Inde Navarrette to Host "Saturday Night Live" Halloween Episode

Inde Navarrette, the breakout star of the recent horror hit "Obsession," is set to host "Saturday Night Live" for the first time on its Halloween episode tonight, October 31. She will be joined by musical guest Gracie Abrams, who recently announced a deluxe version of her album "Daughter from Hell."

This marks the fifth time in "SNL's" 52-season history that an episode has aired live on Halloween night. The most recent Halloween broadcast was in 2020, hosted by John Mulaney.

The episode is scheduled to air live coast-to-coast at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT. Viewers without cable can stream the show for free through a five-day trial of DIRECTV's Choice package, which includes NBC. Alternatively, a seven-day free trial of Peacock Premium is available, with new "SNL" episodes typically streaming on the platform Sunday mornings.

Navarrette's hosting gig follows her role in "Obsession," which has garnered attention. Abrams previously made her "SNL" debut in December 2024.

This season's schedule includes upcoming episodes hosted by Druski on November 7, with The Strokes as musical guest, and John Mulaney on November 14, with Phoebe Bridgers. Hosts for December episodes are yet to be announced.

The "Saturday Night Live" Season 52 cast includes repertory players Michael Che, Mikey Day, Andrew Dismukes, Marcelo Hernández, James Austin Johnson, Colin Jost, Ashley Padilla, Sarah Sherman, Kenan Thompson, and Jane Wickline. The featured players for the season are Saidah Belo-Osagie, Tommy Brennan, Jeremy Culhane, Ben Marshall, Kam Patterson, Grace Reiter, and Veronika Slowikowska.
