Rosalía will take the stage for the second time as musical guest. The Grammy winner just wrapped her global "Lux" tour.

Following a two-week break, "SNL" will return on Oct. 31 with Inde Navarrette making her hosting debut. The actress is the breakout star of the hit horror-thriller "Obsession" and will star in the upcoming "X-Men" film and "The Waffle House Index."

Gracie Abrams will make her second appearance as musical guest. The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter will embark on "The Look at My Life" tour this December in support of her third studio album, "Daughter from Hell."

"SNL" was the #1 broadcast comedy series in the 18-49 demo for the 2025-26 season. The series received 11 Emmy nominations for its 51st season, extending its record as the most Emmy nominated and most Emmy winning series in history.
