Notably, Teller and Gleeson will be taking the studio 8H stage after starring in films that are in the conversation for Oscars this year. Teller was in Top Gun: Maverick, which may be nominated for Best Picture, while Gleeson will star opposite Colin Farrell in The Banshees of Inisherin and may be nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
SNL is returning on Oct. 1 for what creator Lorne Michaels has described as a "transition year" after eight different cast members left the show: Kate McKinnon, Kyle Mooney, Aidy Bryant, Pete Davidson, Melissa Villaseñor, Alex Moffat, Aristotle Athari, and Chris Redd.
Marcello Hernandez, Molly Kearney, Michael Longfellow, and Devon Walker are joining the cast, though, while returning stars include Kenan Thompson, Bowen Yang, Michael Che, and Colin Jost.
