WEDNESDAY’S BEST PICKS
8 PM & 2020 Billboard Music
Awards Kelly Clarkson returns for the third time to host this popular annual awards show, in which the nominations and winners are based on “key fan interactions with music,” such as album and digital song sales, streaming, radio airplay and even engagement on social media. Additional details for this year’s event, which originally was scheduled for last April in Las Vegas before the pandemic scotched those plans, are still in progress.
8 PM G Devils Feeling betrayed by Dominic (Patrick Dempsey), Massimo (Alessandro Borghi) hatches a scheme to create a devastating scandal against NYL, then leave it after he cashes in, in the new “Episode 2.” Just as he is about to publish his exposé, however, he discovers Dominic is concealing something. With that in mind, Massimo decides to stay, but consequently must deal with a painful development. Laia Costa, Kasia Smutniak, Lars Mikkelsen and Malachi Kirby also star. 9 PM ^ NOVA Actor Michael C. Hall narrates the new special “Nature’s Fear Factor,” which examines how an audacious wildlife recovery effort in Africa is using fear of predators to re-balance the ecosystem in Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park. A violent period of civil war wiped out more than 90 percent of the large mammals in this region, and subsequent species recovery has been erratic and uneven. Predator experts are re-introducing fierce African wild dogs into the park to scare smaller plant-eating prey back into their natural balance.
9 PM $ The Amazing Race This Emmywinning reality competition series crosses a milestone — one million miles traveled around the world — as 11 new teams embark on their journey of a lifetime in Season 32, which was completed before the global outbreak of the coronavirus.

9 PM ( BET) Tyler Perry’s Sistas Tyler Perry’s dramedy about a diverse group of four single Black women who bond over their romantic frustrations returns for a second season.
