It May Not Be The Last We’ve Seen Of ‘Red Table Talk,’ As Jada Pinkett Smith Looks For ‘New Home’ Amid Cancellation

Jada Pinkett Smith’s Emmy award-winning daytime show “Red Table Talk’ has been canceled as Meta moves to shut down Facebook Watch original programs, but it’s host hasn’t given up.

In light of being tabled, it may not be the last we’ve seen of Red Table Talk. Viewers may have another opportunity to watch the show even if it’s 2.0. Jada remains optimistic: “We at Red Table are in talks of finding a new home and we’ll see you soon.” Jada said.

On Thursday, a Meta representative confirmed the company is closing down its Facebook Watch originals, including the breakout series hosted by Jada, daughter Willow Smith, and mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris, Variety reports.

The show, produced by Jada and Will Smith’s Westbrook Studios production company, saw three generations in Jada’s family tackle current social and cultural issues with special guests. “Red Table Talk” reformed well on Facebook garnering over 11 million followers on Facebook and 600,000 active members in a Facebook discussion group.

The Smith’s Westbrook also produced a series spinoff, “Red Table Talk: The Estefans,” with Gloria Estefan, her daughter Emily and her niece Lili. Now that the deal is done, the production company is reportedly on the search for a new show distributor.

Amid the shutdown of Facebook Watch’s original programming, Meta’s entertainment team is transitioning the focus to creating virtual-reality experiences in Meta Horizon Worlds where users can access content across Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger.

“Red Table Talk” premiered its last episode on December 2022, KTLA reports. Jada and her family hosted a special reunion with the cast of “A Different World” to celebrate the show’s 35th anniversary.

Some of the show’s most memorable episodes include Jada’s shocking “entanglement” reveal with Will Smith in 2020, Jordyn Woods sharing the truth about her scandalous kiss with Tristan Thompson in 2019, Will and Jada’s marital discussions throughout the show’s history, as well their Coronavirus conversations in 2020, as noted by Memo’d.

In 2020, Jada credited media mogul Oprah Winfrey with pioneering the success she saw with “Red Table Talk.”

“This woman beside me is the only reason @RedTableTalk could even be imagined. Thank you @Oprah and congrats✨ 📷: @jas,” Pinkett Smith captioned an Instagram post, captured by People.
