Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson\u2019s new Texas-set series will release later this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrothers\u201d began filming in Austin in March 2025<\/a> and wrapped that fall after pausing production in mid-June when showrunner David West Read exited the project due to creative differences. Shorty after Read\u2019s departure, Lee Eisenberg came on board as showrunner.<\/p>\n

The Apple TV comedy series is loosely inspired on the pair\u2019s actual friendship that has been ongoing for nearly three decades.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with Deadline<\/a>, Harrelson confirmed that \u201cBrothers\u201d will premiere in the fall.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what else he said about the show.<\/p>\n

\u2018Brothers\u2019 to premiere this fall on Apple TV<\/p>\n

\u201cBrothers\u201d sees Harrelson and McConaughey play fictionalized versions of themselves.<\/p>\n

The gist of the show sees Harrelson come to Texas, with his bus, to hang out with McConaughey on his ranch.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd once the bus is inside the gates of his ranch, it\u2019s not going to go anywhere. That was the concept, and that\u2019s what we\u2019ve done for the first eight episodes,\u201d Harrelson told Deadline.<\/p>\n

Harrelson noted that the show will also hit on the viral rumor<\/a> that McConaughey and Harrelson may actually be real-life brothers.<\/p>\n

The duo first met in 1997 and have worked together several times since, including in \u201cEDtv,\u201d \u201cSurfer Dude\u201d and \u201cTrue Detective.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had a lot of fun together. Yeah, I love him. I love him like a brother, for sure,\u201d Harrelson said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson\u2019s new Texas-set series will release later this year. \u201cBrothers\u201d began filming in Austin…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304224,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133,29534,110213,110212,7845,110214,430,2870,26977],"class_list":["post-304223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news","tag-dutton-ranch","tag-harrelson-and-mcconaughey","tag-lee-eisenberg","tag-matthew-mcconaughey","tag-mcconaughey-and-harrelson","tag-north-texas","tag-taylor-sheridan","tag-woody-harrelson"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304223\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
