TV tonight: Natasha Lyonne solves the case of a murdered school gerbil
9pm, Sky MaxThe fun whydunnit continues and Charlie (Natasha Lyonne) is working at a posh elementary school this week, where she finds herself solving the murder of the class gerbil (the biggest victim yet?). She'll have to get to the bottom of a feud between a girl and a boy who are battling to get the most gold stars. Margo Martindale guest stars as the principal, with Adrienne C Moore as the teacher. Hollie Richardson 8pm, Channel 4What would have happened if the Nazis had occupied Britain? This series partly answers that time-worn question: much the same as what happened everywhere else. Eighty years have passed since the Channel Islands were liberated – this is a story of compromise, collaboration and, occasionally and heroically, resistance. Phil Harrison 9pm, BBC TwoAn 'inappropriate' portrait of the French queen is yet another scandal that rocks Paris in this episode ('She's painted in her underwear!'). Her masterplan to save her reputation? A haircut! Meanwhile, the diamond necklace scandal that Marie is unknowingly involved in gets bloody. HR 9pm, Channel 5Steve Backshall continues his full-spectrum appreciation of everything to do with bees, throwing himself with impressive energy into cultivating his own hive, wearing a beard of bees and monitoring the dreaded Asian hornet. Plus, more thoughts on how to safeguard their future. Jack Seale 9.50pm, BBC Three Actor, writer and Hackney native Danielle Vitalis springs back on to screens with this short sketch show exploring the 'funny unspoken rules from modern interaction'. We meet a driving instructor from hell, a trifling West Indian judge, and the podcaster who will say sorry for anything if it means more money and more followers. Matthew Pearce 10pm, Channel 4More from this absurdist meta-sitcom, with its gleefully chaotic blend of musical mischief, backstage parody and surreal sketch comedy from Taskmaster's Little Alex and his band. This week, a guest-star footballer, missing shoes, a soggy producer – and a mystery black eye for Nelly.

Has Poker Face been renewed for Season 3? Here's what we know:
Renewed or Cancelled? Poker Face is the latest comedic drama on Peacock, with an energetic cast, an inspired Natasha Lyonne in the driver's seat and a simple but effective premise. Having watched the first two seasons in its entirety, you may be wondering if this one has been renewed or cancelled. Well, wonder no more! What is Poker Face about? Charlie Cale is on the run. She stays on the move from town to town, out of sight of the casino bosses looking for her. Oh and also, Charlie knows when people are lying. A handy skill which comes into use as she stumbles across mysterious cases on the road. Poker Face is a mystery comedy-drama following the case-of-the-week format, created by Rian Johnson. So if you liked Knives Out and Glass Onion, this show will definitely tickle your itch for a good murder mystery. We have ongoing coverage of Poker Face on the site, including recaps for every episode. You can find those HERE! Has Poker Face been renewed for Season 2? At the time of writing, Poker Face has not been renewed for season 3. Generally Peacock would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate. With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show's future is made. So far, Poker Face has had a pretty good reaction online from critics and audiences alike. Given the way this show is set up, and the ending we receive, we're predicting that this will be renewed for a third season. The series has potential no doubt, and given its enduring popularity, it seems like it's only going to be a matter of time but we'll have to wait and see. However, we could be completely wrong too, so take our prediction with a pinch of salt! What we know about season 2 so far: Barely anything is known about Poker Face season 3 at this point given Peacock haven't officially renewed or cancelled this one. Given the season's conclusion, it seems likely that we could be seeing more of our characters though. Should this get the nod, we'd expect another 12 episode season and a return of the same cast and crew too. We will update this page when more information becomes available, so be sure to check this page out in the near future. Would you like to see Poker Face return for a third season?

Movies with burlesque, Sandra Bernhard among Parkway's Pride events in June
The Parkway Theater is celebrating Pride throughout June with a series of events that includes live podcasts, book launches, stand-up comedy, and a trio of movies curated by Queenie von Curves that will be paired with burlesque/drag performances hosted by the curator. The Von Curves-curated movie series starts on June 10 with But I'm a Cheerleader (1999), where Megan (Natasha Lyonne) gets sent to a camp by her tightly-wound parents who suspect that she might be a lesbian. The film also stars Clea DuVall (Marjorie from Veep), Michelle Williams, and RuPaul. That's followed by the Robin Williams and Nathan Lane classic, The Birdcage (1996), a movie that is playing a surprising number of times throughout the summer at Twin Cities theaters. The series wraps up with the cult classic The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994), which stars Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, and Terence Stamp. That trio stars as two drag queens and a transgender woman who travel the Australian Outback en route to a casino where they'll perform a long run. But the trip there — aboard their bus, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert — is where the episodic movie takes place as they meet other travelers, are subjected to abuse, and find some friends. It's almost odd to call it a cult classic when it won Un Certain Regard at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival and an Oscar for Best Costume Design. As always, the Parkway offers a series pass for its monthly film programs. This one costs $36, gets you into all three movies, and lands you a bag of popcorn at each screening. The three-movie pass is available through Wednesday, June 10, at 9 a.m. Other Pride-themed events in June include a new live show from comedian Sandra Bernhard on June 12, a new performance from Jeff Hiller called "Jeff Hiller Is Basic" on June 28, a screening of Purple Rain on June 5, and the "So Gay For You Book Tour" with Kate Moenning and Leisha Hailey on June 7.
