Apple TV announces a fall premiere date for the comedy series “Brothers,” starring and executive produced by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. Multiple outlets report the show debuts on September 23, with the first two episodes released that day. After the premiere, Apple TV schedules one new episode every Wednesday through November 4. The series is described as an eight-episode comedy created by Lee Eisenberg, an executive producer behind “The Office.”
The show reunites McConaughey and Harrelson after they previously worked together on “True Detective.” According to the outlets, they play fictionalized versions of themselves, with their friendship forming the premise of the storyline. One outlet notes the series was greenlit about three years ago. Additional coverage also references an initial first-look material and a first photo tied to the announcement, but the core details across sources center on the premiere timing, episode release pattern, and the cast’s roles.
