Apple TV Reveals Premiere Date for New Comedy "Brothers" Starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson

Apple TV has today announced the premiere date for its upcoming original comedy series Brothers starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.






The eight-episode first season will debut on Wednesday, September 23 with its first two episodes. New episodes will then be released weekly every Wednesday until the season finale on November 4.

The comedy follows McConaughey and Harrelson, who play fictionalized versions of themselves, and whose lifelong 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, 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.

In addition to McConaughey and Harrelson, the comedy stars Natalie Martinez, Brittany Ishibashi, Nolan Almeida, Ella Grace Helton, Noah Carganilla, Highdee Kuan, Oona Yaffe and Holland Taylor.

David West Read created the comedy, with Lee Eisenberg serving as showrunner on the first season. They executive produce with McConaughey, Harrelson, Natalie Sandy, Trish Hofmann, Bill Bost, Jason Winer, David Finkel, Brett Baer, Jeremy Plager and director Trent O'Donnell. Paramount Television Studios produces.
