Returning: A Life In Ten Pictures

Season 2 of A Life In Ten Pictures begins next week, upgraded to an 8pm Thursday slot.

Episode 1 profiles Carrie Fisher while others to come include Bruce Lee, Robin Williams, Alexander McQueen, Nelson Mandella and Ella Fitzgerald.

In each episode of this six-part series, the life of an extraordinary person is told and reevaluated in ten iconic pictures. The subjects are a diverse range of celebrated people from recent history, including movie stars, politicians and cultural figures.

The pictures are the backbone and driving force of each story, shining a light on the subjects’ life and times – with the secrets behind each snap revealed through interviews with people who knew them best. Each image acts as a window on to a definitive milestone in the person’s journey, and also highlights broader themes of our time such as identity, race, gender, politics, sexuality and mental health.

Episode 1 – Carrie Fisher
Carrie Fisher’s image is famous around the world. But just a handful of iconic shots and private snaps reveal a new story: it’s an extraordinary life seen through a unique lens.

8pm Thursday June 29 on ABC.
