“Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!” Or at least, it will be very soon.
Saturday Night Live, the iconic comedy variety show created by producer Lorne Michaels, is on its way with season 51, according to NBC’s website.
Whether you prefer watching new episodes live or catching viral clips online, SNL remains a cornerstone of American culture.
Watch With Us has everything you need to know about the return of Saturday Night Live coming this fall. Read on to learn more.
When Will ‘SNL’ Season 51 Premiere?
NBC recently announced that Saturday Night Live will return on Saturday (of course), October 4, 2025, in its 11:30 p.m. EST time slot.
Who Will Be the Host and Musical Guest for the ‘SNL’ Season 51 Premiere?
No host has been announced yet for the October 4 premiere, but fans can most likely expect a big name. Hacks star Jean Smart hosted the premiere of SNL 50, while former cast member Pete Davidson opened the 49th season, and Miles Teller of Top Gun: Maverick hosted the premiere in 2022 for season 48.
Similarly, no announcements have been made regarding the musical guest. Jelly Roll was the musical guest for last year’s premiere, while Ice Spice and Kendrick Lamar were the guests in the two previous season premieres.
Who Is Returning to the Cast of ‘Saturday Night Live’ Season 51?
Each new season of SNL often sees some series regulars depart and some up-and-coming talent arrive in the new cast, but there is no news on that front yet.
