“Are Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson related?” must be one of the internet’s most asked pop culture queries, and Apple TV’s new comedy takes that premise and runs with it, all the way down to the pair’s native Texas.
The brainchild of the starring pair and The Office writer Lee Eisenberg, Brothers sees McConaughey and Harrelson play fictionalised versions of themselves, with Woody deciding to pack up the family home and move down to Matthew’s Texan ranch after his daughter’s wedding falls apart.
At first, all seems rosy, with Harrelson and the family doing some much needed healing at the sprawling home of his BFF. However, when McConaughey’s mother, Ma Mac (Holland Taylor) lets slip a decades-old family secret, it comes to light that the pair might share more than just a sibling-like bond.
What should’ve been a restorative stay for Woody and his family descends into chaos, as the elder ‘brother’ pulls the ranch apart searching for the truth. Meanwhile, the younger of the pair sees his run for Governor of Texas headed directly for derailment.
Harrelson, of course, cut his teeth in TV comedy, playing another character with which he shared his name in Cheers. McConaughey, meanwhile, spent years in the romcom wilderness before cementing his status as one of Hollywood’s greats. With such comedic chops at the helm, and a genuine offscreen bond anchoring the show, Brothers has all the hallmarks of a sitcom classic, so read on for how to watch Brothers online and from anywhere.
