Mariska Hargitay is headed to the Great White Way.
The Law & Order: SVU star is set to make her Broadway debut in May. She’ll be taking over for Daniel Radcliffe in the one-person playEvery Brilliant Thing beginning May 26.
“I read Every Brilliant Thing and cried, rejoiced, laughed, cried some more, and loved it so much,” Hargitay says in a statement. “I’m always drawn to themes of healing and renewal, especially when the journey is rendered in all its complexity.”
She says making her Broadway debut with such a life-affirming play is an “extraordinary gift” and “the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.”
“For me, the triumph of this beautiful piece of work—this luminously brilliant thing—is that through a deeply personal story, we experience the universal endeavor of keeping ourselves pointed towards light, compassion and hope,” Hargitay says.
Every Brilliant Thing, which relies heavily on audience participation, follows the central character as they look back on their life through a list of all the little things that make life worth living.
Radcliffe will complete his run on May 24. The show has extended its run through June 28.

The trailer for the documentary thriller film #SKYKING has arrived.
This new documentary from ABC News Studios tells the story of Richard “Beebo” Russell, a 28-year-old Horizon Air ground service agent who stole a $33 million plane and embarked on a 70-minute long flight.
Emmy winner Patricia E. Gillespie directed the film, which, along with telling the story of Russell, also offers a look into the U.S. mental health crisis.
This documentary also marks the first time many members of Russell’s family have spoken publicly about his story. It includes never-before-heard air traffic control audio, as well as an interview with the now-retired ATC supervisor who managed the situation on the 2018 day that the incident occurred.
The trailer finds interviewees wondering how Russell was able to get the vehicle into the air all by himself despite never having flown an airplane before.
“I play video games, so, you know, I know what I’m doing a little bit,” Russell said in air-traffic control audio used in the trailer.
#SKYKING premieres on Hulu April 14.

Kim Novak is speaking out about the upcoming drama Scandalous, saying she would have “never approved” the film about her relationship with Sammy Davis Jr., which is set to star Sydney Sweeney as Novak.
Novak told The Times of London in an interview that was published on Friday that Sweeney “sticks out so much above the waist.”
She also expressed concern that the film would focus too heavily on the sexual side of her relationship with Davis Jr. rather than their personal connection.
“There’s no way it wouldn’t be a sexual relationship because Sydney Sweeney looks sexy all the time,” Novak said. “She was totally wrong to play me.”
ABC News has reached out to Sweeney’s representative, but did not hear back immediately.
The project was first reported by Deadline in October 2024, with Colman Domingo attached to direct and Miramax developing the film. In addition to Sweeney, David Jonsson is set to star as Davis Jr.
In contrast to Novak’s comments, Sweeney told People in October 2025 that she is “incredibly honored” to take on the role.
“I think her story is still very relevant today in that she dealt with Hollywood and scrutiny with her relationships and her own private life and the control of her image,” she said at the time. “And I think that for me, I relate to it in a lot of different ways.”
Novak and Davis Jr. first met in 1956 when they both appeared as guests on The Steve Allen Show.
Their relationship became public in 1958 after a Chicago newspaper columnist reported on their romance and suggested they might marry, according to Hitchcock’s Blondes: The Unforgettable Women Behind the Legendary Director’s Dark Obsession by Laurence Leamer.
Novak denied the report, and days later, Davis Jr. married singer Loray White; their marriage lasted about a year.
Novak later married actor Richard Johnson in 1965, and after their divorce, she went on to marry veterinarian Robert Malloy in 1976. The couple remained together until he died in 2021.

Poster for ‘Breaking Glass: The Pat Summitt Story’ (ABC News Studios)
The story of Pat Summitt, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer best known for coaching women’s basketball at the University of Tennessee, has been told in many ways. This time, it’s being brought to life through a documentary directed by Dawn Porter and produced by Robin Roberts’ production company, Rock’n Robin Productions. With an impact that has been felt for decades, Roberts explains why now is the right time to share Summitt’s story in this way.
“People need to know,” she tells ABC Audio. “People are excited about the WNBA, March Madness, Unrivaled, they need to know that it might not have happened [were] it not for someone like Pat Summitt. So just to give a history lesson to folks, I think that is the right time to do it.”
“It is March Madness, it is Women’s History Month. It’ll be 10 years in June that she passed away from Alzheimer’s,” she continues. “So I think it was the perfect storm in giving her her flowers.”
Breaking Glass, The Pat Summitt Story, streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+,chronicles Pat’s journey from her humble upbringing on a Tennessee dairy farm to her record-setting career at the University of Tennessee, where she won 1,098 games and eight national championships. The film offers an in-depth look at both the challenges she faced, and the lasting impact she made on and off the court.
With so much ground to cover, Dawn says the responsibility she felt in telling Pat’s story grew as she learned more about her, but she was fortunately met with support from her family, ESPN, the University of Tennessee and more.
Her goal was to understand why Pat was so deeply loved. What she learned: “Pat saw everybody as people and I think she was really, really instrumental in making that a unified experience where everybody was welcome.”
The film will premiere Sunday on ESPN2 and April 5 on ESPN.
