Overview
- Sky’s recommission, announced Thursday, expands the show from an eight-episode debut to a 12-episode run that will extend into early 2027.
- Sky moved ahead despite modest overnight ratings after official clips surpassed about 86 million views and reviews were broadly positive.
- SNL creator Lorne Michaels said the show is improving week by week, while Sky’s Phil Edgar-Jones called it the network’s most talked-about series of the year.
- Episodes will air live on Sky One at 10 p.m. in the U.K., with Peacock streaming them in the U.S. the next day under producers UTAS UK and Broadway Video.
- Each episode costs about £2 million, making this an unusually expensive British sketch show and a bet that could influence Sky’s future programming choices.
