Saturday Night Live UK is set to return for its second season on 12 September, with Hollywood icon Jeff Goldblum hosting the series premiere. The British version of the popular American sketch comedy show will air on Sky and NOW, with all 11 members of the original UK cast returning for the new season. As in previous episodes, each live broadcast will feature a different celebrity host, musical guest, and a variety of topical sketches. Jeff Goldblum, best known for his role as Dr. Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park, will make his debut as host of the UK edition of SNL. He previously hosted the original Saturday Night Live in the 1990s to promote the Jurassic Park film series. The musical guest for the series premiere will be Irish singer-songwriter CMAT, whose real name is Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson. CMAT has been twice nominated for a Brit Award and recently won best album at the Ivor Novello Awards for her third album, Euro-Country. The first season of SNL UK, which launched in March, initially faced some skepticism but ultimately received mostly positive reviews. It was extended from six to eight episodes based on audience response. The second season was confirmed in May, with the return date set for 12 September. The original cast, including Hammed Animashaun, Ayoade Bamgboye, Larry Dean, and others, will all be returning for the new season. The second season will consist of 12 episodes, with the first six scheduled to air between September and October. Lorne Michaels, the creator and producer of the original Saturday Night Live, has praised the UK version, noting that it "keeps getting better every week." The show continues to blend American-style sketch comedy with British humor, aiming to entertain and reflect current events in the UK.
