Shortly after the news of its cancellation, the programme’s official Instagram page shared a statement.
It reads: “We are so grateful to have had such a beautiful partnership with Facebook Watch and we are sorry to see the entire team disband. We wish everyone well in their new journeys to come.
“We at Red Table are in talks of finding a new home and we’ll see you soon.”
The programme was produced by Pinkett-Smith’s production company Westbrook Studios – which she runs with her husband.
