James “The Highroller” Holzhauer returns as the Chaser for an episode called “There Is a Time and a Place for a Hawaiian Shirt,” in which he tries to beat three contestants in a race against the clock. In the finale that immediately follows, “This Is My Chair of Disappointment,” Ken “The Professor” Jennings takes center stage as the last Chaser of the season.
9PM (ID) The Murder Tapes This true-crime docuseries, which follows a real-life murder investigation as it is being conducted in real time, returns for Season 5 with a premiere called “Blunt Force Trauma.” The case involves a woman of faith, Susan Hernandez, who is the last person police would expect to find murdered in her own basement.

8PM ^ Nature Between May and July of each year, billions of sardines gather along the east coast of South Africa to create a shoal stretching several miles long in one of nature’s greatest spectacles. As the largest biomass migration on the planet, this run — which researchers estimate rivals Africa’s fabled wildebeest migration — sees the tiny fish fighting to escape the mouths of multiple hungry predators that depend on this event for food. Special underwater cameras capture this event in “The Ocean’s Greatest Feast.”
9 PM ^ NOVA A fascinating new episode called “Great Mammoth Mystery” chronicles how amateur paleontologists and fossil collectors Neville and Sally Hollingworth were pursuing their hobby to stave off pandemic lockdown boredom when they discovered a site in southwest England that preserved traces of extinct beasts that populated Britain more than 200,000 years ago. David Attenborough is the host.
