Inde Navarrette is still in the spotlight. The breakout actress from the horror hit “Obsession” will be hosting Saturday Night Live. Fittingly, she’ll be hosting the season’s Halloween episode, lending plenty of opportunities to reprise some of the year’s most popular scares.
SNL made the announcement earlier today, revealing its upcoming slate of hosts and performers. The season premiere will kick off on September 26th, with Knicks star Jalen Brunson as host, and music performed by Katseye. The following week, Dakota Johnson will host, with the band Turnstile serving as the show’s musical performer.
On October 10th, Shane Gillis will return to the show as host with Rosalia as musical guest. The last guest that was announced was Navarrette, hosting on October 31st with Gracie Abrams as musical performer.
“See you Goblins and Ghouls live from New York on 10/31,” Navarrette wrote on Instagram. “Thank you, SNL!”

“Obsession” came out in May of this year, becoming the rare low-budget movie that has continued to grow in popularity and appreciation as the months pass.
Starring Navarrette and Michael Johnston, the film served as a launching pad for Navarrette, positioning her as one of the most exciting young actors. Last month, it was announced that she would be playing Rogue in the upcoming “X-Men” movie, an exciting moment for fans of the franchise and for her career.

When discussing the Oscar buzz, Navarrette told Variety: “If I’m even invited it’ll be so cool to kind of sit in that theater and experience in real life what I’ve loved watching. It’s just so cool.”
