FOX’s ‘Bear Grylls is Running Wild’ preview with Grylls
The action-adventure series host joins us for his FOX series, premiering 4/21 with an episode featuring Matthew McConaughey, and shares what’s coming up on adventures this season as stars join him for 48-hour journeys in the wilderness
The first preview is out for Apple TV’s new series “Brothers” with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey.
- Plot: “Brothers” follows McConaughey and Harrelson, who play fictionalized versions of themselves, and whose lifelong friendship is thrown into chaos when they uncover a decades-old secret: they might actually be brothers. After Woody’s daughter’s wedding falls apart, he loads up the family and heads to Austin for an extended stay at Matthew’s ranch. But what begins as a healing getaway quickly spirals when Matthew’s mother, Ma Mac (played by Holland Taylor), accidentally lets slip a long-buried secret that the two friends might actually be brothers. As Woody turns the ranch upside down in pursuit of the truth, Matthew finds himself juggling an entirely different identity crisis: a potential run for Governor of Texas. The result is a heartfelt, chaotic and wildly funny story about friendship, family, fame and the messy line between myth and reality.
- Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Natalie Martinez and Brittany Ishibashi.
- Premiere date: September 23, 2026

Preview released for “Brothers” with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey.
For those of you who might not know, there’s long been a running joke online that the two former “True Detective” stars might secretly be brothers.
Now, it looks like Apple is leaning into the fun people online are having with the (obviously fake) theory.

The preview for “Brothers” with the duo was released by Apple on Tuesday, and the limited series looks like it’s going to be a ton of fun.
Don’t expect any “True Detective” vibes. Expect a heartwarming story full of jokes and fun storylines. A fun change of pace for Harrelson and McConaughey when they team up.

People in the comments were also quick to make the connection to HBO’s legendary crime thriller, which is arguably the greatest single season of TV ever made.
One viewer wrote, “True detective season 2 is looking very different in tone than season 1.”
Another added, “Missed opportunity to call it “True Brothers!”
A third commented, “A new version of Step Brothers with the cast of True Detective.”
The comments simply write themselves in this situation, and that’s a good thing. People are already enjoying the concept, and all we have so far is a preview.
