The four-part series from NBC News Studios and MSNBC Films, My Generation , will feature interviews and archival footage to explore each of the four generations that make up the vast majority of Americans: Baby Boomers (born 1946 to 1964), Generation X (born 1965 to 1981), Millennials (born 1981 to 1996) and Gen Z (born after 1997).

Each episode will feature celebrity narrators who are from that generation to walk viewers through their experiences.

The Baby Boomer episode will be narrated by Forest Whitaker, and explores those who grew up in the shadow of world events like the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the assassinations of JFK, Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy.

The Generation X episode will be narrated by Ethan Hawke, and will feature interviews with Tony Hawk, Alyssa Milano, and Richard Linklater.

Kristen Bell will narrate the Millennials episode, the generation “branded as the entitled and coddled generation while being the last generation to experience life before the Internet,” per MSNBC, and which will also include LeAnn Rimes, Jimmy O. Yang, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Hayley Williams.

And the Gen Z episode will be narrated by Jenna Ortega, and feature interviews with David Hogg and notable Gen Z activists, Olivia Juliana, and Deja Foxx, among others.

The first episode, on the Baby Boomers, will debut on Saturday Oct. 5 at 9 p.m., with the next three episodes running in the same timeslot over the following weeks.

“Each generation is unique and was shaped by the major events and pop culture of their formative years,” says executive producer David Rivera. “But My Generation is more than just nostalgia for your youth: You’re going to learn about all the other generations — and what they think about yours. Good, bad and ugly — our roster of famous and outspoken interviewees held nothing back!”
