Woody Harrelson, Matthew McConaughey Discover They Might Be Brothers in New Apple TV+ Comedy
Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are bringing their legendary friendship to Apple TV+ in Brothers, a new comedy series hitting screens September 23. The twist? They might actually be siblings.
The eight-episode show sees the real-life best friends playing fictionalized versions of themselves. Their decades-long bond shatters when Matthew's mother, Ma Mac (Holland Taylor), accidentally reveals a shocking secret: the two aren't just close, they could share a bloodline.
Woody dives headfirst into investigating the truth at Matthew's Austin ranch, while Matthew grapples with his own identity crisis amidst a potential run for Texas Governor. This promises a chaotic, heartfelt, and genuinely funny exploration of family, fame, and the blurry line between myth and reality.
