Brothers has the rare advantage of casting two men whose friendship already feels like a sitcom, then giving that friendship a family-secret problem to trip over. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are the reason to watch: the premise is neat, but their shared history gives the comedy an actual engine.

Brothers trailer
The trailer lets McConaughey and Harrelson do what they do best: turn familiar chemistry into an argument with a punchline attached.
What Is Brothers About?
TMDB describes the series as a comedy about Hollywood actors Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, longtime best friends whose connection may be closer than they thought after a shocking family secret emerges. That is a clean comic hook, and the casting does the heavy lifting: these are fictionalised versions of two performers whose real rapport needs no introduction.
Brothers Season 1 episodes
Brothers Season 1 contains eight episodes and is listed as a 2026 season. Apple TV’s confirmed rollout begins with two episodes on 23 September, followed by weekly episodes through 4 November.
| Season | Episodes | Year |
|---|---|---|
| Season 1 | 8 | 2026 |
Who Is in the Cast?
McConaughey and Harrelson lead as themselves, fictionalised just enough for the premise to misbehave. Holland Taylor brings Ma Mac the kind of seasoned presence that can make one family secret feel like a full weather system, while Natalie Martinez and Brittany Ishibashi round out the named ensemble as Valentina and Joy.
Good to Know
