The new film tracks the romantic entanglements of a now 50-something Barry McMullen (Burns) and his 20-something kids, as well as his brother, Patrick (Michael McGlone), and his widowed sister-in-law, Molly (Connie Britton, Overcompensating), each facing unexpected romantic hurdles of their own.
The cast of the film includes Connie Britton, Edward Burns, Michael McGlone, Tracee Ellis Ross, Halston Sage, Juliana Canfield, Pico Alexander, and Brian d’Arcy James. The Brothers McMullen is available to stream on HBO Max.
Written and directed by Edward Burns, the film is produced by Ellen H. Schwartz, Aaron Lubin, and Edward Burns. Claudine Marrotte is the executive producer.
The director of photography is William Rexer, the production designer is Sam Bader, the editor is Janet Gaynor, the composer is Séamus Egan, the costume designer is Rosemary Lepre Forman, and the casting is by Maribeth Fox.
