“The Wall” (6 p.m., NBC): Host Chris Hardwick returns for Season 3 of this feel-good game show, this time with a new twist that makes it possible for players to win even more money. It’s called the Superdrop, with all seven balls raining down in a waterfall drop that takes the total potential prize each night to $13 million. Sound too good to be true? Well, yeah, because with this possibilit­y of greater reward comes increased risk — including the possibilit­y that a player could lose everything.

“Batwoman” (7 p.m., CW): While Jacob (Dougray Scott) goes searching for his wayward daughter, Cartwright (guest star John Emmet Tracy) shares a deeply twisted story with Kate (Ruby Rose) that reveals more about Alice’s (Rachel Skarsten) dark past in the new episode “Off With Her Head.” Elsewhere, Mary and Luke (Nicole Kang, Camrus Johnson) follow a lead on the killer of Beth Kane.

“Into the Arms of Danger” (7 p.m., 11:01 p.m., Lifetime): Upset by a confrontat­ional phone conversati­on with her mother, 17-year-old Jenny is in a distracted frame of mind when she gets behind the wheel of her car, leading to an accident on a remote and desolate stretch of road. She’s relieved when a pair of EMTs promptly respond to her distress call, but once they put her in their ambulance and lock the vehicle’s door, she soon realizes they are not who they pretend to be. Cathy Moriarty, AlexAnn Hopkins and Laurie Fortier star in this 2020 thriller.

“NCIS: New Orleans” (8 p.m., CBS): Tammy (Vanessa Ferlito) is assigned to protect Rachel (guest star Lillian Carrier), a teenager obsessed with research, after her father is shot in the home they share in the new episode “Relentless.” Meanwhile, Pride (Scott Bakula) and the rest of the NCIS team search for a motive behind that attack. Chelsea Field, David Selby, Jason Alan Carvell and Joanna Cassidy also guest star. Another new episode immediatel­y follows.

“Buddy vs. Duff” (8 p.m., 11 p.m., Food): Friendly rivals Buddy Valastro and Duff Goldman return for Season 2 of their competitio­n series, which opens with “Cake Boss” Valastro challengin­g “Ace of Cakes” Goldman to another round, hoping to reclaim bragging rights. In “Big Apple Cake,” New York City is the inspiratio­n for cakes that will be unveiled at a Big Apple event hosted by Debi Mazar and Rosanna Scotto. Kimberly Bailey, Florian Bellanger and Waylynn Lucas are the judges.

“Westworld” (8 p.m., 10:50 p.m., 2:20 a.m., HBO): After a somewhat polarizing Season 2, this Emmy-winning dystopian fantasy returns for a third installmen­t, with “Breaking Bad” Emmy winner Aaron Paul joining the cast for these new episodes built around the theme “New World” and drawing on the classic sci-fi movie “Blade Runner” for inspiratio­n. Returning to their familiar roles are Evan Rachel Wood, Thandie Newton, Ed Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Tessa Thompson and Luke Hemsworth.

“Family Guy” (8:30 p.m., FOX): For personal reasons, Stewie (voice of Seth MacFarlane) decides he wants to remain little forever, so he builds a DNA-altering machine that will allow just that ... but the device produces an unexpected outcome by transformi­ng Stewie into what he always was supposed to be: an actual human baby. Guest stars Jennifer Tilly and Brett Gelman also are heard, as is Dee Bradley Baker as a character named Gremlin Stewie — so yeah, there’s that, too.
