The Last of Us

9pm, Sky Atlantic
Anybody else hear a clicking noise? Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey’s hit mushroom zombie drama is back for a second season. It starts with a flashback scene, signalling major trouble ahead, but, in the present, Joel (Pascal) and Ellie (Ramsey) have been settled in a thriving community in Wyoming for the past five years. Joel’s most pressing problem now is that he feels emotionally estranged from 19-year-old Ellie (Ramsey) – who hasn’t told anyone about her immunity to the virus. Catherine O’Hara and Kaitlyn Dever are top additions to the cast, and though the opener begins slowly, it inevitably has an action-packed payoff involving Clickers – with the threat of new types of monsters to come.

Masters of Reinvention

7pm, U&Yesterday
This series shares DNA with The Repair Shop and is a charming tribute to everyday ingenuity.

Here, world No 1 chess player Magnus Carlsen sets the four remaining contestants a memory test. Alexi Duggins

Reunion

9pm, BBC One
This thriller, which uses sign language, is getting more layered and knotty now that we know the devastating reason why recently released Daniel Brennan (Matthew Gurney) refuses to tell Christine Mokhar (Anne-Marie Duff) why he killed her husband. He seeks redemption by driving to the scene of an old crime – but, with Christine in tow, will the secret finally come out? HR

Six years have passed since the devastating fire, and now the restoration of Notre-Dame de Paris is entering its final stages. TV historian Lucy Worsley was the long-time chief curator of Historic Royal Palaces, so she is the perfect person to take us inside the medieval jewel as it readies for reopening. Ellen E Jones

The Feud

9pm, Channel 5
Breathless British psychological thrillers seem to be back in vogue, and this one has an unimprovable premise. Rupert Penry-Jones and Jill Halfpenny are the Barnetts, a couple enjoying a perfect suburban life that must, of course, be spectacularly destroyed. The trouble starts when they … plan a kitchen extension. Jack Seale
