Behind every name sits a human story ...

Who Do You Think You Are? follows a celebrity on a deeply personal journey into their family’s past. Guided by historians and genealogists, they uncover remarkable stories of love, loss, triumph and resilience, discovering how the lives of their ancestors were shaped by the times they lived in, and perhaps learning a little more about themselves along the way.
What begins with curiosity often leads to powerful moments of laughter, pride and emotion, as family history opens a window onto wider social and historical change. The past becomes personal, and major events are seen through the lives of ordinary people connected to someone in the spotlight.
Every journey is unique, shaped by the celebrity, their heritage and the history of their country, giving the format a natural ability to adapt to different cultures and territories while retaining its distinctive emotional heart.
By the end of each episode, both the celebrity and the audience gain a new perspective: that behind every name in a family tree lies a human story waiting to be told.

Produced in over 15 countries, Who Do You Think You Are? has proved its enduring appeal with long-running adaptations around the world. The UK original has reached 23 series, while the format has run for 19 series in the Netherlands, 17 in Australia and 11 in the US, demonstrating its ability to return season after season with new stories to uncover.
