For years, McConaughey and Harrelson have joked about the idea of them being brothers. The pair are great friends and long-time collaborators, as well as looking fairly similar. Then, while on holiday together a few years ago, McConaughey's mother mentioned she knew Harrelson's father many years ago, at a time which would correlate with the conception and birth of her son, Matthew.
While McConaughey is reluctant to take a DNA test as it would hurt the memory of the man who raised him, Harrelson is willing, but the likelihood is we will never really know. Still, at least we have this fictional comedy series to dive into, in which the duo play out that alternate reality where they are related. Across eight episodes of "Brothers" we will see Harrelson's daughter's wedding ruined, the two families spending time at McConaughey's ranch, and long-lost secrets spilled.
Ready for this wild ride? Here's how to watch "Brothers" from wherever you are — and potentially even catch a couple of episodes for FREE.
