McConaughey, Harrelson comedy series 'Brothers' to premiere Sept. 23

The series follows fictionalized versions of McConaughey and Harrelson as a family secret upends their friendship and a potential Texas governor run.

  • Apple TV announced Thursday that the comedy series 'Brothers,' starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, will premiere September 23 with two episodes.
  • The series draws inspiration from real-life speculation that the co-stars might be half-brothers, after Harrelson confirmed his father had a brief relationship with McConaughey's mother.
  • Woody visits Matthew's ranch in Austin after his daughter's wedding fails, but the trip spirals when Matthew's mother, Ma Mac—played by Holland Taylor—accidentally reveals their potential secret.
  • Lee Eisenberg, known for 'The Office,' serves as showrunner for the eight-episode comedy, reuniting the pair since 'True Detective' on HBO.
  • Beyond the family mystery, Matthew juggles a fictionalized identity crisis, including a potential run for Governor of Texas, blending friendship, fame, and reality.
