Who Is Hosting SNL UK This Week? Host, Musical Guest and When It Hits Peacock
Cynthia Erivo hosts the next SNL UK, on Saturday, Oct. 24, with Blossoms as musical guest. The episode goes out live in Britain at 10 p.m. U.K. time on Sky, and American viewers get it the next day, Sunday, Oct. 25, on Peacock. James Norton was scheduled to host the Oct. 17 episode with The Streets.
Sky named Norton on Sept. 29 in the announcement that filled all of October. Danny Dyer hosted the first of those three episodes, on Oct. 10, with Sasha Keable as musical guest.
Who is hosting SNL UK next week, and the week after?
James Norton hosts on Oct. 17 with The Streets, and Cynthia Erivo hosts on Oct. 24 with Blossoms. All three October pairings come from Sky's own press release, and the U.S. listings The Futon Critic publishes for Peacock carry the same names in the same order.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sept. 12 | Jeff Goldblum | CMAT | Sunday, Sept. 13 | Aired |
| Sept. 19 | Jamie Demetriou | Royal Blood | Sunday, Sept. 20 | Aired |
| Sept. 26 | Amelia Dimoldenberg | Rachel Chinouriri | Sunday, Sept. 27 | Aired |
| Oct. 3 | No episode | No episode | No episode | Week off |
| Oct. 10 | Danny Dyer | Sasha Keable | Sunday, Oct. 11 | Aired |
| Oct. 17 | James Norton | The Streets | Sunday, Oct. 18 | Scheduled for Oct. 17 |
| Oct. 24 | Cynthia Erivo | Blossoms | Sunday, Oct. 25 | Upcoming |
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.
Why was there no SNL UK on Oct. 3?
It was a planned gap. When Sky set out the autumn dates on Sept. 8, the list ran Sept. 12, 19 and 26, then picked up again on Oct. 10. No Oct. 3 episode was ever on it, and nothing was listed for Peacock on Oct. 4. Sky hasn't given a reason for the week off, so we don't offer one.
When does SNL UK come to Peacock?
The day after it airs in Britain. NBC's viewing guide for the show says episodes stream next day on Peacock in the U.S., which makes Sunday the day to look. The guide lists no live American broadcast, so the Saturday night show itself is a British one, on Sky and its streaming service NOW.
The hour is less settled. The Futon Critic's listings put this season's Peacock releases at 10:01 a.m. ET on Sundays. That is a single listings source and NBC's guide gives no time, so read it as a listing and not a promise.
How many episodes are left this season?
Two in this run. Sky has said Series 2 opens with six episodes this autumn, ending Oct. 24, with more planned for early 2027. No dates or hosts for the 2027 episodes have been announced. Any Saturday past Oct. 24 isn't on a schedule we can check, and the table stops there for that reason.
Short answers
Is SNL UK the same show as SNL? No. It is a separate British series made for Sky, with its own cast, hosts and musical guests. The American show is on NBC on Saturdays, and its host this week is on a different page.
Who hosted SNL UK last time? Danny Dyer, on Oct. 10, with Sasha Keable as musical guest.
Can I watch SNL UK live in the U.S.? NBC lists only the next-day Peacock stream for American viewers. For the NBC show, which Peacock does carry live, see how to watch SNL live.
