After Facebook Watch Originals has shut down, it was announced that the popular show “Red Table Talk” has been canceled as well. Produced by Jada Pinkett Smith, the show has gained a loyal following and has even won a Daytime Emmy Award. The cancelation of the show comes as a disappointment to many fans who have come to love the show’s frank and open discussions about various issues faced by families today.
“Red Table Talk” tackled a wide range of topics, from mental health to motherhood, and even the COVID-19 pandemic. The show featured Jada Pinkett Smith, her daughter Willow Smith, and her mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris, who have all shared personal stories and experiences to help shed light on important issues.
While there were no official statements made by Meta, the decision to shut down Facebook Watch Originals seems to be part of the larger restructuring of the company towards a metaverse-focused business. This shift also means the end of other Facebook Watch Originals shows, which include “Sorry For Your Loss” and “Limetown.”
“Red Table Talk” has not only entertained viewers but has also given a platform for discussions and conversations that matter. With its cancelation, many are left wondering what other shows will fill the gap it has left behind.
