Pete Davidson, Ice Spice and Bad Bunny will help usher in the latest season of “Saturday Night Live,” weeks after the writers’ strike ended in late September.
NBC announced Wednesday that “SNL” Season 49 will premiere on Oct. 14, with Davidson returning to host for the second time this year. Ice Spice, best known for her hits “In Ha Mood” and “Princess Diana,” will be his musical guest as she makes her Studio 8H debut.
On Oct. 21, Bad Bunny will return to “SNL,” pulling double duty as the show’s host and musical guest. It will be the Latin pop star’s first time hosting the sketch series and his second time performing. He first graced the stage in February 2021.
The network also revealed Wednesday that the entire cast, including Bowen Yang, Ego Nwodim and Chloe Fineman, will return for Season 49. Comedian Chloe Troast joins the cast as a featured player this season.
