What to Watch Sunday: Documentaries on Jeffrey Epstein, Lance Armstrong, Laurel Canyon
My Husband’s Deadly Past (8 p.m., Lifetime) - This weekend’s two-night marathon of classic Lifetime movies ends with this brand new offering about a woman haunted by visions that suggest she killed a missing coed. She later discovers that her psychiatrist husband has manipulated her memory to hide his own role in the murder. It stars Sarah Butler, Peter Benson, Madelyn Grace, Brendon Zub and Lucia Walters.
Celebrity Family Feud (8 p.m., ABC) - Tonight’s Season 3 premiere is a matchup between Queer Eye: OG vs. Queer Eye: The New Class — teams from the old and new seasons of the TV show “Queer Eye.” New seasons of “Press Your Luck” and “Match Game” also premiere tonight.
Who Killed Jeffrey Epstein? (9 p.m., Investigation Discovery) - The seventh night of ID’s “Nine at 9” series of true crime shows looks at Jeffrey Epstein, the mysterious financier charged in July 2019 with sex trafficking and conspiracy and then found a month later dead in his prison cell. Epstein was connected to some of the world’s most elite political figures and celebrities, and many believe his death — officially ruled a suicide — was actually murder. Suicide? Assassination? This three-hour special takes a closer look at the life and crimes and the questions surrounding his death. The last two stories to come in this “Nine at 9” ID series include Jennifer Dulos and a figure linked to Joe Exotic. Earlier this week, we had specials on murdered UNC student Faith Hedgepeth and missing Myrtle Beach woman Heather Elvis.
Laurel Canyon (9 p.m., Epix) - Tonight we get Part 1 of this two-part docuseries, which pulls back the curtain on the mythical world of Laurel Canyon in the heart of Los Angeles in the 1960s and 70s, and the lives of the musicians who inhabited it. Through rare and newly unearthed footage and audio recordings, the documentary features an intimate portrait of the artists who would create a music revolution and change popular culture: Linda Ronstadt, Michelle Phillips, Graham Nash, Jackson Browne, Don Henley, Bonnie Raitt, Roger McGuinn and others. Part 2 airs at 9 p.m. Sunday, June 7.
Lance (ESPN / ESPN2) - The second (and final) part of this 30 for 30 documentary, which chronicles Lance Armstrong’s rise to become one of the most inspirational stories in sports history — and then, his absolute fall from grace. As with the Michael Jordan documentary, “The Last Dance,” ESPN will air a “strong language” version but simulcast a version edited for language on ESPN2.
Killing Eve (9 p.m., AMC / BBC America) - Eve and Villanelle try to work out what the future may hold for them in the Season 3 finale.
