Saturday Night Live is returning for its 42nd season a week from Saturday. Given they only plan for guests a couple weeks out of each episode, we don’t know who will be hosting the show and performing for much of the 20-something episodes.

The show did announces its first guests of the season, though: Margot Robbie and The Weeknd.

On October 1, Ms. Robbie — who ran the summer with Suicide Squad and The Legend Of Tarzan — will take part in the sketches, and the Weeknd will perform twice.

It’s a given he’ll perform “Starboy” — the title track from his upcoming album featuring Daft Punk. The other listed single from Starboy — out Novmeber 25 — is “False Alarm,” so it wouldn’t be surprising for him to debut it on the Studio 8H stage.
