Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Wednesday, June 30. All times are Eastern.


Top pick

The Bold Type (Freeform, 10 p.m., series finale): After five seasons of Sutton (Meghann Fahy), Kat (Aisha Dee), and Jane (Katie Stevens) exploring their friendship, as well as professional and romantic identities, it’s time to bid goodbye to the women of Scarlet magazine—and the show’s media industry that probably exists in a parallel universe. The Bold Type will end its run with “I Want You To Have Adventures.” The drama, created by Sarah Watson, also stars Sam Page, Nikohl Boosheri, Stephen Conrad Moore, Matt Ward, and Melora Hardin as the world’s best boss.

Regular coverage

Loki (Disney+, 3:01 a.m.)

America: The Motion Picture (Netflix, 3:01 a.m.): In this animated science-fiction parody, President George Washington and his men go to war to save their country in an alternate timeline.

Her murder became a media obsession in both Ireland and France.

Dogs With Extraordinary Jobs (Smithsonian Channel, 8 p.m., series premiere): Get ready for one of the cutest shows of recent times. This five-part series sheds a light on the fluffy canines from across the world who put their lives on the line to save humans, whether it’s a team of canine detectives helping prevent an ecological disaster or hunting down hidden ivory illegally smuggled out of Africa. The show reveals how dogs’ natural abilities are being harnessed in creative ways to increase safety, and maintain the health of our planet. It is narrated by renowned dog behavior expert and best-selling author Victoria Stilwell.
