“Saturday Night Live U.K.” is set to be renewed for a second season.

Although Sky initially declined to comment, multiple sources confirmed the news to Variety, saying that despite rocky ratings the Comcast-owned network are thrilled with the show.

Since Variety first published news of the renewal, Sky have confirmed the second season will air in fall 2026 and early 2027 with an initial 12-episode order. “SNL” creator and “SNL U.K.” exec producer Lorne Michaels said in a statement: “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 U.K.’ I’m excited for the season ahead.”
