- Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd are set to reunite on the 78th Emmy Awards stage, marking the 50th anniversary of the 1976 series Charlie's Angels.
- Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz will reunite as Buffy the Vampire Slayer stars ahead of the cult drama's 30th anniversary in March; Boreanaz is also promoting his new NBC series The Rockford Files.
- Zendaya, a two-time Emmy winner for Euphoria, joins the presenter lineup alongside Florence Pugh, star of the upcoming Netflix limited series East of Eden, and Sally Field, an Emmy nominee for Remarkably Bright Creatures.
- Dan Levy and Annie Murphy of Schitt's Creek will present, with Murphy potentially participating in a tribute to the late Catherine O'Hara, a fellow Emmy winner from the show.
- Alan Cumming, fresh off a Saturday Emmy win for hosting Peacock's The Traitors, headlines a roster of NBCUniversal talent that also includes Peter Krause, Amy Poehler, Keke Palmer and Marcello Hernández.
- Linda Cardellini and David Harbour, who won the Supporting Actor/Actress in Limited or Anthology Series Emmys on Sunday in categories moved out of the main telecast, are also tapped to present.
- The September 14 broadcast from the Peacock Theater will be hosted by Mariska Hargitay and executive produced by Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay of Jesse Collins Entertainment.
Why it matters: The presenter list doubles as an NBCUniversal cross-promotional showcase: eight of the named presenters are tied to current or upcoming NBC/Peacock projects (Hargitay, Boreanaz, Krause, Poehler, Palmer, Hernández, Cumming, Levy), meaning the ceremony functions as an ad for the network's own slate. The Catherine O'Hara tribute also signals the telecast will lean into legacy TV nostalgia to anchor ratings.
