Sky Unveils Cast for 'Saturday Night Live UK' Ahead of March 2026 Debut

Sky has released the first teaser trailer for the British version of NBC's iconic sketch show, 'Saturday Night Live UK'. The 30-second clip features the cast walking down a London street towards a venue with a neon 'Saturday Night Live UK' sign.

The cast includes Hammed Animashaun, Ayoade Bamgboye, Larry Dean, Celeste Dring, George Fouracres, Ania Magliano, Annabel Marlow, Al Nash, Jack Shep, Emma Sidi, and Paddy Young. The voiceover announces: 'Live from London, it's Saturday night. The new faces of Saturday Night Live have arrived on Sky.'

Plans for the British remake were confirmed last April, with the six-episode first series set to premiere on Sky on March 21, 2026. Guest presenters are expected to be announced soon; The Sun reported that Tina Fey will host an episode, though Sky declined to comment.
