Apple TV has revealed the first image and premiere date for Brothers, a new eight-episode comedy starring and executive produced by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. The series debuts this fall with two episodes, followed by weekly installments.
What is ‘Brothers’ about?
According to the official description, the series follows McConaughey and Harrelson playing fictionalized versions of themselves, “whose 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 (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.”
