Saturday Night Live will return to NBC for season 52 on September 26 at 11:30 p.m. ET. The date marks the show's earliest premiere in more than a decade.
The sketch comedy series has set its season 52 premiere for Saturday, September 26. This timing comes earlier than recent seasons, with the last comparable start occurring in September 2012.
Cast changes will be evident upon return. Chloe Fineman announced her exit after seven seasons. In a statement on Instagram, she said, "After seven wonderful seasons at 'SNL,' I have decided it's time for my next chapter. It's cliche to say this but working at 'SNL' has been the greatest privilege of my life."
Fineman has joined the cast of the upcoming Netflix drama Myron Bolitar. The premiere news was first reported by LateNighter and confirmed by TVLine.
