And repertory players who returned for the season were Andrew Dismukes, Bowen Yang, Chloe Fineman, Colin Jost, Heidi Gardner, Kenan Thompson, James Austin Johnson, Michael Che, Mikey Day, and Sarah Sherman.

Chloe Troast, Punkie Johnson, and Molly Kearney did not return after Season 49.

What else is there to know about SNL Season 50?

Creator Lorne Michaels promised that SNL‘s 50th season will be a big one: “The 50th will be a big event. We’ll bring everyone back from all 50 years and hosts and all of that. It will be a very emotional and very strong thing. There won’t be as many plus-ones, I can tell you that much,” he told The New York Times. He also told Entertainment Weekly that he may retire after Season 50, saying, “I have a feeling that would be a really good time to leave.” He later recanted that statement and suggested he’ll be back for Season 51.

One way the show’s new season is already bigger than the rest is that there was a biopic film about the creation of the very first SNL episode that hit theaters on October 11, and there’s a 50th-anniversary special, which aired on NBC on Sunday, February 16, 2025.
