“Charlie’s Angels” and “Angel” were among the first group of presenters revealed on Wednesday for the 78th Emmy Awards happening Monday night on NBC and Peacock.
Stars from “Charlie’s Angels” — Kate Jackson, Cheryl Ladd, and Jaclyn Smith — are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the classic ABC series and are set to present together, promising a much-anticipated reunion on stage. The trio had previously gathered to celebrate the milestone at a PaleyFest panel in Hollywood earlier this year.
Also joining the presenters is David Boreanaz, known for his role in the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” spinoff “Angel.” He will present alongside “Buffy” star Sarah Michelle Gellar, suggesting they might share the stage. Boreanaz is also promoting his upcoming NBC drama remake of “The Rockford Files.”
Presenters will include “DTF St. Louis” stars Linda Cardellini and David Harbour, both of whom won Emmys last weekend for their performances in the outstanding limited/anthology actress and actor categories, respectively. Although their awards were initially scheduled to be presented during the NBC broadcast, they were moved to Night 2 of the show, leading to some controversy. Their achievements will now be acknowledged at the main ceremony.
Additional presenters confirmed for Monday include Odessa A’zion, Macaulay Culkin, Alan Cumming, Sally Field, Jon Hamm, Marcello Hernández, Peter Krause, Dan Levy, Julianna Margulies, Annie Murphy, Niecy Nash-Betts, Keke Palmer, Amanda Peet, Amy Poehler, Florence Pugh, Rachel Sennott, and Zendaya.
Alan Cumming received an Emmy over the weekend for outstanding host for a reality or reality competition program and is also nominated for the reality competition category on Monday. To date, he has won five Emmys.
Sally Field is up for lead actress in a limited/anthology series or movie, following her Netflix film “Remarkably Bright Creatures” winning for outstanding movie over the weekend. If she takes home the award, she will become the oldest recipient in that category at age 79.
Zendaya is nominated for drama lead actress for her role in “Euphoria.” A win would make her the youngest performer ever to secure three lead drama Emmys.
Further presenters will be announced later, according to NBC and the TV Academy.
The 78th Emmy Awards will be broadcast live from the Peacock Theater at LA Live on Monday, September 14, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on NBC and Peacock.
Hosting the event is “Law & Order SVU” star and executive producer Mariska Hargitay, who recently won two Emmys for her documentary “My Mom Jayne.” The telecast will be produced by Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay from Jesse Collins Entertainment, along with Mariska Hargitay.
