December 11, 2019, BOSTON, MA — From an instantly-recognizable pop culture prop to a never-before-seen knockout reaction, PBS’s most-watched ongoing series continues to deliver surprises every week! Kicking off January 6 at 8/7C PM, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW visits five distinctive locations across the country to discover an all-new season of fascinating finds and the sublime stories that accompany them.
The 17-time Emmy® Award-nominated series will bring viewers along on its visits to a vibrant botanical garden in the desert, a living history celebration of our pioneer past, and more in the three one-hour episodes produced at each venue.
“This new season includes some of my favorite ROADSHOW moments in recent memory,” says ANTIQUES ROADSHOW executive producer Marsha Bemko. “Just when I think I’ve seen it all, the guests, objects, and stories we capture amaze me all over again. And if I am surprised, I think it’s a safe bet you will be too!”
A selection of surprises from the 25-episode season include:
