WHAT TO WATCH

🏡 11:00 AM ET – Coastal Vibes & Emotional Real Estate

A&E – Oceanfront Property Hunt (Season 1B Premiere – Two Episodes) Forget Zillow scrolling—you've got beachfront drama IRL. A cancer survivor searches for serenity by the sea, while a city couple trades traffic for tides.

A&E – Betting on Beloit (Series Premiere – Two Episodes) Meet Konya Hendricks Schuh, your new favorite home renovation queen. She’s turning run-down relics in Wisconsin into Insta-worthy homes with killer curb appeal.

💪 3:00 PM ET – Wrestling with Glory (and Chairs)

Peacock – WWE: The Great American Bash Oba Femi puts his NXT title on the line against the fearsome Yoshiki Inamura, while Sol Ruca takes on Izzi Dame in a match that might break the internet (or just a few tables).

TL;DR: Chaos, drama, and spandex.

🍝 8:00 PM ET – Supper, Suspense & Surprisingly Sexy Heists

TBS – Dinner and a Movie Tonight’s cinematic entrée: Ocean’s Eleven (2001). Grab your pasta and watch George Clooney and Brad Pitt out-charm and out-heist Vegas. Still stylish. Still absurdly attractive. Still the blueprint.

🏕️ 8:00 PM ET – Lifetime's Latest Cabin Nightmare

Lifetime – Little Girl in the Woods (TV-Movie Premiere) A support group for grieving women stumbles upon a teen locked in a forest cabin. Sounds cozy, right? WRONG. Expect tears, trauma, and plot twists you’ll see coming—but love anyway. Stars: Alana Hawley Purvis and Camille Atebe.

🎶 8:00 PM ET – Pop Icons and Psychological Horror? We’re In.

HBO – Opus (Premium Cable Premiere) When a journalist (Ayo Edebiri) visits a reclusive music legend (John Malkovich, obviously), things get… culty. Throw in Juliette Lewis and Tony Hale, and you’ve got a genre-bending fever dream we’re absolutely here for.

Think: A24’s answer to Taylor Swift meets The Shining.

💪 8:00 PM ET – Wrestling, But Make It Nostalgic

NBC – Saturday Night’s Main Event (Two Hours) Goldberg is back, baby—and he's challenging Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship.
