Hannah Waddingham, Ncuti Gatwa to Close Out 'SNL UK' Season 1
The pair will each open with a monologue and sketches as the 75-minute episodes close out the show’s first season, producers said.
On Saturday, SNL U.K. announced actors Hannah Waddingham and Ncuti Gatwa as the final two hosts for its inaugural season.
The comedy series expanded its first season from six to eight episodes, with Waddingham hosting on May 9 and Gatwa on May 16.
Waddingham will be joined by Brit Award winner Myles Smith for the May 9 edition, while Gatwa headlines the May 16 installment alongside indie-pop singer Holly Humberstone.
A Deadline analysis revealed the show is frequently going viral online, with TV ratings settling at more than 100,000 live viewers, reaching 784,000 through streaming and repeats.
Executive produced by Lorne Michaels, the series airs on Sky and NOW, though the broadcaster has not yet formally renewed the production for a second season.
