There’s a shakeup at Studio 8H, as a handful of “Saturday Night Live” cast members have left the show ahead of its 51st season.

The exodus began on Aug. 25 with the departure of Devon Walker, who wrote on Instagram that sometimes his time on “SNL” was “really cool” and “sometimes it was toxic as hell.” Then came announcements from Emil Walker, Michael Longfellow and Heidi Gardner, who exited the NBC sketch comedy show after eight seasons.

While some newer faces expressed sorrow over being let go from “SNL,” it’s expected that some longer-tenured cast members may choose to leave on their own ahead of the Oct. 4 premiere of Season 51, as showrunner Lorne Michaels paves the way for new additions.
