Overview
- SNL UK announced Tuesday that Nicola Coughlan will host on April 25 with Foo Fighters, followed on May 2 by Aimee Lou Wood with MEEK.
- The series returns from a one-week hiatus on April 25 and will air four consecutive Saturdays to complete an eight-episode debut season.
- Foo Fighters mark the show’s first international musical guest, drawing on their long US SNL history and arriving a day after their new album’s April 24 release.
- Wood’s booking follows her criticism of a 2025 US SNL parody that mocked her teeth, a sketch that prompted an apology from the American show.
- Early overnight viewership slid from about 226,000 at launch to roughly 131,000 by episode three, though catch-up on Sky/NOW and next-day Peacock streaming expand total reach.
