Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson Might Be Brothers in New Apple TV Series: Watch the Trailer

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson have great on-screen chemistry, as anyone who watched the first season of True Detective can confirm. The upcoming Apple TV comedy series Brothers asks: What if they were related? Theoretically, the answer is “hilarity ensues.”

According to the official description:

Brothers follows McConaughey and Harrelson, who play fictionalized versions of themselves, and whose friendship is thrown into chaos when they uncover a decades-old secret: they might actually be brothers. After Woody’s daughter’s engagement 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.

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.

The first trailer, seen below, finds the two actors dealing with their potential family bond and indulging in some (maybe) good-natured ribbing about their respective awards wins. In addition to Harrelson, McConaughey, and Taylor, the show’s cast includes Natalie Martinez, Brittany Ishibashi, Nolan Almeida, Ella Grace Helton, Noah Carganilla, Highdee Kuan, and Oona Yaffe.

The first two episodes of Brothers premiere September 23rd on Apple TV, with subsequent episodes being released Wednesdays. Watch the trailer below, and revisit True Detective now on Blu-ray via Amazon.
