TODAY’S HIGHLIGHTS
8 PM ( DSC) Naked and Afraid Five veterans of the series — Matt Wright, Jeff Zausch, Amber and Serena Shine and Alex Manard — try to survive on a remote strip of islands located on the edge of the Bermuda Triangle in the new two-hour “Naked and Afraid of Sharks 2.” Given that this is airing as part of Shark Week, viewers probably can anticipate that the waters surrounding these hardy souls are teeming with predators.
8 PM ( LIFE) MOVIE Psycho Sister-in-Law After their father dies, the half-sister of an expectant father and his wife move into the latter’s happy home and proceeds to sow chaos, all part of the interloper’s plan to score exclusive rights to the late patriarch’s significant estate, in this 2020 melodrama. Andrea Bowen, Lydia Hearst, Brando Eaton, Diora Baird and Ryan Carnes star. 9 PM ( BRV) The Real Housewives of Potomac Gizelle spends her birthday with Jamal and the girls, but the celebration is awkward because of underlying tensions in the new episode “Sip and See You Later.” Karen gives Wendy the cold shoulder, and the latter takes due notice of the slight. Candiace is baffled as to why Monique seems angry with her even after their recent reconciliation.
9 PM ( HBO) Lovecraft Country Adapted from a novel of the same title by Matt Ruff, this new 10-part limited series follows Atticus Black (Jonathan Majors) as he embarks on a risky odyssey across 1950s-era Jim Crow America to find his missing father, Montrose (Michael Kenneth Williams). In the series premiere, “Sundown,” Atticus recruits his uncle (Courtney B. Vance) and a childhood friend (Jurnee Smollett) to join him on a road trip to his Massachusetts hometown.
10 PM (TLC) Darcey & Stacey This new unscripted series revolves around fan-favorite identical twins Darcey and Stacey Silva from the “90 Day Fiancé” franchise. As the new series opens, Darcey is still hurting from yet another failed romance, this one with British ex-boyfriend Tom, while Stacey braces herself to take a major step in her own love life. She and Albanian fiancé Florian finally have been approved for a K-1 visa, but protective sister Darcey is wary of Florian’s true commitment.
