Based on the long-running Saturday Night Live skit of the same name — and serving as a sequel to the 2010 film — MacGruber is now a TV series.
According to Taccone, Nolan himself is a big fan of the MacGruber movie, even going so far as to quote the film on the set of his own The Dark Knight Rises.
Upon discovering Nolan’s affinity for MacGruber, the showrunners lobbied hard to get him to direct an episode of the TV adaptation.
The series also stars Sam Elliot, Laurence Fishburne, Joseph Lee Anderson, and Timothy V. Murphy. MacGruber lands on Peacock beginning this Thursday, December 16.
