Variety

The three acting legends have boarded the Peacock series starring Will Forte, Kristen Wiig and Ryan Phillippe. Elliott will play Perry, MacGruber’s father. Though they’ve drifted apart over the years, MacGruber will need his father’s sage guidance if he hopes to succeed. Fishburne will play General Barrett Fasoose, a highly decorated soldier who commands the respect of the entire US military -- and is married to MacGruber's ex-wife, Wiig's Vicki St. Elmo. Rourke will take on the role of Brigadier Commander Enos Queeth, a mysterious villain from MacGruber's past. MacGruber's mission is to take down Queeth.
