When Does ‘Saturday Night Live’ Return With New Episodes? ‘SNL’ Season 51 Premiere Date/Ticket Info

Live from New York… NBC is airing a rerun of Saturday Night Live. Hmm… that doesn’t quite have the same ring to it, does it?

We’re all missing new episodes of SNL, but we have a few streaming suggestions to hold you over until the series returns for Season 51. The show’s official YouTube page recently uploaded a 39-minute video moderated by Fred Armisen and featuring cast members Bowen Yang, Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim, Chloe Fineman, Sarah Sherman, and James Austin Johnson discussing the show’s historic 50th season.

If you want to take a look back at previous seasons, Saturday Night Network’s comprehensive “Everything You Need To Know About SNL“ is an absolute must-stream. Available on YouTube, the series offers episode-by-episode breakdowns that explore full seasons of the venerable late-night sketch series. But when exactly does the new season of SNL start? Great question.
