'Raymond & Ray' Trailer: Ethan Hawke and Ewan McGregor Unearth Their Dead Father

Ethan Hawke and Ewan McGregor are two half-brothers with a lot of problems.

The duo star as incumbents Raymond and Ray for the upcoming AppleTV+ comedy-drama "Raymond & Ray," which premieres October 21 on the streamer. Raymond and Ray come to terms with their father's death by attending his funeral and retracing their past - emotionally and literally, as they grab real shovels to dig up their father's grave.

Raymond and Ray then embark on a road trip to get to know their deceased father. Their path leads them to a nurse (Sophie Okonedo) who took care of their father, as well as their father's mistress (Maribel Verdú) and his son (Maxim Swinton), who is their other< /em> half-brother. Oscar Nuñez, Vondie Curtis-Hall and Todd Louiso also star.

"The old man was always kidding us," Raymond (McGregor) says at Ray (Hawke) in the trailer. "But forgiveness is good." Ray later replies, "It'll take more than a hole in the ground to get the old man out of your head."
