The two brothers were arrested over new criminal charges.
Andrew and Tristan Tate have vowed to contest a bid to extradite them to the UK.
The brothers appeared before a court in Florida after being arrested on a British extradition request over dozens of new criminal charges, which they deny.
Those include rape, human trafficking and sexual assault offences, while Andrew Tate also faces charges relating to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography.
The case will return to court next week as the extradition process continues.
