Saturday Night Live is getting a documentary. The long-running variety sketch series is in the midst of its 50th season, and to celebrate, Peacock will be airing a four-part documentary in the new year, according to AV Club. Premiering on Jan. 16, SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night will include at least 60 contributors. The episodes will center on the audition process, the writers’ room, the infamous “More Cowbell” sketch, and Season 11 that saw Lorne Michaels return after a five-year hiatus with a brand new cast including Robert Downey Jr. and Joan Cusack.
“I’ve been obsessed with Saturday Night Live as long as I can remember,” creator Morgan Neville said in a statement. “For SNL50, I’ve been lucky to collaborate with some of my favorite independent filmmakers to tell some deeper stories of SNL. Taken together, these standalone episodes give a new perspective of SNL and what makes it work.”
