The film takes place on Oct. 11, 1975 — and, fittingly, releases in theaters on Oct. 11, 2024 — when “a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television forever,” per the official synopsis. “This is the true story of what happened that night behind the scenes in the moments leading up to the first SNL broadcast, retelling chaos and magic of a revolution that almost wasn’t, counting down the minutes in real time to the infamous words, ‘Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!'”
The iconic inaugural SNL cast will be brought to life by Cory Michael Smith (as Chevy Chase), Ella Hunt (as Gilda Radner), Dylan O’Brien (as Dan Aykroyd), Matt Wood (as John Belushi), Kim Matula (as Jane Curtin), Lamorne Morris (as Garrett Morris) and Emily Fairn (as Laraine Newman), with Gabriel LaBelle playing longtime SNL boss Lorne Michaels.
