Facebook Watch, Facebook's video destination, has signed a three year deal for "Red Table Talk" with Jada Pinkett Smith and Westbrook Studios. The pact will keep the hit Daytime Emmy-nominated series exclusively on the platform with new episodes streaming through 2022 featuring host and Executive Producer Jada Pinkett Smith, her daughter Willow Smith and mother Adrienne Banfield Norris, also known as "Gammy."

Facebook Watch has also greenlit a second "Red Table Talk" franchise from Jada Pinkett Smith and Westbrook Studios with "Red Table Talk: The Estefans", featuring music icon and Grammy winner Gloria Estefan, her daughter and rising musician Emily Estefan and her niece and Daytime Emmy Award-winning Lili Estefan - three generations of women, who are bringing the Red Table to Miami for a new series of candid conversations about today's most timely, social and personal issues with family, celebrity guests and experts. "Red Table Talk" has emerged as the go-to place to unpack the most compelling social issues of today, and no topic is off-limits as the women bring their own opinions, life experiences and headline generating topics to the table that are personal and resonate with their communities and fans. Jada Pinkett Smith and Gloria Estefan will both serve as executive producers.
