Fans of Will Forte’s goofy action hero MacGruber can take heart, as Forte is finally set to reprise the role for a new series on NBCUniversal’s Peacock streaming service.
The MacGruber series is one of six new Peacock-exclusive projects announced today, hours ahead of NBCUniversal’s investor meeting. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the lineup also includes new comedies produced by Mindy Kaling and Amy Poehler, as well as an animated series based on the podcast/graphic novel series The Adventure Zone.
