The season reduced ads by 30%, removing two commercial breaks to increase episode content. Much of the season's content centered around the 2016 Presidential Election. The season was also notable for having three episodes in which the hosts joining the Five-Timers Club, with Scarlett Johansson, Melissa McCarthy, and Dwayne Johnson all hosting for the fifth time.
Beginning on the April 15th Episode, episodes began to air live in all four time zones, rather than running live in the East and Central time zones, while being tape-delayed in the Mountain and Pacific Time Zones.
Prior to the start of the season, longtime cast members Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah had both left the show after six years, as well as featured player Jon Rudnitsky, was released from the cast. Killam, despite having signed a seven-year contract that would have taken him to the end of this season, was dropped from the cast due in part to issues concerning his work directing the film Killing Gunther, which would have limited his time on the show. Following Killam, Pharoah, and Rudnitsky's departures, the show added three new featured players: Mikey Day (promoted from the writers' room), Chicago improviser Alex Moffat, and stand-up comedian and impressionist Melissa Villaseñor. Michael Che, Pete Davidson, and Leslie Jones were all promoted to repertory status.
Though not a member of the cast, it was announced on September 28, 2016, that Alec Baldwin began a continuous cameo as Donald Trump, taking over from longtime former cast member Darrell Hammond, who continued as the show's announcer.
This was the final season for cast members Bobby Moynihan, Vanessa Bayer, and Sasheer Zamata. Moynihan had been on for nine seasons since 2008, Bayer had been on the show for seven seasons since 2010, and Zamata had been on the show for four seasons since 2014.
Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider were the head writers for this season.
