“Saturday Night Live U.K.” is set to return for a second season, according to reports from Variety, Deadline, and The Hollywood Reporter. All three outlets say Sky has given an early renewal after reviewing performance and production progress from the show’s current run. Variety reports that Sky initially declined to comment, but multiple sources confirmed the decision. Deadline adds that Sky and Universal Television Alternative Studio (UTAS) approve a second season before the first season finishes, describing the renewal as a greenlight based on what they “liked” so far, even as ratings have been characterized as challenging by some reporting. Deadline also specifies the second season will expand to an extended 12-episode run beginning in fall 2026. The Hollywood Reporter frames the renewal through statements from the show’s executive producer, Lorne Michaels, who expresses pride in the team and says the series continues to improve week to week. Together, the outlets consistently report the renewal and its timing, while differing mainly on how they characterize the underlying audience metrics and the lead-in to Sky’s confirmation.
