McConaughey and Harrelson play versions of themselves whose friendship is shaken when Ma Mac lets slip that they might be brothers. Woody visits Matthew’s Austin ranch with his family while Matthew faces a separate identity crisis tied to a potential political run. The possible family connection is the show’s premise, not a confirmed fact about the actors’ real lives.
When does it premiere?
Apple TV scheduled the first two episodes of the eight-part comedy for September 23, followed by one episode each Wednesday through November 4. Lee Eisenberg is the showrunner and an executive producer; McConaughey and Harrelson also executive produce.
