Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey’s Brotherly Love

Plus: Will Meghan Markle Reprise Her Brit-Chic Royal Wardrobe When She Returns to the UK?

August 24, 2026

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!

Inside John Chamberlain’s Massive Shelter Island Studio

 

By Nate Freeman

 

On Thursday night, after arriving for dinner on a 36-acre expanse on the eastern end of Long Island, VF art correspondent Nate Freeman watched as NBA star Kevin Love walked into cocktail hour on the grounds—which included a massive former horse barn, lines of stables, and a 19th-century farmhouse, all of which had been meticulously restored.


At one point, while snatching a locally grown radish from the spread of crudités wedged into what was normally a table’s outdoor fire pit, Freeman saw Sofia Coppola and her husband, Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars, taking in what would be any art collector’s dream.


John Chamberlain’s studio by the sea has been closed to the public since his death in 2011. With his centenary approaching next year, VF got a private tour—before a slew of Hamptons A-listers arrived for dinner. Read more
