The cast of Saturday Night Live UK Sky<\/p>\n
With just two more weeks left on the inaugural run of Saturday Night Live UK, speculation is now mounting about whether another season could be on the cards.<\/p>\n
After premiering in March, the UK edition of SNL got off to a strong start<\/a>, with strong ratings for an original Sky show and a positive reaction from viewers and critics.<\/p>\n Since then, admittedly, viewing figures have dipped somewhat<\/a>, but the show\u2019s sketches have continued to receive a positive response online, with two of the latest episode\u2019s offerings \u2013 the \u201ccold open\u201d riffing on King Charles and Queen Camilla\u2019s recent trip to Washington D.C.<\/a> and a Super Mario parody starring George Fouracres Aimee Lou Wood<\/a> \u2013 already among the show\u2019s most-watched ever on YouTube.<\/p>\n Now the end of the season is in sight, lead producer James Longman has spoken to IndieWire<\/a> about whether another is in the pipeline.<\/p>\n \u201cDefinitely not for sure,\u201d he responded, cryptically. \u201cBut I stay away from these discussions, I\u2019m just trying to make a funny show.\u201d<\/p>\n Longman also spoke favourably of the show\u2019s reviews, with critics claiming at the time they were pleasantly surprised with the UK cast\u2019s spin on the SNL format<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s the classic British angle, essentially, we thought it was going to be **** and it\u2019s actually alright,\u201d Longman quipped, noting that this is something he considers a compliment.<\/p>\n The 11 performers who make up the full cast of Saturday Night Live UK Charlotte Rutherford\/Sky UK<\/p>\n SNL legend Tina Fey fronted the first episode of the UK show, and in the weeks since, it\u2019s been hosted by Jamie Dornan, Riz Ahmed, Jack Whitehall, Nicola Coughlan and Aimee Lou Wood.<\/p>\n Hannah Waddingham will serve as guest presenter<\/a> this coming week, while Ncuti Gatwa will see the show out in style<\/a> as the season\u2019s last host.<\/p>\n Going by YouTube views, the show\u2019s topical cold opens have proved most popular, as well as the aforementioned Mario sketch, a musical \u201cPub Song\u201d performed by the cast with Jamie Dornan<\/a>, another Jamie effort set during a hostage situation<\/a> and a makeup advert parody led by Tina Fey<\/a>.<\/p>\n SNL UK continues on Saturday night at 10pm on Sky and Now.<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The cast of Saturday Night Live UK Sky With just two more weeks left on the inaugural run…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":943346,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[17710,77,239414,50946,7167,219665,90080,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-943345","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-aimee-lou-wood","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-james-longman","11":"tag-jamie-dornan","12":"tag-saturday-night-live","13":"tag-saturday-night-live-uk","14":"tag-super-mario","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116532249030606165","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=943345"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943345\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/943346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=943345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=943345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=943345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1ed4aeccbc204d1f865e6ca278b27238.jpeg\"\/)
