The British version of the legendary late night comedy show will return in September for 12 more episodes – up from eight in the first season, which itself was increased from an original order of six episodes.
The Tina-Fey hosted launch reached 528,000 viewers after seven days, and despite a subsequent dip in overnight viewership, the series continued to make a significant impact online, with more than 86 million social media views reported by Sky.
Speaking about the renewal news, SNL creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels said: "I'm incredibly proud of our team and the show. It keeps getting better every week. I'm grateful to Dana Strong and Sky for believing in and supporting SNL UK. I'm excited for the season ahead."
"It's now firmly part of the cultural conversation and we’re thrilled the show will be returning in the autumn, bringing laughter and mischief to our audiences, live from London on a Saturday night!"
Sky has confirmed that the 12 SNL UK episodes for season 2 will air between autumn 2026 and early 2027, so expect some weeks without a new episode as the cast and crew take a break from the intense schedule (as traditionally happens on the US version).
