Here’s what’s on TV tonight.

The Ashley Madison Affair (Hulu)

ABC News is releasing four new true crime documentary series this summer, starting tonight with the three-part series “The Ashley Madison Affair.” The series explores the notorious internet dating platform of the early 2000s, which catered to extramarital affairs until a data breach exposed its clientele and brought the company crashing down.

Also coming up in the ABC News / Hulu series:

  • “Betrayal: The Perfect Husband” (July 11): Based on the hit podcast, this tells the twisted love story of Jen Faison and her college sweetheart, Spencer Herron. Spoiler alert: Herron is not a good guy.

  • “Mother Undercover” (July 27): This four-part series tells the story of four courageous mothers on a mission to save or get justice for their children, who were taken through incidents of murder, international kidnapping, mass suicide and judicial corruption.

  • “Demons and Saviors” (Aug. 3): A three-part series about Christina Boyer, “once infamously known as the ‘poltergeist girl,’ now a woman convicted of murdering her 3-year-old daughter.”

NOTE: All of these will stream on Hulu and at this time are not on the ABC broadcast network schedule.

The Out-Laws (Netflix)

This movie released in theaters on June 30 and moves to Netflix today. It stars Adam Devine as a “straight-laced” bank manager engaged to the love of his life, played by Nina Debrov. When his bank is robbed by the infamous Ghost Bandits the week of his wedding, he thinks his future in-laws, Pierce Brosnan and Ellen Barkin, are the robbers.

Some programming descriptions are provided by networks.
