**Saturday Night Live UK** is officially halfway through its maiden season. The show, which premiered on March 21 with inaugural host and **SNL** legend Tina Fey, ushered in a solid start for its relatively unknown cast of British social media stars and stand-up comedians. According to **The Hollywood Reporter**, the review concluded that "Good cast, spotty writing — like the mothership," about the London spin-off of Lorne Michaels' long-running NBC sketch show.
The debut episode, which aired on Sky (and is available on Peacock in the U.S.), was watched by over 220,000 people in Britain. With musical guest Wet Leg, the opener's sketches were wide-ranging and made use of the U.K.'s overflowing roster of talented performers.
Taking over from Fey on March 28 was **Fifty Shades of Grey** star Jamie Dornan, supported by rock group Wolf Alice. He passed the hosting baton to Riz Ahmed, promoting his new Amazon series **Bait**, alongside Kasabian on April 3. And on April 11, British comedian Jack Whitehall hosted with musical guest Jorja Smith. Whitehall might be familiar to Americans as the emcee for **F1 75 Live** last year.
Next up, **Bridgerton** star Nicola Coughlan is set to host the next show on April 25, with the Foo Fighters as her musical guest. She'll be promoting season two of her Channel 4 dramedy **Big Mood**. Following that, **The White Lotus** alum Aimee Lou Wood has been confirmed to take the reins on May 2, accompanied by British singer-songwriter Meek.
Despite a strong start in viewership, the most recent episode — with Ahmed — saw a 42% audience plunge. It was watched by just 130,950 people in the U.K.
The season regulars on **SNL UK** include Hammed Animashaun, Ayoade Bamgboye, Larry Dean, Celeste Dring, George Fouracres, Ania Magliano, Annabel Marlow, Al Nash, Jack Shep, Emma Sidi, and Paddy Young. Here, **THR** rounds up a definitive list of the announced hosts and musical guests, which will be updated as new names are announced:
- **Mar. 21**: Tina Fey, Wet Leg
