Here’s everything worth watching in August

Thanks to the technological magic of a little process I call “scheduling an email,” by the time you read this newsletter I will already be on vacation. But don’t worry, I bubble wrapped my television, packed it in the station wagon with an extremely long extension cord, and will be watching TV from the wilderness so I don’t miss a thing. Here’s what to watch this week. -Tim   Your Watch This Now! newsletter is created by Senior Recommendations and Reviews Editor Tim Surette and more show-obsessed editors at TV Guide!   SEASON 3 PREMIERES TUESDAY ON HULU [Only Murders in the Building adds an award-winning tenant]( [Has anyone ever heard of this Meryl Streep woman? Apparently she's talented enough to join Only Murders in the Building Season 3, which picks up in the aftermath of the Season 2 finale, which [spoiler!!!] found Paul Rudd's character dying in the middle of the play Oliver (Martin Short) directed. The new season picks up in the aftermath of that shocker, and it catches us up on what went down in the year between solving Bunny's murder and opening night of Oliver's play. -Allison Picurro]( FRIDAY ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO [Red, White & Royal Blue adapts a royally beloved book]( Based on Casey McQuiston's hit novel, Red, White & Royal Blue is set in a better world where Uma Thurman is president of the United States and her son falls in love with a prince from the British royal family. Imagine the Harry and Meghan story with even more drama. [Here's everything to know about the film](. -Allison Picurro MINISERIES PREMIERES SUNDAY AT 10/9C ON HBO AND MAX [Telemarketers is calling you, but please don’t hang up]( [This fun and exciting three-part docuseries takes a look at the criminals, parolees, and drug dealers who became something truly despicable: telemarketers. Specifically, Telemarketers focuses on a pair of dudes who used to work for Civil Development Group (CDG), a fundraising scam that exploited vulnerable people with no other options to work in their phone banks, as they crusade against it and other telemarketing scams from the inside. Thanks to old camcorder footage showing the chaos in the office and a dogged desire to do good, the pair embark on a twisty investigation that goes further than you think it would. It’s produced by the Safdie brothers and Danny McBride, so it’s flavored with the anxious grittiness and humor you’d expect from them, while uniting us against some of the most vile people on Earth.]( SEASON 7 PREMIERES SUNDAY AT 8/7C ON SHOWTIME (AND FRIDAY ON PARAMOUNT+) [Billions brings back the big bucks boys]( [Billions is cashing its last check. The hit drama about financial crime will end with its seventh season, and it's going out in style — Bobby Axelrod (Damian Lewis) is back, baby. And while Axe, who fled to Switzerland in the Season 5 finale, returns for what we have to assume will be a dazzling final showdown with Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti), Mike Prince (Corey Stoll) is running for president. That should be enough to keep Chuck busy. (Note for everyone who can't wait: The Season 7 premiere will be available to stream Aug. 11 on Paramount+ with Showtime before airing Aug. 13 on Showtime.) -Kelly Connolly]( EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE [The ultimate guide to watch to watch in August]( Holy cannoli, it’s already August?
