Monday

OFFICE RACE (2023) 8 p.m. on Comedy Central. This original movie from Comedy Central stars Beck Bennett as Pat, a lazy office worker, and Joel McHale as Spencer, his annoying boss.

Tuesday

INSIDE THE NFL: 2023 SEASON PREVIEW 8 p.m. on The CW. The official N.F.L. season is starting on Sept. 7 (after three weeks of preseason games) with a game between the Detroit Lions and the Kansas City Chiefs. And as the season begins, so does this long-running companion show, now on the CW. Hosting this year is Ryan Clark, who’s joined by a panel of former players: Jay Cutler, Chad Johnson, Chris Long and Channing Crowder. The show also features previously unaired highlights and mic’d up commentary from N.F.L. players during games.

Wednesday

CRIME SCENE CONFIDENTIAL 9 p.m. on ID. Season 2 of the series returns for those fascinated by true crime: In the first episode, the crime scene investigation expert Alina Burroughs focuses on the 1988 murder of Margie Coffey, a young single mother in Ohio. A local police lieutenant was originally convicted in the case and served time in prison. But with advances in DNA and forensic technology, looking back at old cases can provide new information.

EVOLUTION EARTH 10 p.m. on PBS (check local listings). As our planet rapidly changes, animals have had to keep pace and adjust their behavior to survive the ever changing environment. This series, over five episodes, explores areas all over the world (urban, rural, remote), checking in with the animals to see what adjustments they have had to make.

Thursday

PROJECT RUNWAY 9 p.m. on Bravo. The 20th season of this long-running show, and an All-Star season at that, is coming to a close. After many challenges, including creating looks out of toys from F.A.O. Schwarz, designing uniforms for fan-favorite cast members from “Below Deck” and the first ever “free” episode, where contestants could design whatever they wanted, only one person can be crowned winner.

Friday

MINX 9 p.m. on Starz. Though this series was originally axed by HBO Max before being brought back to life by Starz, it will successfully complete its second season this week. Originally centered on the creation of the first erotic magazine for women in the 1970s, the show’s second installment digs deeper into the lives and experiences of its characters, including Tina (Idara Victor) and Richie (Oscar Montoya), who have gotten closer as Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond) and Doug (Jake Johnson) drift further apart.

Saturday

IMITATION OF LIFE (1934) 10 p.m. on TCM. This original film version of Fannie Hurst’s 1933 novel follows the widow Bea Pullman (Claudette Colbert) and her housekeeper, Delilah Johnson (Louise Beavers), who decide to start a business together in Atlantic City after Delilah shares her pancake recipe with Bea. The critic Andre Sennwald wrote in his November 1934 review for The New York Times, “On the whole the audience seemed to find it a gripping and powerful if slightly diffuse drama which discussed the mother love question, the race question, the business woman question, the mother and daughter question and the love renunciation question.”

Sunday

THE MASKED SINGER 8 p.m. on Fox. The goofy competition show, where celebrities don a full-body costume to sing and have judges guess who they are, is back for its 10th season. Nick Cannon is back to host, and the judges Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg and Robin Thicke are also returning. This special premiere will include performances from some of the show’s alumni as we gear up to guess who Donut, Anteater, Hawk, Hibiscus and S’More are.

THE WALKING DEAD: DARYL DIXON 9 p.m. on AMC. The last time we saw Daryl Dixon, he was riding away on his bike at the end of “The Walking Dead.” This series starts as he washes up in France and involves himself in an autocratic movement in Paris.

DREAMING WHILST BLACK 10 p.m. on Showtime. Originally a BBC and A24 production, this British comedy follows Kwabena (Adjani Salmon), who decides to leave his soul-crushing, dead-end office job to work toward his dream of being a filmmaker. Along the way he has to deal with the financial risk and must manage his love life, all while navigating the racism, microaggressions and elitism.
