“#’MacGruber’ Showrunners on Taking Inspiration From James Bond’s ‘Skyfall’<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a long journey for the co-creators of Peacock\u2018s newest series<\/a> MacGruber<\/em> as the titular character transformed from an iconic Saturday Night Live <\/em>sketch into a cult classic 2010 movie that all led to this 2021 show.<\/p>\n

But despite the more-than-10-year absence from people\u2019s screens, Jorma Taccone and John Solomon have been busy at work cooking up ideas with Will Forte in an attempt to continue the mighty MacGruber<\/em>\u2018s story. \u201cWe probably started just involuntarily throwing out ideas of what a sequel could be,\u201d Solomon recalls. \u201cAnd then Jorma actually wrote a sequel. And then a few years ago we figured out that we weren\u2019t going to be able to make a MacGruber<\/em> 2<\/em> that would be in theaters, so it became a TV series.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had an 11-year-old Google document because we do love the character and had been wanting to make a sequel forever so there\u2019s a ton of ideas that we had just been adding to,\u201d Taccone chimes in, revealing the source of their joke keeping.<\/p>\n

With the help of Peacock, Taccone, Solomon, and Forte were able to lift their ideas and app<\/a>ly them to the series. \u201cAnd then all of a sudden we were in Albuquerque with Kristen Wiig, Ryan [Phillippe], and Will and that\u2019s the moment where you\u2019re just like, \u2018oh, whoa, these people are so good,’\u201d Solomon muses.<\/p>\n

Despite the show being largely a parody of the \u201980s MacGyver <\/em>series, MacGruber<\/em> has a little extra special influence from one of the world\u2019s most notable spies: James Bond. When asked if the new series took some inspiration from the popular franchise, Solomon admits, \u201cSkyfall<\/em> is a big thing that we talk about. It\u2019s always going to be [influenced by] Commando<\/em>, Predator<\/em>, Die Hard<\/em>, and those movies. But Skyfall<\/em> [was important] because of the emotion in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Considering the fact that they were stretching a story across eight half-hour episodes as opposed to a single two-hour film, there had to be certain beats they met. \u201cIf it\u2019s possible to say, we had to go deeper,\u201d Solomon continues. \u201cThat\u2019s what Skyfall<\/em> was [for James Bond] because all of that childhood trauma and stuff is funny to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The family trauma Solomon is referring to is the death of MacGruber\u2019s mother (played by Marielle Heller). MacGruber consistently recalls the tragic death of his mother at his birthday party when he was young, believing the murderer to be Billy Zane\u2018s Brigadier Commander Enos Queeth.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s one of the driving forces behind MacGruber\u2019s actions, and as Taccone notes, \u201cyou\u2019ll notice all the dynamics have changed since the movie. There\u2019s a lot of tension when you come back into this triangle of the three of them. And it\u2019s very intentional because we wanted to be able to play on all those dynamics throughout all of the episodes.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for whether we\u2019ll see more of the series, nothing is official yet, but Taccone and Solomon are certainly throwing out ideas as they hope possible future chapters would take their hero around the globe \u201ctaking place in different countries\u201d like Russia or China. Stay tuned to see if it comes true and relive every laugh in MacGruber\u2019s <\/em>new episodes on Peacock now.<\/p>\n
