TLC has renewed the series Who Do You Think You Are? for a new season, premiering in spring 2018. No announcement has been made about which celebrities will be featured on the series executive produced by Lisa Kudrow and Dan Bucatinsky.
According to genealogist and blogger Thomas MacEntee, who has interviewed the WDYTYA? executive producers and several of the celebrities, TLC starts each season with about 75 targetted celebrities. He said, “Of that number, maybe 20 have family histories that make for an interesting story. Then factor in shooting schedules, and you end up with six to eight celebrities.”
Is the UK version available over here?
The UK version is not broadcast in North America. You can, however, find some episodes on YouTube by searching for “Who Do You Think You Are.”
