Given the heatwaves that have hit the UK in the past few weeks, you’d be forgiven for not having turned on your television since the World Cup. Then again, the coolness of a dark living room with a fan is the perfect escape from the heat – so you might as well reach for the remote.
And with another heatwave on the way, thank god there’s some decent TV coming up this month. From the return of Ted Lasso and Ludwig to new series from Ricky Gervais and the DC universe, all tastes are accounted for. Here’s everything to watch in August:

The third series of Apple TV’s sickly sweet football comedy was supposed to be its last, but thanks to star and writer Jason Sudeikis having a fresh idea for his eponymous coach, it’s back. This time, Ted is taking charge of Richmond’s second-division women’s team – other than that, details have been kept under wraps. We do know, however, that the whole gang is returning, including Hannah Waddingham’s witty Rebecca and the ultimate will-they-won’t-they couple Keeley (Juno Temple) and Roy (Brett Goldstein).
