Apple Sets September 23 Premiere for 'Brothers' Starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson

Apple TV is adding a new high-profile comedy to its fall slate. The streamer announced that its new eight-episode series "Brothers," starring Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey and Academy Award nominee Woody Harrelson, will make its global debut on Wednesday, September 23.



"Brothers" follows McConaughey and Harrelson as fictionalized versions of themselves 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 moves the family to Austin for an extended stay at Matthew's ranch. What begins as a healing getaway quickly spirals when Matthew's mother, Ma Mac (played by Holland Taylor), accidentally reveals the long-buried possibility that the two friends are actually related. As Woody turns the ranch upside down searching for answers, Matthew finds himself dealing with a different crisis: a potential run for Governor of Texas.


The ensemble cast also includes Holland Taylor, Natalie Martinez, Brittany Ishibashi, Nolan Almeida, Ella Grace Helton, Noah Carganilla, Highdee Kuan, and Oona Yaffe. The series is showrun and executive produced by multi-Emmy Award nominee and Peabody Award winner Lee Eisenberg, whose credits include The Office and Jury Duty. McConaughey and Harrelson also serve as executive producers.

Produced for Apple TV by Paramount Television Studios, the series is executive produced by Eisenberg, McConaughey, and Harrelson alongside Natalie Sandy, David West Read, Trish Hofmann, Bill Bost, Jason Winer, David Finkel, Brett Baer, Jeremy Plager, and Trent O'Donnell. O'Donnell also directs multiple episodes, including the pilot.

The first two episodes premiere September 23, followed by one new episode every Wednesday through November 4, 2026.
