“Red Table Talk” has been canceled as a result of Meta’s decision to discontinue all Facebook Watch originals.
On Thursday, a source familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak publicly confirmed the shutdown.
“We are so grateful to have had such a beautiful partnership and we are sorry to see the entire team disband,” said a statement shared on the show’s Facebook page. “We wish everyone well in their new journeys to come.”
The statement added that the show is “in talks of finding a new home.”
According to EW and Deadline, Westbrook is currently looking for a new network or streaming service for the talk show. According to Deadline, “Red Table Talk” was the last remaining Facebook Watch original.
“Red Table Talk” ran for five years and five seasons, and featured candid conversations between three generations of the Smith family: Adrienne Banfield-Norris, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Willow Smith. Sexuality, racism, addiction, narcissism, and other issues were discussed.
Tiffany Haddish, Ciara, Rumer Willis, Queen Latifah, and Lauren London were among the celebrities who appeared on the show with the women.
Following Will Smith’s contentious physical altercation with Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards, Pinkett Smith addressed the incident on “Red Table Talk” with empathy for both her husband and Rock.
