License to Kill (7 p.m., Oxygen) - The second season starts with host Dr. Terry Dubrow guiding viewers through shocking crimes by medical professionals. The premiere features Dr. Anthony Pignataro, a New York-based plastic surgeon who gained notoriety for a “snap-on” hairpiece. After falsifying credentials and harming patients, investigators uncovered dark secrets surrounding the doctor.

Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret (8 p.m., Lifetime) - Lifetime continues its celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Lifetime Movie by flashing back to this 2013 ripped-from-the-headlines classic about the murder trial of Jodi Arias (Tania Raymonde), convicted of killing her former boyfriend Travis Alexander (Jesse Lee Soffer). It’s followed by “Jodi Arias: Cellmate Secrets,” which has exclusive interviews with Tracy Brown and Donavan Bering, two women confined with Arias who became her loyal disciples, upending their own lives in the process. Through cryptic personal never-before-read letters and rare disturbing works of art, Brown and Bering recount stories of how Arias used her sex-appeal and manipulation to coerce them and others into becoming loyal followers that would do her bidding in and out of jail.
