The Television Academy and NBC announce the first group of presenters for the 78th Emmy Awards, airing Monday, September 14, on NBC and Peacock. The lineup includes stars connected to reunion-style moments, such as Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd from the classic 1976 series “Charlie’s Angels.” The outlet reports they are included as the show marks its 50th anniversary this year.
Other announced presenters include “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” alumni. Variety and Deadline both mention Sarah Michelle Gellar among those appearing, along with David Boreanaz, reflecting broader attention on acclaimed television franchises ahead of the ceremony. Deadline also adds that Zendaya is part of the first batch of presenters, and includes Sally Field in the same group.
While the two sources focus on the “Angels” reunion angle, both confirm these are early announcements for presenters joining host Mariska Hargitay on stage. The accounts differ slightly in which additional names are emphasized in their respective write-ups, but they align on the core set of series and key attendees.
