Matthew McConaughey and ‘True Detective’ creator Nic Pizzolatto have long talked about how much they enjoyed collaborating, and while it seems that the latter is well out of the ‘Detective’ world now, he has created a new show, which has McConaughey circling a lead role.
“The truth lies in the dark.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, McConaughey would star in the new series alongside old pal Cole Hauser.

What’s the story of the new Nic Pizzolatto/Matthew McConaughey show?

Much of what the show itself will be about remains under wraps for now –– the only real detail seems to be that McConaughey and Hauser would play brothers.
And the fact that Skydance Sports is producing the show would indicate that it’ll have a sporting theme.
Those details will emerge in time –– and the project is still listed as just in development.
Where else can we see Matthew McConaughey and Cole Hauser?

McConaughey starred in this March’s ‘The Rivals of Amziah King’, and he’ll be seen this fall in ‘The Lost Bus’, a true-life tale about a bus driver who saved kids during the Camp Fire in California.
Directed by Paul Greengrass, it’ll premiere at the Toronto Film Festival next month.
The actor is also attached to star in a Mike Hammer adaptation, which coincidentally has Pizzolatto writing that script and Hauser also circling a role.
And then we have ‘Brother from Another Mother,’ another sibling series, this one for Apple, in which McConaughey stars with one other good friend –– his ‘True Detective’ co-star Woody Harrelson. The show appears to be going through some creative difficulties on its road to the screen, swapping showrunners and re-shooting some scenes.
As for Hauser, he got a big career boost with ‘Yellowstone’ and will be reprising his role as Rip Wheeler in the latest spin-off, ‘The Dutton Ranch’.
When will the new McConaughey/Hauser/Pizzolatto show be on screens?
Since the deals are still being figured out, we wouldn’t expect this one to be in production much before the end of the year or early 2026 so we’ll be waiting for the show.
