Witchy woman

The second season of "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" is packed with even more chills as our heroine (spooky good Kiernan Shipka) gets more in touch with her dark side, to the point where she even contemplates burning down her school. Still, it's a stretch to think the demons are any match for the former "Mad Men" terror. Note to the Dark Lord: Just using a deep voice doesn't make you scary.

Into the wild

Bears Grylls is bringing a whole new meaning to the term "roughing it." Catch him as host of "Hostile Planet," the docuseries that focuses this week on how ocean life is trying to adapt to climate change. Starting Wednesday, you can also catch Grylls in Netflix's "You vs. Wild," a sort-of interactive experiment where viewers get to choose their own adventure or, rather, Grylls' adventure.

8 p.m. National Geographic

What time is it?

Instead of digging out your old '80s albums, give "Minnesota Experience – Minneapolis Sound" another spin. This documentary, which originally aired some 30 years ago, spotlights Prince, the Time and Hüsker Dü back in their heyday with new commentary from creator Emily Goldberg.

9 p.m. TPT, Ch. 2
