There are 10 episodes for this season. Here are the celebrity guests announced so far or seen in the trailer: Lea Salonga, Amanda Seyfried, Joy Behar, Michael Imperioli, Amy Tan, Rita Dove, Sharon Stone, Chrissy Teigan, José Andrés, Sean Sherman, Rubén Blades, Natalie Morales, Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard, Debra Messing, Melanie Lynskey, Lawrence Fishburne, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Lonnie Bunch, AND it appears from the trailer that Henry Louis Gates gets his own Book of Life with the solution to a mystery that has haunted Gates' own family for generations.

Don't forget between 2022 and 2023 we created Genealogy TV Show BINGO cards for you and your family or a viewing party can play while watching. We tweaked the cards so that by version 4 it would work well with both types of genealogy TV shows. The earlier versions tend to work better for one show type or the other. Regardless of which version you use, have fun!

See you at our favorite library!
