Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson play fictionalized versions of themselves in the new Apple TV comedy, Brothers. The show is coming to screens this September.
Apple TV has announced that its new eight-episode comedy “Brothers” will make its global debut on Wednesday, September 23, with the first two episodes. Afterward, one new episode will follow every Wednesday through November 4, 2026. The series features Academy Award-winner Matthew McConaughey and Academy Award-nominee Woody Harrelson as stars and executive producers. Paramount Television Studios also plays a key role in producing the show. “Brothers” is showrun and executive produced by multi-Emmy Award nominee and Peabody winner Lee Eisenberg.
THE PREMISE
“Brothers” follows McConaughey and Harrelson, who play fictionalized versions of themselves. Their 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. However, what begins as a healing getaway quickly spirals. This happens 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. As a result, Woody turns the ranch upside down in pursuit of the truth. Meanwhile, Matthew finds himself juggling an entirely different identity crisis. He faces a potential run for Governor of Texas. Consequently, the result is a heartfelt, chaotic, and wildly funny story about friendship, family, fame, and the messy line between myth and reality.
The ensemble cast starring alongside Harrelson and McConaughey includes Natalie Martinez, Brittany Ishibashi, Nolan Almeida, Ella Grace Helton, Noah Carganilla, Highdee Kuan, Oona Yaffe, and Holland Taylor.
“Brothers” is produced for Apple TV by Paramount Television Studios. Eisenberg, McConaughey, and Harrelson executive produce alongside Natalie Sandy, David West Read, Trish Hofmann, Bill Bost, Jason Winer, David Finkel & Brett Baer, and Jeremy Plager. Trent O’Donnell directs multiple episodes, including the pilot.
