What's On Tonight (Monday): Your Best BET

 

Courtesy Entertainment Weekly.

Tonight's Top Pick is the BET Awards 2025, which will air on seven channels starting at 8 p.m. It's the 25th anniversary edition, hosted by Kevin Hart, and taking place at the Peacock Theatre in L.A.

While I root for Mariah Carey to win the Ultimate Icon Award -- over competition like Jamie Foxx and Snoop Dogg -- let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, June 9. All times are Eastern.

"When an art historian is found murdered in his home, DI Mick Palmer (Stephen Moyer) and DC Shazia Malik (Nina Singh) are sent to investigate. As they dig into the case, they uncover a vandalized painting, sabotaged security footage, and a dark family secret." Later, "The detectives look into the discovery of a gold Viking hoard stolen from a prehistoric burial chamber. After the site is reopened, they unearth a series of secrets and betrayals leading to a thousand-year-old cover-up." Two episodes available, followed by one per week through Monday, July 7.
