The 47th season of “Saturday Night Live” kicked off with the season premiere on Oct. 2, 2021 with host Owen Wilson and musical guest Kacey Musgraves, as well as the return of almost the entire “SNL” cast from last season.

But those who make it a habit to watch “SNL” when it’s on may be wondering, is “SNL” new tonight? No, “SNL” is now officially on summer hiatus after the season finale episode aired May 21 with host Natasha Lyonne — and marked the exits of cast members Pete Davidson, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant and Kyle Mooney.

“SNL” will return likely sometime in September for Season 48, but for now you’ll have to make do with reruns and clips that are streaming on Peacock.

While there was speculation that major cast members like Kenan Thompson, Pete Davidson, Cecily Strong and Aidy Bryant might leave “Saturday Night Live” in Season 47, all four returned. The only cast members who did not come back for the latest season were Beck Bennett and Lauren Holt.

In addition to the returning cast members, “SNL” added three new performers to its ensemble: Aristotle Athari, James Austin Johnson and Sarah Sherman. Johnson made a big splash in the season opener by playing Joe Biden, as the comedian first came to prominence on social media for his uncanny impression of Donald Trump.

The rest of the cast for “Saturday Night Live” Season 47 included Bryant, Strong, Davidson, Thompson, Michael Che, Mikey Day, Heidi Gardner, Colin Jost, Kate McKinnon, Alex Moffat, Kyle Mooney, Ego Nwodim, Chris Redd and Melissa Villaseñor, with Andrew Dismukes and Punkie Johnson as featured players.

So, will there be another new episode tonight, on May 21? Let's take a closer look at what fans can expect from the current season.

There were also some switch-ups in the writer's room, when the show hired thirteen new writers: Mike DiCenzo, Billy Domineau, Alex English, Martin Herlihy, John Higgins, Vanessa Jackson, Tesha Kondrat, Ben Marshall, Jake Nordwind, Ben Silva, Rosebud Baker, Clare O'Kane and Nicole Sun.

Sadly, SNL Season 47 will end with four long-term cast members leaving: Aidy Bryant, Kate McKinnon, Kyle Mooney and Pete Davidson. Hopefully, however, that means new talent will appear during Season 48 in the fall.
