Matthew McConaughey & Woody Harrelson Series ‘Brothers’ Gets Apple TV Premiere Date

The comedy series featuring the affable actors as fictionalized versions of themselves debuts this fall on Apple TV.

More than three years after it was originally greenlit, the comedy series Brothers is set to reunite former True Detective partners Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson on Apple TV.

Brothers, which features McConaughey and Harrelson as fictionalized versions of themselves, will debut September 23 on Apple TV. Both actors will executive produce the series in addition to starring in it. Apple TV picked up the show in March 2023—long enough ago that the studio behind it, Paramount TV Studios, was still called Skydance Television and Apple TV still had a “+” in its name, points out the Hollywood Reporter.

The description of Brothers reads: “After Woody’s daughter’s wedding falls apart, he loads up the family and heads to Austin for an extended stay at Matthew’s ranch. But what begins as a healing getaway quickly spirals when Matthew’s mother, Ma Mac (Holland Taylor), accidentally lets slip a long-buried secret that the two friends might actually be brothers. As Woody turns the ranch upside down in pursuit of the truth, Matthew finds himself juggling an entirely different identity crisis: a potential run for governor of Texas. The result is a heartfelt, chaotic, and wildly funny story about friendship, family, fame, and the messy line between myth and reality.”

The show’s cast also includes Natalie Martinez, Brittany Ishibashi, Nolan Almeida, Ella Grace Helton, Noah Carganilla, Highdee Kuan, and Oona Yaffe. Lee Eisenberg (The Office, Apple’s Stick and Little America) is the showrunner for Brothers. He executive produces with McConaughey, Harrelson, Natalie Sandy, David West Read, Trish Hofmann, Bill Bost, Jason Winer, David Finkel, Brett Baer and Jeremy Plager.
