What's on this week (31 August – 6 September 2026): The Grand Tour opens a new season, anime finales edge closer

This is the weekly tour of the calendar: the episodes and premieres between Monday 31 August and Sunday 6 September, picked from what's most followed on the schedule and rated highest by viewers. On the anime side, several of this summer's biggest shows are down to their last two or three episodes; on TV, The Grand Tour opens a new season and The Gentlemen lands its full eight-episode run in one go. The dates come from the same sync that powers the weekly grid — broadcasters move things around, so the calendar itself is always the source of truth.
