Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson’s ‘Brothers’ Has Only One Episode Left
A friendship becomes sitcom material
McConaughey and Harrelson met while working on the 1999 comedy EdTV and built a long friendship. They later appeared together in the first season of True Detective. In Brothers, they play fictional versions of themselves as they explore the possibility that they are family. The show mixes self-referential comedy with the style of a family sitcom.
The rumor behind the story
At the series premiere, McConaughey told Variety that Harrelson believes the two are brothers, while McConaughey remains unconvinced. He traced the rumor to a remark from his mother about knowing Harrelson’s father.
McConaughey said his mother paused after mentioning Harrelson’s father, and that even his five-year-old son understood the implication. The show turns that personal anecdote into part of its fictional premise.
