PBS’s flagship genealogy series, “Finding Your Roots,” returns with another intriguing installment, this time featuring actress Sharon Stone and model-turned-TV-personality Chrissy Teigen. While their public personas might seem worlds apart, “Dreamers One and All” aims to reveal a shared ancestral thread: a lineage of ambitious individuals who dared to dream big.

Henry Louis Gates, Jr., the show’s ever-affable host and Harvard scholar, guides Stone and Teigen on separate journeys through their respective family trees. Stone’s exploration will reportedly lead her through European history, while Teigen’s lineage apparently includes some surprises from Thailand.

The episode will focus on the idea of inherited ambition, exploring how Stone and Teigen’s ancestors pursued their own dreams, whether those involved immigrating to a new country or pursuing a particular craft. It will be interesting to see how Gates connects those historical aspirations to the present-day successes of his celebrity guests. This episode looks to be a compelling blend of celebrity profile and deep historical investigation.
