Saturday Night Live returns tonight for the second episode of its 52nd season. Dakota Johnson hosts, with the band Turnstile as musical guest.

The season started last week, on September 26, with New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson as host and the group Katseye performing. This season also brings two new cast members: Grace Reiter, known for YouTube sketch work including "American High," and Saidah Belo-Osagie, a New York City content creator and clown performer.

SNL airs live at 11:30 p.m. Eastern on NBC, which you can watch through cable, satellite or an over-the-air antenna. Check your local listings for the time in your area. If you subscribe to Peacock Premium Plus, you can stream your local NBC station live. Peacock Premium subscribers can watch the full episode on demand the morning after it airs.

The next few weeks are already set. Shane Gillis hosts on October 10 with Rosalía, and Inde Navarrette hosts on October 31 with Gracie Abrams.

Tonight is also one of the first chances to see how the two newest cast members fit in. Reiter and Belo-Osagie filled the two spots that opened after season 51.

If staying up late is not your thing, the episode will be easy to catch on Sunday, so you can sleep on a Saturday night and still be part of Monday's conversation.
