SNL UK Series 2 Hosts and Musical Guests: Every Episode So Far
SNL UK Series 2 has six episodes this autumn, hosted by Jeff Goldblum, Jamie Demetriou, Amelia Dimoldenberg, Danny Dyer, James Norton and Cynthia Erivo. The run began on Sept. 12 and ends on Saturday, Oct. 24, with Erivo hosting and Blossoms as musical guest. Each episode reaches Peacock in the U.S. the next day.
Sky, which makes the show, announced the autumn dates on Sept. 8 and the last three hosts on Sept. 29. The Futon Critic's Peacock listings and TVmaze's episode list carry the same six names in the same order, so every row below has more than one source.
Who is hosting each episode of SNL UK Series 2?
| U.K. air date (Saturday) | Host | Musical guest | On Peacock in the U.S. | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sept. 12 | Jeff Goldblum | CMAT | Sunday, Sept. 13 | Aired |
| Sept. 19 | Jamie Demetriou | Royal Blood | Sunday, Sept. 20 | Aired |

| Oct. 24 | Cynthia Erivo | Blossoms | Sunday, Oct. 25 | Scheduled for Oct. 24 |
The Peacock column is the day after each British broadcast, which is how NBC describes the U.S. release and how the listings date each episode.
How many episodes are in SNL UK Series 2?
Six this autumn. Sky's announcement describes them as the first six episodes of the series and says more shows are planned for early 2027. It gives no dates or hosts for those, so none appear here. Any Saturday after Oct. 24 isn't on a schedule we can check.
Why is there no SNL UK on Oct. 3?
It was a planned gap. The Sept. 8 dates ran Sept. 12, 19 and 26, then resumed on Oct. 10, and neither TVmaze nor the Peacock listings show an Oct. 3 or Oct. 4 episode. Sky hasn't given a reason for the week off, so we don't offer one.
How did Series 1 compare?
Series 1 ran eight episodes, from Mar. 21 to May 16, and began with Tina Fey as host and Wet Leg as musical guest. The Peacock listings number those episodes 101 to 108 and put them on the Sundays from Mar. 22 to May 17. Series 2 episodes are numbered 201 and up in the same listings.
Short answers
Is SNL UK on live in the U.S.? No. NBC's guide lists only the next-day Peacock stream for American viewers. The Saturday night show is British, on Sky and its streaming service NOW. For the NBC show, which is live, see how to watch SNL live.
Who is hosting the next SNL UK? Cynthia Erivo, on Oct. 24, is the last name on the announced schedule. The week-by-week answer lives on our SNL UK host page, and the performers are on the SNL UK cast page.
Is the American SNL new this week? That is tracked separately on the new-or-rerun page, and its host list is on the Season 52 hosts page. A name goes into this table once the broadcaster's announcement and the listings agree, as set out on how we make this. If something here is wrong, the corrections address is on the about page.
