Sketch show "Saturday Night Live" is returning to US television with a new, remotely produced show this weekend, broadcaster NBC said on Thursday.
The network said the satirical show, which shut down production in mid-March because of the coronavirus outbreak, would feature original content from "Saturday Night Live" cast members, including the regular "Weekend Update" segment.
"Saturday Night Live," with its mix of topical sketches, songs and celebrity appearances, has been a cultural favorite in the United States since 1975.
NBC gave no details about who would appear on the show which will be broadcast on April 11 at its regular 11:30 pm ET (0330 GMT Sunday) time slot.
