Here's how to tune in to 'Saturday Night Live UK' from the U.S. (NBC/Sky) (NBC/Sky)

More than 50 years after the premiere of Saturday Night Live – a New York institution – the series has spun-off and now there's a distinctly British version hitting the airwaves live from London. Saturday Night Live UK first premiered in March on Britain's Sky One channel, and while most the cast may not be familiar to U.S. audiences, the show's formula is exactly the same. The weekly sketch comedy series – also produced by Lorne Michaels – features a celebrity guest host and a musical guest, along with a Weekend Update news segment and more. If you're curious to see how the British version stacks up, the good news is that you can tune in easily; every episode will be available on Peacock on Sunday afternoons in the U.S., the day after their U.K. premieres.
