The
two-time Emmy nominated series WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? returns this
summer to share more fascinating stories, and shed light on surprising
revelations, of the real life family history of celebrities.
Executive Produced by Lisa Kudrow and Dan Bucatinsky, the new season
premieres Sunday, July 26 at 9/8c.
The contributors featured in the upcoming season include:
·
Tom
Bergeron, who is aware of his French Canadian roots on his paternal
side, but wants to know what brought his ancestors to North America. He
goes as far back as his 10x great grandmother
to find the answer.
·
Bryan Cranston, who comes to discover an unfortunate pattern amongst the men in his family.
·
Ginnifer
Goodwin, who sets out to learn about her mysterious paternal great
grandparents, whom her father, regretfully, does not know much about
either.
·
Alfre Woodard, who strives to find out more about the paternal side of her family, and explores how her surname came to be.
Additionally,
TLC will air the U.S. premiere of J.K. Rowling’s episode of the series,
where the best-selling author sets off to uncover her maternal French
roots. She finds that a family war story might not be
what she thought when military records reveal a surprising twist.
