NOTES TO EDITORS

Broadcast live each week, this brand new British version brings the highwire, anything can happen energy audiences expect from SNL - reimagined through a distinctly British lens.

Written, rehearsed and performed in the week of broadcast, preserving SNL's famously fast turn around creative process. Each show is staged in front of a live studio audience, every episode features an opening monologue, topical sketches, live music, and a UK adaptation of SNL's iconic satirical news segment, Weekend Update.

Together, this first wave of hosts, musical guests and cast members marks the beginning of a bold new chapter for the globally acclaimed SNL franchise - blending its storied legacy with a fresh generation of British comedy voices.

SNL UK is produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio's UK production team and Broadway Video for Sky and NOW. Lorne Michaels is executive producing, James Longman serves as Lead Producer, Liz Clare as Director and Daran Jonno Johnson as Head Writer. UTAS UK Productions is overseen by Managing Director Helen Kruger Bratt. Shanna Baynard serves as Executive in Charge of Production; Andy Charles Smith is the Lead Producer for UTAS UK Productions alongside Sam Salter, Production Executive. SNL UK was commissioned by Phil Edgar-Jones, Executive Director of Unscripted Originals and Lisa Clark, Commissioning Executive at Sky, for Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO of Sky Studios & Chief Content Officer for Sky.
