Lorne Michaels Documentary Sets Release at Focus Features
Focus Features will release “Lorne,” a documentary about “Saturday Night Live” creator Lorne Michaels, in theaters on April 17, 2026, the studio announced Friday.
Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville (“Won’t You Be My Neighbor”), the film offers an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the man who built and sustained SNL for nearly five decades.
Focus Features holds worldwide rights, with Universal Pictures International handling international distribution.
The documentary features exclusive footage, archival material and candid interviews with some of SNL’s most iconic cast members and writers, including Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, John Mulaney, Andy Samberg, Conan O’Brien and Chris Rock.
“Lorne” marks the fourth collaboration between Focus Features and Neville, following “Piece by Piece,” “Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain” and “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” which won Best Documentary at the 2019 Independent Spirit Awards.
