All five Culkin brothers to star in show together for the first time

While they might have played each other's relatives or younger selves, they've never all worked together

All five of the Culkin brothers are going to star in a show together for the first time.

You know who I mean, the famous Culkins with an absolute whopping about of film credits between them. And despite the occasional appearance between them, they’ve never actually all worked on the same project together.

Christian, Kieran, Macaulay, Rory and Shane might all look incredibly similar in real life and despite them not actually appearing in real life in this new show, it’s still going to be tough to tell them apart.

Kieran Culkin is starring as Dr. Plowp in the upcoming animated series, The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy.

Set thousands of years into the future, it also features Stephanie Hsu, Sam Smith, Keke Palmer and Maya Rudolph.

The show sees two alien best mates and ‘intergalactically renowned surgeons’ taking on ‘anxiety-eating parasites, illegal time loops, and deep-space STIs’.

And in one episode, Keiran will be joined by his brothers Macaulay, Rory, Christian and Shane - as his character's brothers - as they celebrate St. Cthonk’s Day. Yeah, I haven’t got a clue either.

And in case you don’t know who all five of the Culkin lads are:

Any Succession fan will probably know this brother best for playing Roman Roy – a role which landed him a Golden Globe and an Emmy.

Aged 41, his first role was actually Kevin’s cousin Fuller McCallister in Home Alone.

After various child roles, he went on to appear in the likes of Music of the Heart, Igby Goes Down and The Mighty.

Well obviously, the 43-year-old brother is best known for playing Kevin McAllister in the first two Home Alone films.

Married to Disney Channel star Brenda Song, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame towards the end of last year.

Macaulay has also starred in the likes of Richie Rich, Party Monster and American Horror Story.

Rory Culkin

The youngest of the brothers, Rory started off often playing the younger versions of Macaulay and Kieran in the likes of Richie Rich and Igby Goes Down.

The 34-year-old has also appeared in the likes of Scream 4, Signs, Gabriel and Swarm.

Christian Culkin

The 37-year-old doesn’t have has many acting credits as his brothers but appeared in 1994’s My Summer Story alongside Kieran.

Christian seems to have stepped out of the spotlight mostly and nowadays works as a writer. Well, and as an animated alien for a one-off I guess.

Shane Culkin

The eldest of the brothers at 48, Shane has stayed mostly out of the spotlight.

He appeared on Broadway in Our Town back in 1988.

With all five brothers together, The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy lands on Prime Video on 23 February.
