Saturday Night Live UK 

Sky is bringing NBC’s long-running late-night comedy showcase, Saturday Night Live, to the UK and Ireland in 2026. 

A star-studded line-up of hosts will take to the stage to declare, “Live from London, it’s Saturday Night!” in this brand-new edition of the programme. 

SNL creator Lorne Michaels is set to executive produce Saturday Night Live UK, in addition to continuing to executive produce SNL on NBC in the US. SNL UK will be produced by Broadway Video and Universal Television Alternative Studio’s UK production team. 

The London-based series will follow the same live, fast-paced style that has made the show a cultural phenomenon with iconic hosts, musical guests and a core cast of the funniest British comedians around. 

Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO of Sky Studios and Chief Content Officer, Sky, said: “For over 50 years Saturday Night Live has held a unique position in TV and in our collective culture, reflecting and creating the global conversation all under the masterful comedic guidance of Lorne Michaels. The show has discovered and nurtured countless comedy and musical talents over the years and we are thrilled to be partnering with Lorne and the SNL team to bring an all-British version of the show to UK audiences next year – all live from London on Saturday night!”

More details on the show’s UK debut, including cast, hosts, musical guests and premiere date, will be announced in the coming months.
