Aubrey Plaza made a surprise cameo on SNL for a humorous The Hunting Wives skit during a star-studded episode.
The 41-year-old actress — who appeared for the show’s 50th anniversary special earlier this year — sent the live audience into a frenzy as she took part in a pre-recorded sketch with host Amy Poehler.
The Parks And Recreation alumna played a character in a fictional season two trailer of the Netflix series, which premiered on the streaming site back in July.
A voiceover kicked off the video by saying, ‘Millions of Americans tuned in for season one of The Hunting Wives, the straight but lesbian horney Republican murder drama. And now it’s back for more.’
SNL cast member Chloe Fineman played a newcomer to the town and could be seen walking into a house.
Poehler portrayed one of the ‘hunting wives’ and donned a plunging green dress and said, ‘Well, look what the cat dragged in.’

The clip then showed snippets of the characters, such as them drinking inside a kitchen or spending time outside hunting together.
Fake reviews appeared on the screen, such as from People magazine which read: ‘It’s like Call Me By Your Name for women who shop at Bass Pro Shop.’
Towards the end of the pre-recorded skit, the voiceover said, ‘And things get even crazier when a new, new girl joins the group.’
Plaza then appeared as she strolled up to the women who were sitting outside sipping on mimosas.
‘Hey, ladies. I’m new here,’ the actress said while removing her sunglasses. ‘I just moved from California.’
Poehler explained, ‘We’re just making mimosas. Pull up a chair.’
‘Oh, I’ve never made mimosas before,’ Plaza admitted, which prompted Fineman to offer with a smirk, ‘I’ll show you.’

The cast of the first season included Brittany Snow, Malin Akerman, Evan Jonigkeit, Katie Lowes and Dermot Mulroney.
Plaza made an appearance on SNL back in February during the show’s 50th anniversary special to introduce musical guests Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard.
