Saturday Night Live changes up its cast annually. Many cast members stay for years while others come and go. The show has been on for 47 years and has featured over 150 cast members, many of which go on to have very successful acting careers.
Now, creator Lorne Michaels is asking several veteran cast members to remain on the show until 2024, which will mark its 50th anniversary. He hopes to keep Kenan Thompson, Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong, and Aidy Bryant, even though they all have other gigs going on.
‘SNL’ is hoping to keep veteran cast members
Even so, SNL is currently on the search for new talents so new faces will likely pop up next season. Some fans wondered if some of the veteran cast members would be leaving after this past season. The last show ended with a sketch talking about how difficult the year has been.
