Season Kicks Off Monday at 9PM/ET with
All-New Episodes “Lost Rembrandt” and “Nat Turner’s Bible”
FOX Business Network (FBN) will kick off the fourth season of
hit primetime reality series Strange Inheritance on Monday, January
15th at 9PM/ET. Hosted by Jamie Colby, the series will debut with a
special two-day premiere featuring back-to-back episodes on both
Monday and Tuesday, January 16th. These episodes are part of a
series which chronicles the stories of unique inheritances from
people and places across the country.
In the first half-hour installment, entitled “Lost Rembrandt,”
three sons discover the painting that once hung in their parents'
New Jersey dining room is a long-lost work by the 17th century
Dutch master artist Rembrandt van Rijn. In the following episode,
entitled “Nat Turner’s Bible,” Colby features the story of Nat
Turner as he led the 1832 slave rebellion, and a Virginia family
who inherited Turner’s bible as they decide what to do with the
family heirloom.
The premiere week continues on Tuesday, January 16th with two
additional new episodes debuting back-to-back beginning at 9PM/ET.
The first, entitled “Our Town,” details the story of siblings who
inherited an entire Pennsylvania company town. At 9:30PM/ET,
“Cannon Father” shares the tale of two Oregon brothers who inherit
their gunsmith father’s massive arsenal of vintage military weapons
dating back to the Revolutionary War.
Over the course of the series, Colby has crisscrossed the
country, traveling to 38 states and spending over 300 days a year
filming. This year, over a third of all the stories featured
are from viewer submissions, including a 60,000 piece
hand-made toy circus, more than 100 miniature Bibles that landed on
the moon, an astrodome railroad car, and Harry Houdini’s
jewel-encrusted pin.
Additionally, this season will dive into the story of a man who
inherited a long-lost Norman Rockwell painting worth over $15
million. Following Colby’s visit to the Norman Rockwell Museum, the
museum’s Deputy Director tells Colby that “Strange
Inheritance...like Rockwell's art, provides a deep look into
humanity and into the essential goodness of people whose lives take
uniquely different turns...which brings us back to our basic sense
of humanity and connectivity, much needed in challenging
times.”
Strange Inheritance first debuted in January 2014 and was one of
the highest rated programs in network history at the time of
launch. Since then, Colby’s connection with viewers and always
fascinating storylines have made it one of the highest rated
original entertainment programs on FBN.
The series is produced by Towers Productions, which is known for
such programs as The History Channel’s Gangland, National
Geographic’s Inside 9/11, The Weather Channel’s Storm Stories and
A&E’s American Justice.
