Brothers trailer: Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson comedy premieres on Apple TV – Apple TV has released the trailer for Brothers, the new comedy series starring and executive produced by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
The eight-episode comedy premieres on Wednesday, 23 September, with the first two episodes available at launch. New episodes will then stream weekly through Wednesday, 4 November.
For Australian Apple TV viewers, the series brings together two major screen names in a comedy built around their real-life friendship and a fictionalised family mystery.
About Brothers
Brothers follows McConaughey and Harrelson as fictionalised 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 engagement falls apart, he loads up the family and heads to Austin for an extended stay at Matthew’s ranch.
What begins as a healing getaway quickly spirals when Matthew’s mother, Ma Mac, accidentally lets slip the long-buried secret. Woody starts turning the ranch upside down in pursuit of the truth, while Matthew faces a very different identity crisis: a potential run for Governor of Texas.
Apple TV describes the series as a heartfelt and chaotic comedy about friendship, family, fame and the messy line between myth and reality.
Cast And Creative Team
The ensemble cast also includes Natalie Martinez, Brittany Ishibashi, Nolan Almeida, Ella Grace Helton, Noah Carganilla, Highdee Kuan, Oona Yaffe and Holland Taylor.
