SNL 1975 will take us back to October 11, 1975, the night when the first episode of Saturday Night Live took place. It will depict the chaos and magic of a revolution that almost wasn’t and follow a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers who changed TV forever.

Morris (New Girl), O’Brien (The Maze Runner), Smith (May December), and Wood (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) joined the cast as Garrett Morris, Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, and John Belushi, respectively.

They’ll be in pretty good company on set since the cast of this project also includes 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, and Kim Matula as Jane Curtin.

Reitman conducted an extensive series of interviews with all the living cast members, writers, and crew alongside co-writer Gil Kenan before penning the script. They’ll also produce SNL 1975 alongside Jason Blumenfeld, Erica Mills, and Peter Rice.

Woke centers on an African-American cartoonist Keef Knight (Morris) who was on the verge of mainstream success when an unexpected incident changed his life. After years of keeping things light and avoiding controversial topics in his comics, he decides to change his tune after being racially profiled by overly aggressive policemen.

Woke draws inspiration from the life of cartoonist Keith Knight, who co-created the show alongside Marshall Todd. Jay Dye served as the showrunner of the first season, and Anthony King took over from him when the show returned for its second season this April.

Morris told Entertainment Weekly that Woke tries to answer the question, “How do you speak for the voiceless?” and showcased how “we are a product of our environment, and if you grow up a certain way, you grow up a certain way, but then every once in a while you gotta just stop, and shift, and make it a point to see things differently.”

In addition to Morris, Woke also starred Blake Anderson, T. Murph, Sasheer Zamata, and JB Smoove.
