As internet jokes that became TV shows go, Brothers definitely has one over Shit My Dad Says. The series casts True Detective costars and good pals Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey as heightened versions of themselves who discover that, much as social media users have long speculated, they actually have the same father. In real life, they don’t, but they could have: McConaughey’s mother actually did sleep with Harrelson’s dad before her son was born. How do you spin an entire narrative out of this kernel of an idea? I’ll let Rebecca Ford explain: She spoke with Harrelson, McConaughey, and showrunner Lee Eisenberg for an exclusive first look at the project. Fingers crossed that either the pilot or the final episode is titled “Time Is a Flat Circle.”
Elsewhere, Joy Press has a different first look at another intriguing TV project, this one from Bad Sisters mastermind Sharon Horgan, while Nate Freeman brings us inside a legendary artist’s massive Shelter Island studio. (Nate—next time, let me know if you get a plus one?) More tomorrow!
