Saturday Night Live will return for a final crop of 2020 shows in December.

The three-week run of shows will be hosted by Jason Bateman, Timothée Chalamet, and Kristen Wiig, with respective musical guests Morgan Wallen, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, and Dua Lipa.

Wallen was originally slated to appear on the show in October, but had his invitation revoked after violating NBC and SNL's strict COVID-19 safety protocols. Wallen apologized publicly and expressed remorse for his actions, respecting the show's decision.

This will be Chalamet's first time hosting SNL, and Bateman's first since 2005 (several lifetimes ago). Wiig was part of the SNL cast from 2006 to 2012 and hosted in 2013, and is returning this time to promote Wonder Woman 1984 which will hit theaters and HBO Max Christmas Day. Springsteen and Dua Lipa have also appeared on the show before, and we could see them popping by the sketches as well as performing on stage.

Saturday Night Live returns Saturday, Dec. 5 on NBC.
