Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson to star in new series about friendship

Apple TV+ has announced a new comedy series starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson,  Forbes reported.

Nine years after McConaughey and Harrelson last appeared together in the HBO anthology series True Detective, the pair are reuniting for a still untitled comedy series for Apple TV+. The streaming service has placed a 10-episode order for what is described as a “heartfelt odd couple love story revolving around the strange and beautiful bond between Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.”

The logline: Matthew and Woody’s friendship is tested when their combined families attempt to live together on Matthew’s ranch in Texas.

Created by Emmy Award winner David West Read, who will also serve as executive producer, the new comedy will be produced for Apple TV+ by Skydance Television.

In addition to starring, McConaughey and Harrelson will executive produce alongside Read. David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Matt Thunell will serve as executive producers for Skydance Television with Bill Bost and Jeremy Plager.

Previously, McConaughey and Harrelson starred together in the films Welcome to Hollywood in 1998, EDtv in 1999, and Surfer Dude in 2008.
