Why is there no new episode of Saturday Night Live Season 52 this week?
Saturday Night Live Season 52 is taking another week off, and so there's no new episode on October 24. Even though there's no pivotal reason, the late-night shows tend to take a mid-season gap after the first three to four episodes to give the cast and crew a break from the hectic schedule.
Saturday Night Live Season 52 will return next week on October 31, 2026, with a Halloween special episode. Inde Navarrette will serve as the host, and Gracie Abrams will be the musical guest for the Halloween night SNL episode. The episode will air at 11:30 PM ET/10:30 PM CT on NBC. Viewers can also stream the episode on Peacock. Viewers can also watch clips of the sketches, monologues, and performances on SNL's official YouTube channel.
