Apple TV just announced the release date for Brothers, a new comedy series starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. Here are the details.

Brothers is new Apple TV show starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson

Apple TV has some exciting comedy premieres happening soon, including Ted Lasso’s highly anticipated return later this summer.

And today, the streamer added another high-profile comedy to its calendar: Brothers.

Brothers premieres Wednesday, September 23 with two episodes, followed by weekly releases through November 4.

The series showrunner is Lee Eisenberg, perhaps best known for his work on The Office and Jury Duty. Brothers stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as fictionalized versions of themselves.

Here’s Apple’s official series summary:

“Brothers” 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 (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 talent involved in Brothers makes the show one of Apple’s highest-profile premieres of the fall. All signs indicate it could be a strong addition to Apple TV’s excellent slate of comedies.
