‘Saturday Night Live UK’ confirms more guests for season two line-up

Saturday Night Live UK has confirmed more guests for its upcoming second season line-up.

Hollywood actor Jeff Goldblum was announced as the first host of the new season of Saturday Night Live UK, with CMAT as musical guest last week for this coming weekend.

Now, it has been confirmed that Stath Lets Flats star Jamie Demetriou will host the following week (September 19) and Royal Blood will also take to the stage.

For the third show on September 26, comedian and host of the web series Chicken Shop Date, Amelia Dimoldenberg will front SNL UK with Rachel Chinouriri providing the musical entertainment.

Dimoldenberg previously teamed up with with Maisie Peters on the video for her single ‘My Regards’ earlier this year.

The British spin-off of the long-running US sketch comedy show debuted on Sky One in March with former SNL US cast member Tina Fey as the host and Wet Leg as the musical guest. Since then, celebrities including Jamie Dornan, Riz Ahmed, and Nicola Coughlan have hosted, while music acts have included Kasabian, Foo Fighters, and MEEK.

Last month, it was announced that the series would be returning for season two, with an initial run of six episodes starting on September 12, and more planned for 2027.

Broadcaster Sky promised a “fresh season of unpredictable, must-watch Saturday night television.” All 11 eleven original cast members will return for the season.

The show has received a generally warm reception, but has made headlines with its humour. Earlier this year, cast member Ania Magliano responded to controversy surrounding her joke that drew comparisons between Mark Zuckerberg and Hitler, describing the tech billionaire as “fair game,” and said that she was “kind of detached” from any online criticism.
