The genealogy show Who Do You Think You Are?, produced by Wall to Wall Media, is slated to return to BBC One and iPlayer this spring.
The latest series of the acclaimed genealogy show will see eight celebrities uncover astounding revelations as they dive into their families’ heritage. In its 22nd season, the lineup features Andrew Garfield, Diane Morgan, Mishal Husain, Ross Kemp, Aisling Bea, Will Young, Fred Sirieix and Layton Williams.
Simon Young, BBC’s head of history, said: “The stellar lineup this year is a real treat for our audiences. But so is the history, from the shock of a royal ancestor to epic stories of survival. And that’s why this series endures because it hints at the amazing family micro-histories that make all of us who we are.”
Colette Flight, executive producer for Wall to Wall Media, commented: “Spanning centuries and traveling the globe, Who Do You Think You Are? is back, with eight much-loved celebrities to entertain and captivate us as they delve into their family histories. As they discover their ancestors’ adventures, triumphs, trials and tribulations, their rich family stories reveal incredible snapshots of history, including one of the greatest villains of Medieval England, the evacuation at Dunkirk, rescuing art looted by the Nazis and the birth of American Independence.”
