“Top Gear” (7 p.m., 1:30 a.m., BBCA): The returning Chris Harris gets two new co-hosts in U.K. cricket star Freddie Flintoff and stand-up comic Paddy McGuinness as this venerable series cranks the ignition on its 27th season. Their first episode together starts with the guys going out and buying budget-friendly replicas of the first cars they owned. To drive-test their purchases, they head to the searing heat of Ethiopia, widely regarded as the birthplace of humankind. Later, back at the track, Chris puts the Ferrari 488 Pista and McLaren 600LT through their paces.

“Celebrity Family Feud” (7 p.m., ABC): After the families of actress and TV producer Maria Menounos and Jeannie Mai (“Holey Moley”) square off in round one, sports legends face off in a second round to win money for the charities of their choice. NFLPA Legends playing for Team Gleason Foundation are Aeneas Williams, Brian Urlacher, Tim Brown, Dermontti Dawson and Jackie Slater.

“Instinct” (8 p.m., CBS): For different reasons, Lizzie and Dylan (Bojana Novakovic, Alan Cumming) have a very difficult time keeping their emotions in check while investigat­ing the disappeara­nce of a 9-year-old boy who went missing just as a judge was about to announce a decision in a bitter custody battle in the new episode “Finders Keepers.” While he tries to help Lizzie confront some old childhood demons, Dylan gets good news in his adoption quest with Andy (Daniel Ings).

“Evil Lives Here” (8 p.m., 11 p.m., ID): This gripping true-crime series, which recounts incidents in which real people shared their lives with a loved one who turned out to be a murderer, returns for Season 6 with a premiere called “I Tried to Prevent This.” The story chronicles how Kathy Swanson lived with the terrible fear that her son, Michael, eventually would seriously harm someone. For 17 years, she tries to convince people that there is something “different” about Michael.

“Sweetbitte­r” (8 p.m., 9:50 p.m., 11:42 p.m., Starz): The characters who make up the staff of the chic Manhattan eatery 22W reveal more of their innermost secrets as this restaurant drama returns for Season 2. Small-town girl Tess (Ella Purnell) has gained knowledge and experience over the past months, giving her newfound confidence, but that’s not necessaril­y good news for her colleagues. They include her fellow server and mentor Simone (Caitlin FitzGerald).

“Cannibal Sharks” (9 p.m., 11 p.m., NGEO): Sharks seem to be an endless fascinatio­n for humans, especially when the latter can watch and study them from the safety of their TV sets, but this new one-hour special investigat­es cannibalis­m as a bizarre behavior among certain species of these complicate­d creatures. Among the featured incidents, sand tiger pups (baby sharks) attack and eat one another while still in the womb, and the two-foot-long cookiecutt­er shark fearlessly rips chunks out of Great White Sharks 10 times their size.

“Moon Landing: The Lost Tapes” (9:03 p.m., 10:05 p.m., 1:06 a.m., 2:06 a.m., History): Newly uncovered film footage, rare photograph­s and previously untelevise­d audio interviews are featured in this new one-hour documentar­y that helps mark the 50th anniversar­y of NASA’s unforgetta­ble achievemen­t and mankind’s “greatest leap” up to that point in history. The film also sheds light on the doubts and fears the courageous Apollo 11 astronauts felt on the brink of making history.
