Apple TV+ described the new show as “a heartfelt odd couple love story revolving around the strange and beautiful bond between Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.”

Art will be imitating life in this untitled 10-episode half-hour comedy, and it will see the two actors put their friendship to the test by attempting to live together on McConaughey’s Texas ranch with their families.

This concept would’ve been a little bit strange if it involved any other two celebrities, but it’s Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson we’re talking about! They’ve been friends for decades, and we’ve seen them star in several films together, including Welcome to Hollywood, EDtv, and Surfer Dude.

Their most successful project together is definitely the HBO series True Detective. They appeared in the first season of the acclaimed crime drama in 2014 as Louisiana State Police detectives Rust Cohle and Marty Hart. The duo received nominations for several awards for their work on this series, including a Golden Globe, Emmy, and SAG Award.

According to McConaughey, he was initially supposed to be on set for one day, playing an unnamed character who appears only at the beginning and end of the movie and doesn’t have any lines. He met with Henkel, and during their conversation, the director mentioned that the role of the killer is still vacant and asked the actor to recommend someone.

McConaughey mentioned some names before leaving the office but quickly returned. He asked Henkel if he could read for the role himself, and luckily, the director was open to the idea.

Since there were no actresses around, Henkel’s secretary volunteered to read with McConaughey and ended up regretting it really fast.

“I ran to the kitchen … grabbed a big tablespoon, came back in, and just pinned her in a corner and acted like it was a weapon,” McConaughey recalled. “I did it until she cried. And Kim was like, ‘That was good,’ and she was like, ‘Yeah, that was really good. You really scared me.'”

McConaughey was offered the role almost immediately, and he went on to star in the movie alongside Renée Zellweger. After wrapping up filming, he left his home state of Texas and headed out to Los Angeles to try and make it in Hollywood.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation was a box office bomb and ended up being universally panned by the critics. However, it is still remembered for launching the careers of McConaughey and Zellweger, who both went on to win Academy Awards for their work.

The original movie was based on John Grisham’s novel of the same name, published in 1989. HBO’s sequel will adapt 2020’s A Time for Mercy, which serves as the third book in the series.

The project is envisioned as a limited series, with eight to 10 episodes planned at the moment. Further details are being kept under wraps, but reports say that Lorenzo Di Bonaventura (Constantine, Transformers) is on board as executive producer.

McConaughey previously took time to promote A Time for Mercy on his social media, sparking rumors that he might revisit the role of Brigance. He was reportedly already in talks to star in the book’s adaptation at the time.

Directed by Joel Schumacher, A Time to Kill featured an ensemble cast that included McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, Samuel L. Jackson, and Kevin Spacey. The movie received mixed reviews but was a big box office hit, earning $152 million on box office compared to a $40 million budget. It also brought Jackson a Golden Globe Award nomination in the Best Supporting Actor category.

This promising drama will be based on Patrick Coleman’s debut novel The Churchgoer, and it will tell the story of a former pastor, whose attempts to find a missing young woman lead him through corruption and criminal conspiracy.

Redeemer is a part of the overall deal that True Detective creator struck with FX, and it will serve as the first project to result from this partnership.

“I’m very excited at the opportunity to work with Matthew again and really grateful and thrilled to have the chance to create new shows for Fox 21 and FX,” said Pizzolatto in a statement.

Pizzolatto and McConaughey previously worked together on True Detective, which was a huge rating and critical hit, and followed similar gritty narrative as their upcoming show. McConaughey scored an Emmy, a Golden Globe, and a SAG Award nominations for his performance, alongside his co-star Woody Harrelson.

Universities often grant professor’s positions to people who don’t have PhDs but have the experience and skills needed in the field. McConaughey, EW reports, has just been granted this kind of position and was appointed as a professor of practice at UT Austin’s Department of Radio-Television-Film.

The course teached by McConaughey is called “Script to Screen” and it uses the actor’s films as case studies to demonstrate the process of film production. McConaughey has actually been a visiting instructor in the course for four years now and helped developing its curriculum. Now the position became permanent.

The classes this coming semester will focus on the upcoming The Gentlemen and on 2013’s film Mud. The actor seems very excited about his new job. “It’s the class I wish I would have had when I was in film school. Working in the classroom with these students gives me a chance to prepare them,” he wrote.
