What’s on TV This Week: The Olympics and ‘Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets’

For those who still enjoy a cable subscription, here is a selection of cable and network TV shows, movies and specials that broadcast this week, July 22-28. Details and times are subject to change.

Monday

61ST STREET 9 p.m. on the CW. The second season of this series follows a high school athlete, Moses Johnson (Tosin Cole), who is Black, as he navigates the corrupt Chicago criminal justice system when he is arrested as a supposed gang member. The show originally aired on AMC in 2022 but was canceled. The first two seasons were shot back to back, though, and the CW bought the show and is debuting Season 2.

GYPSY ROSE: LIFE AFTER LOCK UP 9 p.m. on Lifetime. Since Gypsy Rose Blanchard was released from prison late last December, she has rarely been out of the headlines. This reality show has followed her as she manages parole, reconnects with her family and navigates her marriage with Ryan Anderson. Since the show has begun airing, she has filed for divorce from Anderson and is expecting a baby with her ex-fiancé, Ken Urker. On an episode of “The Kardashians” that aired last week, Blanchard met with Kim Kardashian to discuss potential prison reform efforts, so who knows what Blanchard will be up to after this show wraps.

Tuesday

SURREAL LIFE: VILLA OF SECRETS 9 p.m. on MTV. One thing that MTV loves to do is reboot a show. “The Surreal Life” originally aired on VH1 from 2003 to 2006. (It came back in 2022). It follows celebrities as they share a house together for two weeks. This reboot has a similar premise but with higher stakes: The celebrities — including Tyler Posey, Macy Gray and Johnny Weir — will participate in challenges that lead them to be vulnerable and divulge secrets.

Wednesday

CHARLIE HUSTLE & THE MATTER OF PETE ROSE 9 p.m. on HBO. Pete Rose played in the M.L.B. starting in 1963 and was most prominent when he played for the Cincinnati Reds. Throughout his career, he became a record-holder for career total of 4,256 hits, most games played (3,562) and most times at bat (14,053). In 1989, Rose had retired from playing and was the manager for the Reds when the commissioner, A. Bartlett Giamatti, banned him from the League over reports that he had engaged in sports betting — even for games involving his own team. This documentary features Rose himself as he reflects on his career.
