Live from New York… it’s Season 47 of Saturday Night Live! The long-running comedy sketch series returned to Studio 8H at Rockefeller Center last fall with a slew of famous faces making their hosting debuts in the season’s first few episodes. Ted Lasso star (and SNL alum!) Jason Sudeikis hosted SNL for the very first time, as did Loki star Owen Wilson (who was the season premiere host), Kim Kardashian West and Bohemian Rhapsody Oscar winner Rami Malek.
While the final show of 2021, hosted by Paul Rudd, did not have a live, in-studio audience due to a spike in the Omicron variant, SNL is slated to return in 2022 with an audience once again.

Which SNL cast members came back for Season 47 of Saturday Night Live?
Less than a week before the premiere of the new season, the full cast of SNL Season 47 was finally revealed, and—good news!—most of the show’s beloved stars are back.
Almost everyone from Season 46 officially returned for Season 47—except for longtime cast member Beck Bennett and featured player Lauren Holt, who was a cast newbie in Season 46.
Bennett bid farewell to the series by writing in a Sept. 27 Instagram post, “Love you, SNL. Gonna miss you so much. Thank you for 8 years of remarkable people and incredible experiences that completely changed my life. I had so much fun.”
Variety reported in August 2021 that SNL creator Lorne Michaels “hopes to get some cast members to agree to stay through the show’s 50th” season. While there was speculation that Strong, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant and Kenan Thompson might be leaving the show following the Season 46 finale—in which all four took to the show’s main stage and delivered what felt like a tearful, bittersweet cold open—we now know that they’re back for Season 47 alongside returning stars Kyle Mooney, Mikey Day, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Colin Jost, Michael Che, Alex Moffat, Ego Nwodim, Chris Redd, Melissa Villaseñor and Bowen Yang. Season 47 will also feature Andrew Dismukes and Punkie Johnson, who joined as featured players last season.
During an interview with costars Strong and McKinnon back in August 2021, Bryant told The Hollywood Reporter, “I feel like SNL makes you incredibly good at not banking on anything. You’re able to take it minute by minute by minute, and you almost realize how foolish it is to do anything else. So, at least for the three of us, I feel like that’s become our approach on coming back or, really, about anything. Just take it minute by minute and see.” (McKinnon, for her part, agreed with Bryant’s sentiment by adding, “Absolutely,” while Strong called her remarks “beautiful.”)
Meanwhile, Thompson has said that he is “never in a rush to leave.” As he explained to Chance the Rapper at SXSW in March 2021, “There aren’t many live shows left [on TV]. It never gets old because it’s sketch comedy and it changes every week.”
Is Pete Davidson back for Season 47 of Saturday Night Live?
Yes! The 27-year-old returned for for SNL Season 47.
Davidson admitted to GoldDerby in June 2021 that he was unsure if another SNL season was in the cards for him. “I don’t know what the plan is,” he confessed. “Everything’s kind of up in the air right now just depending on scheduling.”
The actor added that Season 46 of the NBC series was “really emotional” and noted, “It is my seventh year, and that’s usually what the contract’s usually for.”
In the Season 46 finale, Davidson signed off from Weekend Update saying, “I’m very grateful to be here and it’s been an honor to grow up in front of you guys.”
Will there be any new cast members on Season 47 of Saturday Night Live?
SNL has added three featured players to the cast for the upcoming season: Aristotle Athari, James Austin Johnson and Sarah Sherman.
Will there be a live audience this season on Saturday Night Live?
There will be a live studio audience this season of SNL. Per NBC, all guests are required to be fully vaccinated on the day of the show and must adhere to all applicable COVID protocols. They will also have to show proof of vaccination e.g. a valid Excelsior Pass or physical vaccination card.
