Unique in its capacity for inspiring self-reflection and humility, "Who Do You Think You Are?" season 22 delves 800 years into the past to trace the fascinating and often distressing paths forged by the ancestors of eight famous faces, including Andrew Garfield, Will Young and Diane "Philomena Cunk" Morgan.
Here's how to watch "Who Do You Think You Are? U.K." 2025 from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for free.
'Who Do You Think You Are?' U.K. 2025 streaming, TV channel, date
"Who Do You Think You Are?" 2025 premieres on Tuesday, April 22 at 9 p.m. BST on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Episodes air in the same slot each week.
• WATCH FREE — BBC iPlayer (U.K. restricted)
• Unblock ITVX — Use NordVPN (risk-free trial)
The quest to uncover their lineage takes this season's personalities to Jamaica, Morocco, India, Poland, Germany, Ireland, the U.S. and France, taking in violence, romance, revelation and, in the case of former "EastEnders" actor Ross Kemp, a family mystery.
While one side of "Spiderman" actor Garfield's family was fleeing Nazi Germany, the other was living a life of decadence in Hollywood. Journalist Mishal Husain probably didn't expect to find out that her ancestors played a pivotal role in the American War of Independence.
Maître d'hôtel Fred Sirieix's predecessors having wine-making connections, on the other hand, feels almost ludicrously predictable.
Read on for how to watch "Who Do You Think You Are?" online and from outside the U.K.
