special episode
Standalone bonus broadcast
A special episode is a television installment that departs from the regular format or schedule, often marking holidays, milestones, or significant events: The show's Christmas special airs tonight.
Specials may feature unusual length, guest stars, or standalone plots.
They're typically promoted more heavily than regular episodes and sometimes serve as series finales or reunion events.
