NBC is scheduled to broadcast a “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (SVU) marathon featuring Mariska Hargitay’s standout performances on Thursday, Sept. 10. The special programming is presented as a tribute connected to her role as the upcoming host of the Emmy Awards.
Multiple outlets report that the marathon includes three episodes airing back-to-back: “Charisma” (2004), “911” (2005), and “Undercover” (2008). NBC highlights Hargitay’s Emmy-winning work in “911,” while also selecting other episodes in which she previously earned Emmy nominations, according to Variety. Deadline additionally notes that viewers will also be able to watch the show’s Season 28 premiere two days later than the marathon date, with the new season episode set for Thursday, Oct. 8 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Overall coverage focuses on NBC’s scheduling and the specific episode lineup chosen to honor Hargitay ahead of the Emmys, with outlets differing mainly in which aspects of her Emmy recognition they emphasize and in providing details on the series’ upcoming premiere date.
