Tonight is the series premiere of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days on TLC at 9/8c. This new prequel series will chronicle the time before the K-1 Visa process begins, from meeting in person for the first time to traveling to a foreign country they barely know or understand. The series follows the stories of Americans who believe they’ve met the love of their lives, a future husband or wife, through various methods including international dating websites and apps. Can online romance lead to true love? Despite challenges including 20-year age gaps, language barriers and daunting three-day boat rides down the Amazon river, these American singles travel vast distances to meet the person they believe is their soulmate. The show will follow would-be couples as they uncover hidden truths, navigate cultural differences and decide if their love is meant to be.
 
Tonight is also the series premiere of Life of Kylie on E! at 9/8c, followed by a 2nd new episode at 9:30/8:30c. As the successful CEO/Founder of Kylie Cosmetics, style icon, fashion designer, social media magnate, author and philanthropist, Kylie Jenner is a global force to be reckoned with. Despite growing up on E!’s hit series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, being recently named one of the most influential teens by TIME Magazine, and being loved and admired by fans all over the world, Kylie rarely reveals what happens in her day-to-day world. With a social media following of 175 million across Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, it seems as though Kylie’s every move has been documented. However, fans will see a different side of Kylie only her closest confidantes see in the eight episode, half-hour series. Kylie’s role as the head of her eponymous cosmetics line will be highlighted and viewers will get an insider’s look at how she runs her beauty brand. From concepting, formulating and testing the products, to engaging with her fans to announce new launches.

Tonight is the series premiere of Mr. Mercedes on AT&T’s Audience Network at 8/7c. Based on the best-selling novel by Stephen King, the show stars Brendan Gleeson (Harry Potter) as Detective Bill Hodges, Harry Treadaway (Penny Dreadful) as Brady Hartsfield, Kelly Lynch (Magic City) as Deborah Hartsfield, Jharrel Jerome (Moonlight) as Jerome Robinson, Scott Lawrence (Avatar) as Detective Peter Dixon, Robert Stanton (Mercury Rising) as Anthony “Robi” Frobisher, Breeda Wool (Unreal) as Lou Linklatter, Justine Lupe (Francis Ha) as Holly Gibney, and Ann Cusack (Nightcrawler) as Olivia Trelawney, with Mary Louise-Parker (Weeds) as Janey Patterson, and Holland Taylor (The Truman Show) as Ida Silver. The show follows a demented killer Brady Hartsfield (Treadaway) who taunts a retired police detective Bill Hodges (Gleeson) with a series of lurid letters and emails, forcing the ex-cop to undertake a private, and potentially felonious, crusade to bring the killer to justice before he is able to strike again.
 
Tonight is also the series premiere of Swedish Dicks on Pop TV at 8/7c, followed by a 2nd new episode at 8:30/7:30c. This new scripted procedural comedy is about a mismatched pair of L.A.-based detectives and stars Peter Stormare (John Wick: Chapter 2, Fargo, American Gods) and actor/comedian Johan Glans with special recurring guest star Keanu Reeves (John Wick, The Matrix). Stormare plays an aging ex-stuntman stuck in the past, while Glans is an overly optimistic Swedish DJ stuck in the digital world. Together they get unstuck by forming the private detective firm Swedish Dicks, solving some of the strangest and wildest cases L.A. has ever seen. The 10-episode first season features an array of guest stars, including Traci Lords (Cry-Baby, Melrose Place), Margaret Cho (Drop Dead Diva), Anthony LaPaglia (Without a Trace), and Eric Roberts (Suits).

Tonight is the series premiere of First In Human on Discovery Channel at 9/8c. Just miles from the nation’s capital, on the campus of the revered National Institutes of Health, sits the Clinical Center, or Building 10: the largest hospital in the world devoted solely to medical research. The building houses the brilliant minds and courageous patients that enroll in “First in Human” clinical trials. Wading into uncharted medical territory in the hopes of discovering scientific breakthroughs, these early, highly experimental — and at times risky — tests are all in an effort to develop new, breakthrough treatments for patients suffering from currently untreatable diseases and conditions. Narrated and executive produced by Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), this three-part, six-hour medical documentary series takes viewers inside the crucial beginning phase of scientific research. The powerful series follows four diverse patients as they participate in a “First in Human” trial — the initial time when a new therapy is tested in humans, revealing the quiet heroism of both doctors and patients. If successful, the next chapter of medicine is written.
 
Tonight is also the complete first season premiere of Atypical on Netflix at 3:01AM/2:01AMc. Jennifer Jason Leigh and Keir Gilchrist are mother and son in this coming-of-age story from the point-of-view of Sam (played by Gilchrist), an 18-year-old on the autism spectrum. Sam decides it is time to go on a date, find a girlfriend and hopefully love, a journey that sets Sam’s mother, Elsa (played by Jason Leigh), on her own life-changing path as her son seeks more independence. Sam’s entire family must adjust to change, all while exploring the question: what does it really mean to be “normal”? Michael Rapaport plays Sam’s father, Doug, who wants to better connect with and understand his son. Brigette Lundy-Paine plays Sam’s scrappy sister, Casey, and Amy Okuda plays his therapist, Julia.
