After a stellar first season, Sky confirms that Saturday Night Live UK will be returning to our screens this September. The show will return for a second season.
Saturday Night Live UK will return for a second series, as Sky confirms it has commissioned 12 more episodes of the British incarnation of NBC’s legendary late-night comedy showcase.
The news comes as the landmark first series draws to a close next week, which has so far seen Tina Fey, Jamie Dornan, Riz Ahmed, Jack Whitehall, Nicola Coughlan, and Aimee Lou Wood go live from London on Saturday night.
Sky confirmed series two will return to Sky One, with its 12 episodes airing between autumn 2026 and early 2027.
LORNE MICHAELS AND PHIL EDGAR
Lorne Michaels, Executive Producer, said:
“I’m incredibly proud of our team and the show. It keeps getting better every week. I’m grateful to Dana Strong and Sky for believing in and supporting SNL UK. I’m excited for the season ahead.”
Phil Edgar-Jones OBE, Executive Director, Unscripted Originals, Sky, said:
“It’s fair to say people doubted SNL would work in the UK, but thanks to Lorne Michaels, his longtime Saturday Night Live producing team and UTAS UK, alongside our brilliant cast and writers, SNL UK is Sky’s most talked about show of the year. It’s now firmly part of the cultural conversation and we’re thrilled the show will be returning in the Autumn, bringing laughter and mischief to our audiences, live from London on a Saturday night!”
