Maybe time really is a flat circle.
Nine years after they starred in the first season of HBO’s True Detective, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson will re-team for a very different kind of show. The pair will star in and executive produce a comedy series at Apple TV+.
The untitled show comes from Schitt’s Creek alum David West Read, who also created the streamer’s upcoming series The Big Door Prize. Skydance Television is producing.
The 10-episode series is described as “a heartfelt odd couple love story revolving around the strange and beautiful bond between Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. Matthew and Woody’s friendship is tested when their combined families attempt to live together on Matthew’s ranch in Texas.”
