- Jorja Smith is confirmed as the musical guest for the same episode, following her 2023 album "Falling or Flying" and ahead of her All Points East Festival headline.
- "Saturday Night Live U.K." will take a week-long break after the April 11 show, returning on April 25, as noted by both Variety and Deadline.
- The series, initially planned for six episodes, was extended to eight and has seen solid ratings and positive reviews for its darker, more surreal British humor, despite a slight dip in viewership for the Jamie Dornan-hosted episode.
