Don’t Miss: “The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses” — This lavish three-part follow-up to the awardwinni­ng 2012 production is based on Shakespear­e’s “Henry VI” (Parts 1 and 2) and “Richard III.” An allstar cast that includes Benedict Cumberbatc­h, Judi Dench and Hugh Bonneville helps bring to life the bloody conflict between the Lancasters and Yorks in the 1400s for the English throne. 9 p.m. Sunday, PBS. Other bets: Sunday: “The Walking Dead” goes on hiatus after tonight’s midseason finale and we’re actually thrilled. Who, after all, doesn’t need a break from the oppression and brutality that evil Negan has wrought? 9 p.m., AMC. Monday: And you thought “America’s Next Top Model” was dead. Nope. The modeling contest has been revived for another run with a new host — singer-actress Rita Ora. Time to start “smizing” again. 10 p.m., VH1. Tuesday: On “The Real O’Neals,” Eileen will stop at nothing to win the Christmas choir competitio­n, even if it means giving the coveted solo to the choir’s newest member, instead of her son, Kenny. Expect things to get ugly … and funny. 9:30 p.m., ABC.

Wednesday: “Star” is a new music-infused drama from “Empire” creator Lee Daniels that follows a threeheade­d girl group (Jude Demorest, Brittany O’Grady and Ryan Destiny) trying to make it big in Atlanta. The cast also includes Queen Latifah. 9 p.m., Fox. Thursday: Elvis Duran is our host for the “IHeartRadi­o Jingle Ball” from New York’s Madison Square Garden.
