Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson set to reunite for Apple TV+ Comedy Series

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson’s “True Detective” team is set to reunite for a new Apple TV+ series. The untitled comedy series has a 10-episode order and comes from David West Read, who worked as a screenwriter on the popular show “Schitt’s Creek,” a press release from Apple TV+ said. Read is also the creator of the streamer’s upcoming series “The Big Door Prize.” The new show is a heartfelt love story between odd couples that revolves around the weird and beautiful bond between McConaughey and Harrelson. Their friendship is tested when their combined families try to live together on Matthew’s ranch in Texas.

The comedy series will be produced for Apple TV+ by Skydance Television. McConaughey, Harrelson and Read will executive produce the series along with Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Matt Thunell, Bill Bost and Jeremy Plager. McConaughey and Harrelson previously starred together in the first season of HBO’s crime drama series “True Detective,” which earned them Emmy nominations.

Matthew McConaughey has a rather limited career in TV series, although he is set to play the voice role of Elvis Presley in Netflix’s Agent Elvis which hits theaters March 17. Woody Harrelson, on the other hand, has much more experience with television series, having gained fame for his role as Woody Boyd in the show Cheers, which aired in the 1980s and 1990s. He also starred in The Man From Toronto from Netflix alongside Kevin Hart in 2022.

Apple TV+ has already announced its slate of original series for early 2023, with notable entries being the return of Ted Lasso for a third and final season which will be released on March 15. This will be followed by Extrapolations on March 17 and The Last Thing He Told Me on April 14.
