Mac Gruber Series Creators on Trying to Get Christopher Nolan to Direct an Episode

With MacGruber blessing our timeline with eight new thirtyminute episodes on Peacock starting this Friday, I recently got to speak with writers, directors, producers, showrunners Jorma Taccone and John Solomon about making the series. As a longtime fan of MacGruber, Im happy to say the new episodes are fantastic and loaded with scenes that will make you laugh out loud.

But when a mysterious villain from his past, Brigadier Commander Enos Queeth (Billy Zane), threatens the world, MacGruber must reassemble his old team, Vicki St. Elmo (Kristen Wiig) and Dixon Piper (Ryan Phillippe), in order to defeat the forces of evil.
