“Saturday Night Live” is returning for its 52nd season, and it will be a star-studded affair.
The sketch show announced that the season premiere, set to air on Sept. 26, will be hosted by Jalen Brunson, who recently led the New York Knicks to their first NBA Championship in 53 years, with music from popular K-pop group Katseye. Both Brunson and Katseye will be making their “SNL” debut.
The Oct. 3 episode will be headlined by Dakota Johnson and hardcore rock band Turnstile. Johnson, whose film “Verity” hits theaters on Oct. 2, returns to “SNL” for the third time, while Turnstile makes their “SNL” debut amid their Never Enough Tour Pt. 2.
Shane Gillis will host “SNL” for the third time on Oct. 10 with Rosalía as musical guest. Gillis broke the Guinness World Record for largest stand-up audience this summer and recently released Season 3 of his Netflix show “Tires,” while Rosalía will wrap up her Lux world tour the month before her second time at “SNL.”
Lastly — and perhaps most excitingly — this year’s Halloween episode will be hosted by Inde Navarette, the breakout star of the hit horror film “Obsession.” She will be joined on Oct. 31 by musical guest Gracie Abrams, who returns to “SNL” for the second time after releasing the album “Daughter From Hell” earlier this year.
