Apple TV has announced that its new eight episode comedy Brothers will make its debut on Wednesday, 23 September with the first two episodes, followed by one new episode every Wednesday through 4 November.
Starring and executive produced by Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey and Academy Award nominee Woody Harrelson, and produced by Paramount Television Studios, Brothers is showrun and executive produced by multi Emmy Award nominee and Peabody winner Lee Eisenberg.
Brothers follows McConaughey and Harrelson, who play fictionalised 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 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 (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 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.
