‘Saturday Night Live’ Sets U.K. Edition, Launching on Sky in 2026
NBC's comedy institution 'Saturday Night Live' is crossing the pond to launch a British edition in partnership with Sky.
The iconic late-night sketch show, which has been a cornerstone of American pop culture since 1975, will debut “Saturday Night Live U.K.” in 2026, bringing its signature mix of political satire, celebrity impersonations and musical performances to British and Irish audiences. Universal Television Alternative Studio, headed by president Toby Gorman with Helen Kruger-Bratt overseeing the London and Australian production teams, has found success adapting other formats internationally, including “Hollywood Game Night,” “The Wall,” and “That’s My Jam.” Germany’s “RTL Samstag Nacht” (1993–1998) featured local celebrities and occasionally welcomed American personalities like Mel Brooks and Michael Winslow, though language barriers limited their participation.
