‘Saturday Night Live’ Casts Saidah Belo-Osagie & Grace Reiter As Featured Players For Season 52
Saturday Night Live has two new featured players for Season 52: Saidah Belo-Osagie and Grace Reiter.
We were first to report on this duo being eyed for the show — first at showcases, and then at screen tests. This adds to recent SNL news which included the departure of Chloe Fineman and Martin Herlihy after seven and five seasons, respectively. Herlihy had most recently been working as a writer on the show, after originally writing and performing as part of sketch trio Please Don’t Destroy.
Belo-Osagie’s hiring comes following a season in which SNL had no Black female cast members. Producers had been looking to rectify this, per our sources, since Ego Nwodim’s surprise exit in the fall of 2025.

‘SNL’ Adds New Cast Members Grace Reiter and Saidah Belo-Osagie, Completing Season 52 Ensemble
“Saturday Night Live” has added its first new cast members to Season 52.
Grace Reiter and Saidah Belo-Osagie are joining the NBC sketch comedy series, which returns on Sept. 26 with host Jalen Brunson.
This is the final “SNL” casting announcement of the season, Variety has learned, with all remaining members of the Season 51 cast returning for Season 52. Of course, that does not include Chloe Fineman, who announced her departure in July, or Bowen Yang, who left mid-season in December. Variety also reported that Martin Herlihy of Please Don’t Destroy is leaving his post as a writer.
Reiter is a Wisconsin-born stand-up comedian and actor who amassed a large following on TikTok and YouTube before she went on to star in Tim Robinson’s HBO comedy series “The Chair Company.” She’s also a member of American High’s sketch team and stars in the upcoming series “Minimum Wage.” Earlier this year, she was listed as one of Variety‘s 10 Creators to Watch.
