The first season of True Detective is held in high regard as one of the greatest seasons of television ever made. Not only did it win five Emmys at the 2014 Television Academy Awards — Outstanding Directing, Outstanding Casting, Outstanding Makeup, Outstanding Title Design, and Outstanding Cinematography — it also features two of the all-time great TV performances from Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. They shared such immaculate chemistry that the world has spent the last 10 years asking when they were going to reunite on screen again. While Harrelson has completely ruled out any True Detective return in the future, McConaughey has shared a much softer stance, admitting that he would return to play Rust Cohle if the scripts were worthy.

However, while fans continue to await news about the next season of True Detective, which isn’t expected to feature Harrelson or McConaughey in any capacity, one upcoming project that will finally bring the duo back together just got its first official update. McConaughey and Harrelson have been tapped to star in a new Apple TV series, Brothers, which will officially release its first two episodes on September 23. One new episode will release weekly until the season finale on November 4. The first official image of the duo in the series has also been released. The project faced a creative shake-up last year, when the showrunner left the project and forced production to go on hiatus. Apple TV has also released an official synopsis for the project, which reads as follows:

“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.”

Who Will Star in the Next Season of ‘True Detective’?

Very little is known about the next season of True Detective at this time, but last year, it was reported that Nicolas Cage will be one of the leading stars. There has been no word since about who will star opposite him in the fifth season of HBO’s critically acclaimed drama, but it was also reported at the same time that it will be set in New York. HBO executives have remained silent when asked for any updates on the show, but knowing how popular it is, it would be surprising if it’s not being worked on regularly to ensure it returns sooner rather than later.
