Saturday Night Live starts its 48th season soon and there are a lot of changes afoot, but first, here are the first three episodes' hosts and musical guests: the October 1 season premiere features Kendrick Lamar as musical guest with Top Gun: Maverick's Miles Teller as host; on October 8 it's musical guest Willow with great British thespian Brendan Gleeson (starring in Oscar contender The Banshees of Inisherin) as host; and on October 15, Megan Thee Stallion will be pulling double duty and host and musical guest.

As to those changes, the cast will look pretty different than it did in May. Not returning: Melissa Villaseñor, Chris Redd, Alex Moffat, Aristotle Athari, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, and Pete Davidson. As for new blood, SNL has only added four new cast members: Molly Kearney, Michael Longfellow, Devon Walker, and Marcello Hernandez.
