Brought to you by The TV Cave — where primetime meets playtime.

Let’s dig in — with just a hint of spoilers.

🌅 Early Birds Get the Chaos (Starting 3:00 AM ET)

📺 Apple TV+ | Acapulco Maximo is that guy trying to fix family drama over dinner (why do we always pick meals for this?). Meanwhile, Sara’s dreaming of college, and Julia and Nora are in full-on soap opera mode. Pack your telenovela vibes — you’ll need ‘em.

🦋 Prime Video | Butterfly (ALL SIX Episodes Drop!)🚨 New Series Alert! Daniel Dae Kim is running for his life from a psychotic young assassin with a villain era aesthetic. Think Killing Eve meets Jason Bourne but with hotter lighting and more trauma.

🔥 Prime Video | Countdown The Volchek drama might be wrapped, but don’t get cozy. Agent Ryan just tripped into another national security mess. Because of course he did.

🐶 Netflix | Fixed (Movie Premiere) An animated dog voiced by Adam Devine goes on one last bro-adventure before he’s… snipped. Yes, this is a thing. And yes, it's as gloriously absurd as it sounds.

🇬🇧 Netflix | Love Is Blind: UK (First Four Episodes) Season 2 is here! British singles are once again trying to fall in love without seeing each other, because apparently vibes > eye contact. Expect accents, awkward pauses, and at least one emotional breakdown per episode.

🍻 Apple TV+ | Platonic Will’s about to spiral and Sylvia’s playing therapist — again. Bonus: college buddy Beck Bennett pops in for bachelor party shenanigans. It’s giving messy.

🌭 Prime Video | Sausage Party: Foodtopia (Season 2 Premiere) Frank, Barry, and Sammy hit New Foodland, where food and humans allegedly live in harmony. Spoiler: they don’t. If crude humor and animated chaos are your jam, dig in.

🎤 Netflix | Songs From the Hole (Documentary Premiere) Rapper JJ’88 wrote songs from solitary confinement after being sentenced at 15. It’s powerful, raw, and surprisingly hopeful. Mood shift incoming.

🌊 Prime Video | The Summer I Turned PrettyConrad is spiraling (again) over Belly and Jeremiah’s wedding plans. Ah, young love — messy, painful, and low-key addictive to watch.

🎉 9:00 AM ET – For the Daytime Bingers

🤣 Comedy Central | South Park Marathon Celebrate South Park Day by revisiting the wildest, weirdest, and most iconic episodes — all leading up to the OG pilot at 10 PM. Nostalgia and bad behavior await.

🌇 8:00 PM ET – Primetime Pops Off

🏡 HGTV | Celebrity IOU (Season 10 Finale) Tyra Banks trades catwalks for tool belts as she renovates her childhood bestie’s home. Smizing in a hard hat? We’re here for it.

💥 MTV | The Challenge One player's game is crumbling, and their partner? A competitive tornado. New twists drop and alliances shake — expect yelling. Lots of yelling.

⚖️ The CW | Family Law Harry defends his old boss while the son’s going full Succession-mode to snatch power. It’s drama in suits — with family baggage.

🔥 Fox | MasterChef Backyard BBQ, garden glow-up, and six duos on the verge of heatstroke. The only thing rarer than the steaks? Gordon’s patience.

💰 ABC | Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Comedy chaos incoming: Workaholics duo Adam Devine & Anders Holm tag in, followed by Helen Hunt and Dan Bucatinsky doing Hacks-lite banter. High stakes and high jokes.

🍷 9:00 PM ET – The After-Dinner Sizzle

👨‍🍳 Fox | Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Service Gordon plays spy (again) — this time battling rats and toxic kitchen culture in Philly. Nothing says “family legacy” like vermin patrol.

☀️ FXX | It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Penultimate Episode) Frank’s on The Golden Bachelor and the Gang is rehearsing a fake family dinner to charm America. This is the most "Sunny" sentence ever written.

🧠 ABC | Match Game An all-star panel fills in blanks and probably causes a few. Special shoutout to Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Beanie Feldstein for the comedy gold.

🔥 Bravo | The Real Housewives of Miami Spain trip + Julia drama + Stephanie vs. Alexia showdown = Bravo math at its finest. Screams in sangria.

💅 BET | Sistas Sabrina confronts betrayal, Andi digs deep, Karen spirals, and the rest face some unexpected turns. Soap-level stakes with a modern twist.

🌙 10:30 PM ET – Late Night Shenanigans

🏺 Comedy Central | Digman! Rip’s looking for love on an archaeologist dating show (???), then goes couch-hunting for Freud’s psychoanalytic furniture. It’s giving weird. We love weird.

🛋️ TL;DR — What Not to Miss Today:

• For the LOLs: South Park Marathon, Platonic, Digman!

• Reality Gold: The Challenge, RHOM, Celebrity IOU
