The Saturday Night Live sketch-turned-feature film is now filming its revival for Peacock, and franchise lead Will Forte has unveiled a behind-the-scenes shot of himself back in the saddle.
All three appeared in the MacGruber film in 2010 and are expected to appear in every episode of the Peacock series.
“After rotting in prison for over a decade, America’s ultimate hero and uber patriot MacGruber is finally released,” a previously-released synopsis for the series reads.
At the time, he and the others in the writer’s room had been writing the show in hopes of an order.
“Well, I will say we are not officially green lit but we did just an hour ago turn in our writer’s draft of the eighth of eight episodes,” Forte told us at the time.
Forte is writing and producing the show along with Jorma Taccone and John Solomon, with Taccone serving as director — the same role he initially held on the film.
