Returning: Who Do You Think You Are?

Shaun Micallef, Kerry O’Brien, Melissa George, Vince Colosimo, John Wood & Michael O’Loughlin feature in SBS' genealogy series.

The Australian series of Who Do You Think You Are? returns for a fourth series later this month.

The show has again attracted some impressive names, who will all trace their genealogy for the cameras.

Shaun Micallef, Kerry O’Brien, Melissa George, Vince Colosimo, John Wood and Michael O’Loughlin travel to all corners of Australia and the globe to find the definitive answer to where they came from. Along the way secrets are uncovered and histories revealed – from heroic tales of military battles to harrowing tales of war’s legacy, from nineteenth century brothels to twentieth century child abandonment – with each celebrity discovering that their ancestors form an integral part of not only their own identity, but that of the nation.

Combining emotional and personal journeys with big-picture history, these inspiring and sometimes challenging stories remind us how Australians have come to be the people that we are today.

With Australia’s multicultural background, this is a global story, with each celebrity tracing their ancestors around the world. They travel to the places where their forebears would have lived, loved and died, and learn about the hardships and hurdles their ancestors overcame.

This is a fascinating chronicle of the social, ethnic and cultural evolution of Australia’s national identity.

  1. I find this show fascinating, although the US version’s constant recaps get a bit frustrating.
    Interesting group of celebs, should be another great series.

  2. i’m glad that this show is returning. The first three seasons were great, and i would hope that this season would be as good. The line-up is pretty cool too.
