Hausen
9pm, Sky Atlantic

There is a dark, Ballardian twist on horror in this series from Sky Germany. After his mother dies, 16-year-old Juri (Tristan Göbel) moves with his father, Jaschek (Charly Hübner), to a run-down apartment building at the edge of a fictional city, where Jaschek works as a caretaker. Something isn’t quite right, though; in tonight’s opening double bill, the pair investigate the case of a resident couple’s missing baby and soon realise that the building itself may have something to do with it. Is it feeding off its inhabitants’ suffering? Ammar Kalia

Detroit (Kathryn Bigelow, 2017), 11.20pm, BBC Two
Kathryn Bigelow’s furious, chillingly topical drama tells a true story of racial injustice during civil unrest in the US city in 1967. John Boyega is the film’s calm centre as a security guard caught in a nightmarish situation involving violent, racist cops and a group of African Americans holed up in a motel. Simon Wardell
