Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Monday, June 1. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
RuPaul’s Drag Race (Logo, 9 p.m.): Season seven of Drag Race concludes with a “rupersized” finale, in which contestants will talk about all the season’s drama. Then, both the next “America’s Next Drag Superstar” and “Miss Congeniality” will be crowned. Will it be fan favorite Pearl Liaison? Bold redhead Ginger Minj? Or the sleek and stylish Violet Chachki? Tune in to find out and then check back here at TV Club for Oliver Sava’s last review of the season.
Also noted
So You Think You Can Dance (Fox, 8 p.m.): SYTYCD is back for a 12th season, and things are kicking off with an interview with First Lady Michelle Obama, which can only mean one thing: a Let’s Move promotion! And, hopefully, some mom dancing. The first round of auditions go down in Memphis and Dallas. The judging panel this season consists of Paula Abdul, Nigel Lythgoe, and *Jason Derulo voice* Jason Derulo.
The Lion’s Mouth Opens (HBO, 9 p.m.): Another Monday night, another HBO documentary. The Lion’s Mouth Opens tells the intimate story of filmmaker Marianna Palka on the eve of her doctor’s appointment that will reveal whether she inherited Huntington’s disease from her father.
The Whispers (ABC, 10 p.m.): Based on a Ray Bradbury story of the same name, The Whispers looks at a case involving an alien force that invades Earth and uses children to achieve world domination. An army of children sounds terrifying and also familiar. Zack Handlen reviews the first three episodes.
