The True Detective costars will reunite in an Apple TV sitcom premiering September 23.
Longtime friends, C&I cover stars and True Detective costars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are teaming up for Brothers, a new Apple TV sitcom. The Texas-set series will kick off Wednesday, September 23 with its first two episodes, followed by one new episode every Wednesday through November 4.
What’s it all about? According to Apple TV: “Brothers follows McConaughey and Harrelson, who play fictionalized versions of themselves, and whose lifelong friendship is thrown into chaos when they uncover a decades-old secret: they might actually be brothers.
“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 (played by Holland Taylor), accidentally lets slip a long-buried secret that the two friends might actually be brothers.”
But wait, there’s more.
“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.”
Other members of the ensemble cast include Natalie Martinez, Brittany Ishibashi, Nolan Almeida, Ella Grace Helton, Noah Carganilla, Highdee Kuan, Oona Yaffe, and Holland Taylor.
McConaughey, an Academy Award winner for The Dallas Buyers Club (2013), and Harrelson, an Academy Award nominee for The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996), The Messenger (2009), and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017), will serve as executive producers for Brothers.
