In episode one, we'll catch up with Cathie Cutler Evans, who we last saw in 2016 when she discovered that the birth mother who had given her up for adoption had already passed away. Now she's formed a powerful bond with new new-found half-sister Ann and their brother Mark - and we will find out how Cathie has felt about being welcomed into a huge new family.
We'll also follow up on the story of John Ayton, who was adopted as a baby but found out the tragic news that his birth father was also dead. But now he is wondering about his birth mother - and "John’s need for answers launches an incredible new search, taking him on a journey he never thought possible".

Finally, Long Lost Family will take us all the way back to someone we met in series two: Maureen Charlton, who was on a mission to find the brother who had been expelled from her family for being gay. What is their relationship like now, after so many years apart?
