EVERYONE KNOWS THAT Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are one of the great duos in show business. After meeting and becoming friends on the set of the 1999 comedy film EdTV, the actors began a long friendship, along the way collaborating again for the first season of True Detective, widely considered to be one of the great television shows of all time. But did you know that in addition to being great friends, the two might also be half-relatives?
That’s the premise of Apple TV’s new comedy series Brothers, which reunites the duo on screen for the first time since 2014’s True Detective, and pulls from a bit of very real mythology that the two only relatively recently discovered on their own. Think of it as the meta-nature of Curb Your Enthusiasm, combined with the goofiness of a family sitcom like Schitt’s Creek or Malcolm in the Middle, and, of course, the star power of True Detective. Now, just because they made the show doesn’t mean that McConaughey believes the story.
Even my five-year-old son understood the innuendo of what that meant.” So, are the A-listers actually brothers? You figure they could just take a DNA test and figure out once and for all. But for now, that doesn’t seem to be in the cards.
McConaughey then added that maybe that could change in the future—but he’s a little frightened about what it could mean. If it’s not true, he’s not going to be near as fun to hang out with.” There’s a lot to figure out for these two. But in the meantime, why not see how fictional Matthew and Woody handle it?
Below, we’ve got all the information to make sure you don’t miss an episode of Apple TV’s Brothers. The next episode of Brothers will officially come out on Wednesday, October 13. But as with all Apple TV shows, it'll release a bit early the night prior.
So if you're eager, keep an eye out for the next episode on the evening of Tuesday, October 12. The debut season of Brothers will run for eight episodes, with episodes rolling out on a weekly basis, the first four of which have now aired. That means there are still four more weeks—and four episodes of Matthew and Woody’s brotherly (or not-so-brotherly) chaos—remaining in the show’s first season.
