Chloe Fineman is leaving Saturday Night Live after seven seasons, making her the first cast member to exit in the show's 51st season. She confirmed the news on Instagram, calling SNL 'the greatest privilege,' with her final episode airing May 16 — hosted by Will Ferrell, with Paul McCartney performing. Blaze Trends reported she is now headed to Netflix.
Fineman has joined the cast of Netflix's upcoming drama series Myron Bolitar, based on Harlan Coben's novels. She joins a growing ensemble that includes Colin Woodell, KJ Apa, Diane Guerrero, Jabari Banks, Jamie McShane, and Ben McKenzie, according to My Clallam County.
Seven Seasons of Impressions and a Pandemic Breakout
Fineman joined SNL as a featured player at the start of the 2019-20 season. She broke out during the pandemic era, when SNL produced episodes remotely. Those early appearances made her a fan favorite fast.
By Season 51, she had become the show's longest-serving female cast member. Her impression catalog grew wide — Timothée Chalamet, JoJo Siwa, Sydney Sweeney, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Coolidge, Anna Delvey, and even fellow cast member Kate McKinnon were all in her repertoire.
Instagram Farewell, Lipstick Jokes, and a Graceful Exit
Fineman's goodbye post on Instagram was candid and warm. She reflected on her time at SNL and even joked about a sketch involving 'lipstick for thicc dogs.' The tone was light, even as she said goodbye to a seven-year chapter.
Her final episode on May 16 was a big send-off. Will Ferrell hosted and Paul McCartney performed — a fitting stage for one of the show's most versatile players to take her final bow.
Backstage Tensions Surfaced but Were Disputed
Not everything behind the scenes was smooth. Page Six reported mixed relationships between Fineman and some cast members. Claims surfaced that she could rub people the wrong way or expect special accommodations.
Other sources pushed back on those accounts. The competing versions paint a murky picture of her final months at 30 Rock. No single account has been confirmed, and the tension remains unresolved publicly.
Myron Bolitar and a Full Film Slate Signal What Comes Next
The Netflix move is a big step. Myron Bolitar is based on Harlan Coben's popular mystery novels. The show already has a strong cast. Fineman joins Jabari Banks, Ben McKenzie, KJ Apa, and Diane Guerrero, according to WEIS Radio.
Fineman also has film projects lined up, including Megalopolis, Freakier Friday, and Despicable Me 4. She has done voice work on Netflix's Big Mouth as well. The next chapter looks fuller than just one Netflix drama.
