Yellowstone 2
Channel: S3
TX Time: 21h30
Genre: Western, Drama
Yellowstone stars Kevin Costner as John Dutton, who controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States, under constant attack by those it borders - land developers, an Indian reservation and America's first National Park.
It is an intense study of a violent world far from media scrutiny - where land grabs make developers billions, and politicians are bought and sold by the world's largest oil and lumber corporations.
Where drinking water poisoned by fracking wells and unsolved murders are not news: they are a consequence of living in the new frontier.
It is the best and worst of America seen through the eyes of a family that represents both.
In the Season 2 premiere, "A Thundering": Kayce settles into his new role at the ranch and a damaging article threatens to expose John.
Also, Rainwater pitches his new plan to the tribal council.
Summer Baking Championship 2
Channel: Food Network (DStv 175)
TX Time: 16h05
Genre: Reality Competition, Food
It is a sweet escape this summer on the return of Summer Baking Championship.
Host Jesse Palmer welcomes 10 fresh bakers from around the country into the kitchen to prove their baking talents in summer-travel themed challenges.
From mile-high berry pies to delectable dessert tacos, the bakers must impress judges Duff Goldman, Carla Hall and Damaris Phillips to claim the title Summer Baking Champion and the grand price of $25,000.
The competition kicks off with a challenge where the bakers must craft the perfect poolside snack - ice cream bars.
However, there's a twist - no ice cream allowed.
The bars must look like ice cream bars, but can only be made of cake or cookies, and need to be beautifully decorated for summer.
The baker that wins the pre-heat challenge earns an exclusive upgrade from the "First Class Station" granting them an advantage in the main heat, where the bakers must utilise ingredients from popular summertime cocktails to create a summer tart.
Throughout the season, the bakers will face challenges highlighting the best summer has to offer from tropical fruit to beach vacations.
In the semifinals, the challenges celebrate Discovery's Shark Week, requiring the bakers to whip up shark bite cookie bars and shark cage desserts.
Then, in the grand finale it's fireworks and flags, as the three remaining bakers celebrate America's birthday by creating a New York City-inspired Fourth of July fireworks cake complete with lights and lasers.
In the end, one baker will be crowned Summer Baking Champion and take home $25,000.
