chefs, restaurateurs and relatives, she works on her cooking skills while exploring contemporary Asian American cuisine. The journey includes a crash course at the Culinary Institute of America, Texas barbecue with Jimmy O. Yang and lessons from Roy Choi and Martin Yan.

In Hawai’i, she investigates the tiki culture that inspired her grandmother’s restaurant. Later, she takes on service at a restaurant in Los Angeles’ Chinatown. The season builds towards an opening night where the most important guest is her grandmother.

Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook is produced for Apple TV by Twofour. Nora Lum, David Brindley, Itay Reiss and Caroline Davies are executive producers. It is Twofour’s second Apple TV collaboration after The Reluctant Traveller with Eugene Levy.
