Objects profiled in the series include the Koh-i-Noor, the Parthenon Marbles, the Benin Bronzes, the Gweagal shield, Tipu's Tiger and the Mokomokai.[1]

The series premiered November 1, 2022, on ABC, and January 6, 2023, on CBC.

A second season of the series has been greenlit, slated for broadcast in 2024.[3]

The series received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best History Documentary Program or Series at the 12th Canadian Screen Awards in 2024.[4]
