A couple of months after production wrapped on the untitled high-school hockey drama series headlined by Michelle Monaghan, Netflix is revealing more cast members — and a title, The Sticks. NCIS: New Orleans alum Scott Bakula, in his return to television, and Logan Marshall-Green, currently filming Season 2 of his hit CBS series Marshalls, are series regulars, alongside young actress Alex MacIsaac (The Social Reckoning, When Calls The Heart).
Bryan Greenberg (Suits LA, Emily in Paris) and Patrick Gallagher (Big Sky, Night at the Museum) are among seven recurring cast members that had not been officially announced.
Netflix also has released behind-the-scenes first-look images from the set of The Sticks, part of a wave of hockey-themed series that includes hits Crave/HBO Max’s Heated Rivalry and Prime Video’s Off Campus.
