In that world, her boyfriend (Israel Broussard) is with someone else while her friends and fellow students are dramatically different. Even worse, she is once again the target of a masked killer. 8 p.m. HBO

The College Admissions Scandal Loosely based on the ongoing academic scandal involving celebrity defendants, this 2019 drama stars Penelope Ann Miller and Mia Kirshner as a pair of wealthy mothers who share an obsessive desire to get their daughters into the best possible colleges. A smooth-talking college admissions consultant (Michael Shanks) offers them what sounds like a foolproof plan to achieve that goal, until the FBI picks up on the scheme and both moms face criminal prosecution. 8 p.m. Lifetime

Love, Fall & Order As autumn arrives a New York attorney (Erin Cahill) travels back to her Vermont hometown to help save her dad’s (Gregory Harrison) farm, which is at risk in a bitter legal battle with his neighbor.

The Banana Splits Movie This new TV movie is definitely not for kids.
