The new series features the music icon along with her daughter and rising musician, Emily Estefan, and her niece, Spanish language television host Lili Estefan.
“I’m incredibly proud of Red Table Talk, and thrilled to build upon this franchise with my family and with Gloria, Emily and Lili,” Pinkett Smith said Wednesday in a statement to the media. “Red Table Talk has created a space to have open, honest and healing conversations around social and topical issues, and what’s most powerful for me is hearing people’s stories and engaging with our fans in such a tangible way on the Facebook Watch platform. I’m excited to see the Estefans put their spin on the franchise and take it to new places.”
Lili Estefan also shared the news with her followers on Instagram.
The new show will be based in Miami, where Estefan lives, and will feature the women having candid conversations about timely topics, social and personal issues with family, in addition to celebrity guests and experts.
“Jada and I have spoken about this a lot and feel my daughter, niece and I can tackle issues important to us and our fans with a new and fresh voice,” Estefan said.
Red Table Talk: The Estefans, will be produced by Pinkett-Smith, Westbrook Studios and Estefan, with Ellen Rakieten and Miguel Melendez serving as executive producers.
