Wolf

🌆 Primetime Picks (8:00 PM ET)

Coast 2 Coast

Harlan Coben’s Final Twist

Will Trent

🔥 Things Get Messy (9:00 PM ET)

Doc

High Potential

Pole to Pole With Will Smith

📌 TV Cave Tip

If you’re choosing just one thing tonight, the Salt Lake City reunion is pure must-see chaos—but pair it with Will Trent or Harlan Coben’s Final Twist for a perfectly balanced night of drama.
