Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson Tease New Apple TV Comedy ‘Brothers’

Premiere Details

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson star in a new Apple TV comedy series titled 'Brothers.' The eight-episode series premieres on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, with the first two episodes available for free during a seven-day trial of Apple TV subscription.

Subscribers can access the full series for $14.99 per month after the trial period, while new customers purchasing a new iPhone, iPad, Apple TV 4K, or Mac can get three months of Apple TV free.

Behind the Scenes

The pair has a longstanding friendship, with McConaughey's mother, Kay McConaughey, having suggested a possible connection to Harrelson's father, Charles Harrelson, around the time of McConaughey's conception.

This speculation has fueled the idea for 'Brothers,' a semi-scripted comedy where the actors play fictionalized versions of themselves, exploring the possibility of a shared family history.

During a post-Emmys ceremony, the actors joked about the possibility of Harrelson winning a second Emmy for 'Widow’s Bay,' despite not being involved in the show.
