SNL Season 52 Cast Complete with Addition of Reiter and Belo-Osagie
The additions come after SNL lost two cast members and sought to restore Black female representation, with a new title sequence possibly filming soon.
- On Wednesday, NBC confirmed that comedians Saidah Belo-Osagie and Grace Reiter will join Saturday Night Live as featured players for the show's upcoming 52nd season.
- SNL executives evaluated more than a dozen comedians during auditions held in Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago earlier this summer to fill vacancies left by recent departures.
- Belo-Osagie's addition restores Black female representation to the cast after Ego Nwodim's departure left the show without a Black woman among regular players during Season 51.
- These hirings follow the departures of long-time cast member Chloe Fineman after seven seasons and writer Martin Herlihy after five seasons as the show reshapes its lineup.
- The new season kicks off on September 26 with New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson hosting and KATSEYE making their debut as the musical guest.
