Saturday Night Live UK is gearing up for its second season, and the premiere on September 12 is shaping up to be a memorable one. Jeff Goldblum, the man behind iconic roles in Jurassic Park and the recent Wicked films, will be hosting. But Goldblum isn’t just a movie star. He’s also a working jazz musician who released an album called“Night Blooms”this past June. That’s a pretty impressive double act.
Joining him as the musical guest is Irish singer CMAT, who’s been building a loyal following with her genre-blending sound. She recently dropped a live EP recorded at a Dublin show. But there’s a twist: CMAT has been open about feeling exhausted, saying she’s“literally losing my mind”after six straight years of touring. She’s planning to take a break from the road in 2027, which shows a level of self-awareness that’s rare in the music biz.
The new season will feature six episodes, with more planned for 2027. Season one saw hosts like Tina Fey, Jamie Dornan, and Riz Ahmed. There’s also been some chatter about cast member Ania Magliano, who faced backlash over a joke about Mark Zuckerberg but stood by it, calling him“fair game.”With that mix of big names and sharp comedy, this season should be worth a watch. Who would you love to see host next? Drop your pick in the comments.
