- NBC will air a three-episode Law & Order: SVU marathon on Thursday, Sept. 10, featuring Mariska Hargitay's Emmy-nominated and Emmy-winning episodes as a tribute to her upcoming Emmy hosting debut.
- Mariska Hargitay will host the Emmy Awards for the first time at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Monday, Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
- The SVU marathon lineup features "Charisma" (originally aired Nov. 16, 2004), "911" (originally aired Oct. 4, 2005), and "Undercover" (originally aired April 15, 2008) — her Emmy-nominated and winning installments.
- Hargitay earned the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2006 and has received 8 total nominations for her portrayal of Detective Olivia Benson.
- Law & Order: SVU returns for its Season 28 premiere on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, with the long-running procedural set to surpass 600 episodes later this year.
- My Mom Jayne, Hargitay's documentary about her mother Jayne Mansfield, earned two additional Emmy nominations this year for Outstanding Documentary or Non-Fiction Special and Outstanding Director for a Documentary/Non-Fiction Program.
Why it matters: The Sept. 10 marathon gives NBC a promotional runway into Hargitay's Sept. 14 Emmy hosting debut, while the Oct. 8 Season 28 premiere anchors the network's fall lineup. With three active Emmy nominations this year — acting legacy plus directorial debut on My Mom Jayne — Hargitay enters the ceremony she hosts as its most-decorated active nominee.
