Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson may finally be ready to settle the question of whether they are more than lifelong friends. Today, Apple TV unveiled the trailer for Brothers, the new comedy series starring and executive produced by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. McConaughey and Harrelson play fictionalized versions of themselves who discover a decades-old secret suggesting they might be brothers.
Of course, the actors (in real life) have publicly joked about potentially sharing a father, and Brothers turns that possibility into a chaotic family mystery. The eight-episode comedy will premiere on Apple TV with the first two episodes on Wednesday, September 23, followed by one new episode every Wednesday through November 4, 2026.

About Brothers
“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 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.
