HBO Max today confirmed that the highly anticipated Saturday Night Live UK — a bold British reimagining of the long-running US comedy institution — will premiere in Australia on Monday, 23 March, only on HBO Max. The six‑episode series, produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio’s UK production team and Broadway Video for Sky and NOW, will stream exclusively on HBO Max Australia.
Filmed live each week in London, SNL UK will bring the high-energy, topical, unpredictable format of the original NBC series — featuring a brand-new ensemble of rising comedy talent.
The inaugural 11-member cast includes some of the UK’s most exciting and fast-emerging comedic voices:
- Hammed Animashaun

- Larry Dean
- Celeste Dring
- George Fouracres
- Ania Magliano
