Sky’s highly anticipated U.K. version of Saturday Night Live has secured a U.S. home on Peacock, with the streaming platform landing next-day rights to the show, which launches later this month.
Saturday Night Live UK premieres on March 21 on Sky One and NOW in the U.K., arriving on Peacock March 22 with new episodes dropping weekly.
“Saturday Night Live is one of the most influential comedy brands in the world, and bringing the U.K. edition to Peacock is a natural extension of that legacy,” said Liz Jenkins, chief business officer at NBCUniversal Entertainment. “As the streaming home of SNL, Peacock is proud to introduce bold new British voices to a global stage.”
Hammed Animashaun, Ayoade Bamgboye, Larry Dean, Celeste Dring, George Fouracres, Ania Magliano, Annabel Marlow, Al Nash, Jack Shep, Emma Sidi, and Paddy Young are part of the ensemble cast for the comedy variety show, which is produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio’s UK production team and Broadway Video for Sky and NOW.
