Euphoria
Monday, 9pm, Sky Atlantic
A lot has happened in the four years since Sam Levinson’s audacious high-school drama finished its second series – namely, its lead actors Zendaya, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney have become Hollywood’s hottest stars. They’re all back for this third and final outing, which picks up the story five years after high school, with the characters in their early 20s. Previews are very much under lock and key, but what we do know is that Cassie and Nate are married (with Maddie helping Cassie create adult content), Jules is in art school and is a “sugar baby”, and Rue is caught up in some very bad-looking business in Mexico. Love him or loathe him, Levinson always takes fans on a wild ride – so buckle up! Hollie Richardson
Miriam Margolyes Made Me Me
9pm, BBC Two
Simon Draper – a “jobbing TV director who got slated” – filmed Miriam Margolyes as she started a podcast where she talks to friends. However, as the actor was distracted by world tours and health issues, the recordings turned into something more intimate and meditative: “I don’t want to be just a foul-mouthed farty old lady – because I’m more than that.” But don’t worry, there are still plenty of laugh-out-loud Margolyes antics.

Great Japanese Railway Journeys
6.30pm, BBC Two
A new purple-trousered travelogue from TV’s Tourist Tory. Michael Portillo is in Japan for brisk journeys on bullet trains and the odd stop-off in between. The first line (“Japan is a country of enigmatic contrasts”) would make AI wince but things improve as Portillo chomps on some fried octopus balls and explores manga. Phil Harrison
Missed Call
9pm, Channel 5
In this new whodunnit, Joanna Scanlan plays Sarah, an anxious mum whose teenage daughter goes off on a French exchange. But the pre-credit sequence suggests things don’t go très bien. A cast of shady supporting characters, including Rupert Graves as Scanlan’s partner and her aloof exchange family, give us suspects galore. Priya Elan
Charmain and the Prophet
10pm, BBC Two
The opening slice of this disturbing three-part true story takes in class, race and Scotland’s relationship with religion. Charmain Speirs, a vulnerable single mum, meets a charismatic evangelical preacher on a Christian dating site but things soon turn sour. As Charmain’s mum Lydia says, it was “just lies after lies after lies”. PE
DTF St Louis
10.15pm, Sky Atlantic
Finale time for the raunchy murder mystery featuring David Harbour, Linda Cardellini and Jason Bateman in a deadly love triangle. Testament to the show’s sense of comic mischief is that one of the big unanswered questions is how a curving penis condition got Harbour’s sadsack Floyd into American Sign Language. Graeme Virtue
