David Mitchell's cosy-crime drama Ludwig returns to BBC One at 9pm for its second series. The show follows John "Ludwig" Taylor, whose true identity was revealed in the first series, but jeopardy is maintained as he becomes a police employee while still investigating his brother's fate. He solves a case a week in his bumbling style, though chief constable Ziegler is suspicious and knows something is up without being sure what. The series is described as undemanding fun, enlivened by Mitchell's lead performance and Anna Maxwell Martin's Lucy.

On Prime Video, Novak Djokovic: The Wolf in Winter is a documentary directed by Jason Hehir about the tennis giant. Jelena Djokovic describes her husband as "soft and gentle … but also angry." The film explores his intensity and stubbornness, which have not endeared him to the public, but goes behind the scenes at the 2025 Australian Open to reveal an honest, engaging family man with a history of tough choices.
