It’s a big year for the venerable franchise. Jason Reitman‘s SNL origins movie, Saturday Night will have a limited release in Los Angeles, NYC and Toronto beginning Sept 27 before breaking wide on Oct. 11.
And then in February, SNL will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a weekend-long look back at the sketch series, culminating with a three-hour live primetime special on Sunday, Feb. 16.
There’ll be some new talent on the Studio 8H stage this fall: Ashley Padilla, Emil Wakim and Jane Wickline are joining the ensemble to help fill the void left by departing players Chloe Troast, Molly Kearney, and Punkie Johnson. In the meantime, Marcello Hernández, Michael Longfellow and Devon Walker have been upped to repertory status.
