CBS has MacGyver, an action series reboot of the 1985 show of the same name. Soon, Peacock will have MacGruber, an action-comedy that's based on the same show. Today, the streaming service announced an eight-episode pickup of the series that began as a parody sketch on Saturday Night Live and was later adapted as a feature film.
Will Forte will reprise his role as the title character of MacGruber and will also co-write and executive produce on the series. Deadline reports that Ryan Phillippe and Kristen Wiig, who co-starred in the 2010 movie, are in talks to join the Peacock series.
Here's some additional information, as well as a teaser, from Peacock:
