The Cast of ‘Saturday Night Live’ Set to Resume Live Shows in October
It’s been announced that Saturday Night Live will be live once again following the COVID-19 pandemic.
The iconic sketch show will be returning to Studio 8H on October 3 to kick off its 46th season.
SNL hasn’t aired a live show since Daniel Craig hosted back in March. Since then it has only aired three episodes that cast members recorded remotely as well as a tribute to Hal Willner, the shows music coordinator who passed away in April from the coronavirus.

This isn’t the first NBC show to be returning to Rockefeller Center. Productions like Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon have also made their returns. Meyers started filming earlier this week and Fallon has been in the studio since July.
NBC also hasn’t released how many episodes will be included in this upcoming season, but it is safe to assume that there will be multiple episodes following the premiere. We can’t wait to see what SNL has in store for its premiere.
