One of the celebrities in the upcoming season of the US version of Who Do You Think You Are? has French Canadian roots, but it is unclear if this part of his ancestry will be uncovered.
In TLC’s announcement about the new season of WDYTYA?, the television network said, “Tom Bergeron, who is aware of his French Canadian roots on his paternal side, 〈…〉 wants to know what brought his ancestors to North America. He goes as far back as his 10x great grandmother to find the answer.”
In addition to the “Dancing with the Stars” host, celebrities featured in the upcoming season include:
- “Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston, who comes to discover an unfortunate pattern amongst the men in his family.
- “Once Upon a Time’s” Ginnifer Goodwin, who sets out to learn about her mysterious paternal great grandparents, whom her father, regretfully, does not know much about either.
- Oscar-nominated actress Alfre Woodard, who strives to find out more about the paternal side of her family, and explores how her surname came to be.
TLC will also 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.
The new season begins Sunday, July 26 at 9:00 p.m.
