Facebook Cancels Red Table Talk


Jada Pinkett-Smith's Facebook Watch talk show 'Red Table Talk' has been canceled...

Mina Lefevre, who was Head of Development and Programming at Meta, is departing Facebook’s parent company.
The departure comes amid a pivot for Facebook, which already had scaled back its original programming efforts since the days of scripted series such as Elizabeth Olsen-fronted Sorry For Your Loss and Sacred Lies, shepherded by Lefevre.
None of the remaining FB Watch Originals, most notably Red Table Talk, are coming back for new seasons as the company is getting out of that business, shifting its focus on creating VR experiences in Meta Horizon Worlds that can also be deployed across Facebook, Instagram and Messenger. FB Watch remains as video player for such content, while members of Lefevre’s team, including Thomas Stockwell, are staying on to work on original programming with an emphasis on VR-first shows.
In addition to the Red Table Talk franchise, Facebook unscripted/talk original series launched under Lefevre also included Steve on Watch with Steve Harvey, Piece of Mind with Taraji with Taraji P. Henson, a reboot of the reality hit MTV’s The Real World, 9 Months with Courteney Cox, Unfiltered: Paris Jackson, The Biebers on Watch and Tom vs. Time with Tom Brady.

As a working family, they will be ok. Jada has her Netflix series, Willow has her music and gma has her podcast, sobriety and hubby.

Jada has more important things to do like being Will's beard.

Honest, adult conversations about stuff that mattered. I wasn't a regular watcher, but the episode about mental health featuring Kid Cudi left me in tears.

People are really in their feelings about this woman. The more people keep speaking on her doesn’t make her look any worse than them. At this point all I see are hypocrites with glass houses.

She has enough money to do what ever she wants.

I hope they relaunch somewhere else. Jadas perspective is valuable. Her openness is refreshing!!!! We all have problems and she was offering lots of very valuable information!!!!
