Wimbledon Begins, Stories of the ‘Unknown’ on Netflix, ‘Price Is Right’ Salutes the Military, Emma Roberts Pays a ‘Celebrity IOU’
Wimbledon
The classic Grand Slam from the All England Lawn Tennis Club begins with first-round coverage through 5 pm/ET. All eyes will be on Novak Djokovic, who once again is gunning for a calendar Grand Slam, having won at the Australian and French Open, where he scored his record 23rd Grand Slam title. Also with something to prove: Carlos Alcaraz, the young top seed who cramped up after two sets while facing the tennis legend in France.
Unknown: The Lost Pyramid
Over four Mondays, a new docuseries looks into the past, and sometimes the future, to tell stories of explorations into remarkable, unseen places. First stop: Egypt, where rival archaeologists scour the desert sands of Saqqara in the search for ancient treasure and long-buried mysteries. Dr. Zahi Hawass is hunting for the lost-to-history pyramid of an obscure Egyptian king, while protégé Dr. Mostafa Waziri seeks an undisturbed tomb in a necropolis. Will either or both make the discovery of a lifetime?
The Price Is Right
The daytime game show returns to prime time for a 4th of July-themed tribute to active-duty and veteran military members and their families. While they play for big prizes and money, the United States Air Force’s Band of the Golden West from Sacramento performs for the crowd.
Celebrity IOU
