Barry
10.40pm, Sky Atlantic
The return of HBO’s Emmy-garlanded comedy-drama, starring Bill Hader as an assassin who realises his true calling is actually acting – a premise that doubles as a critique of Hollywood’s love of the brooding, violent antihero. Now apparently retired from the hitman game, Barry appoints himself as director of his theatre group after his teacher Gene (the terrific Henry Winkler) suffers a breakdown. Meanwhile, Barry’s old boss finds that replacing his old charge is more difficult – and bloody – than he assumed. Gwilym Mumford
MotherFatherSon
9pm, BBC Two
Max, Kathryn and Caden meet at a remote rural house near the latter’s rehab facility, but this is more than just an uncomfortable family gathering; it is a battle of feminine v masculine and emotion v reason. And, whoever prevails, this family’s heavily soiled laundry is due a very public airing. Ellen E Jones
The Bay

Tipped as the next Broadchurch, the story of missing teenage twins sees DS Lisa Armstrong (Morven Christie) realise she has an intimate connection to the family. Tonight, she worries about the role Sean played. Ali Catterall

Mums Make Porn

The documentary experiment reaches an uneasy climax, with problems finding performers and a location followed by creative disagreements. After that, though, the unthinkable happens: the group of mothers gather everyone they know in a screening room to show them their own homemade filth. Jack Seale
Veep
10.05pm, Sky Atlantic
The final season of the US political satire finds new depths of cringe comedy despite strong competition from real life. Selina (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is ready to announce her presidential bid, but the usual cocktail of ineptitude, backbiting and venality hampers her best efforts. Things are even more bleak for her rival, Jonah. GM
