🛋️ What to Watch Tonight: Unicorn Collisions, Shark Bites & Holiday Chaos | July 26 TV Guide

Hello, cavers! It's Saturday night, which means your only real plans involve your remote, some snacks, and a little channel-hopping chaos. Whether you’re into murderous mermaids, nostalgic rom-coms, or watching rich people try to monetize magical roadkill (yep, that’s a thing), we’ve got your daily TV rundown hotter than a Shark Week feeding frenzy.

Here’s your spoiler-free TV Guide for July 26 — handpicked by The TV Cave, where TV is serious business (and also our favorite excuse to not leave the house).

What to Watch

🦄 8PM | HBO | Death of a Unicorn (Premium Cable Premiere)

Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega accidentally commit the most mythical hit-and-run in cinematic history — they mow down a UNICORN on the way to a weekend retreat. But plot twist: the unicorn’s sparkly corpse is suddenly the hottest new wellness trend among billionaires (hi, Richard E. Grant!). It's weird. It’s hilarious. It’s deeply A24. And it’s absolutely what your Saturday night needs.

“Death of a Unicorn” is the kind of TV event that makes you grateful for premium cable and slightly afraid of billionaires.

🙏 8PM | Lifetime | Before Your Father Finds Us (TV Movie Premiere)

Alexa PenaVega is on the run (again) in a drama-packed rollercoaster that involves her and her teen daughter hiding from her abusive ex. There’s faith, suspense, and probably at least one overly dramatic phone call from inside a closet.

Cue the Lifetime Drinking Game: one shot for every whispered “We have to leave NOW.”

🦈 8PM | Discovery Channel | Shark Week: Attack of the Devil Shark

It's the final weekend of Shark Week and the predators are circling. Tonight kicks off with Attack of the Devil Shark and dives straight into Battle for Shark Mountain at 9PM. There’s blood. There’s teeth. There’s slow-mo water thrashing. Everything Discovery does best.

🍿 8PM | TBS | Dinner and a Movie: Just Go With It

TBS brings back their old-school Dinner and a Movie setup. While you eat, watch Sandler and Aniston fake a relationship and maybe catch feelings (as one does). It’s light, predictable, and goes down smoother than boxed mac & cheese.

🎭 8PM | The CW | The Jussie Smollett Scandal (2-Hour Special)

This two-hour special doesn’t shy away from the headlines. Dive into the controversy that ignited Hollywood, politics, and Twitter. Expect big questions, bigger drama, and more awkward footage than a Real Housewives reunion.

📽️ 8PM | TCM | Two for One Season 2 Finale

Robert Townsend hosts a cinematic throwback night with Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941) followed by the brilliantly chaotic Network (1976). Oldies but goodies — and let’s be real, Network is still terrifyingly relevant.

🎄 8PM | Hallmark Channel | Unwrapping Christmas: Olivia’s Reunion

In the most Hallmark move ever, it’s Christmas in July! Cindy Busby gets snowed-in with her ex while delivering holiday gifts, and we’ll give you ONE GUESS how that turns out. (Hint: There’s hot cocoa and rekindled love.)

🦈 10PM | Investigation Discovery | The Jaws of Death (One-Hour Special)

This hour-long special explores real shark attacks, terrifying close calls, and the psychological scars left behind. Basically, if Jaws ruined swimming for you, maybe sit this one out. Or watch it with the lights off for full terror immersion.

💤 That’s a Wrap!

From mythical beasts to real-life scandals and sharks on a vengeance tour, your July 26 lineup is stacked with drama, thrills, and LOLs. So fluff those couch pillows, grab that remote, and remember: you don’t need weekend plans when the TV’s this good.
