SNL 1975 adds Finn Wolfhard, Kaia Gerber and Andrew Barth Feldman

March 13, 2024 by Ricky Church

Deadline reports Jason Reitman’s SNL 1975 has added three new members to its ensemble cast. Finn Wolfhard (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire), Kaia Gerber (Bottoms) and Andrew Barth Feldman (No Hard Feelings) are the latest to join the film that takes a look at the origins of Saturday Night Live and its first live episode.

SNL 1975 will be directed by Reitman and written by him and Gil Kenan based on a number of interviews they conducted with the still-living original cast and crew of Saturday Night Live for its debut episode.

Wolfhard is set to play an NBC page, Gerber will portray Jacqueline Carlin, a supporting cast member of SNL and Chevy Chase’s ex-wife, and Feldman will play Neil Levy, SNL‘s talent coordinator at the time of its premiere.

On October 11, 1975, a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television forever. SNL 1975 is the true story of what happened behind the scenes that night in the moments leading up to the first broadcast of NBC’s Saturday Night Live. It depicts the 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!”

SNL 1975 stars Gabriel LaBelle as Lorne Michaels, Cooper Hoffman as Dick Ebersol, Rachel Sennott as Rosie Shuster, Ella Hunt as Gilda Radner, Emily Fairn as Laraine Newman, Kim Matula as Jane Curtin, Dylan O’Brien as Dan Aykroyd, Lamorne Morris as Garrett Morris, Cory Michael Smith as Chevy Chase, Matt Wood as John Belushi, Nicholas Braun as Jim Henson, Tommy Dewey as Michael O’Donoghue, and Nicholas Podany as Billy Crystal.
