Jada Pinkett Smith has confirmed Red Table Talk will be returning next year.
During a livestream event on Saturday, the 52-year-old actress revealed she would be hosting the talk show once again after it was canceled earlier this year.
She said she would be bringing back the show with her daughter, Willow Smith, and her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, sometime in 2024.
‘The Red Table is coming back,’ she said in response to a fan’s question. ‘We are in the works of a situation right now. So next year.’
During the chat with Good Housekeeping and TalkShopLive, the Girls Trip star also talked about her bombshell tell-all — in which she dished on her complicated marriage with Will Smith, her ‘soulmate’ Tupac Shakur, and the infamous Chris Rock slap.

‘We could not do the Red Table while I was writing this book and while Willow was on her music journey,’ she explained. ‘So we have decided to come back next year.
The show — the final episode of which was released in December 2022 — was cancelled after five seasons along with other Facebook Watch Originals series after the platform announced they are moving away from producing original programming.
During the livestream, she was joined by her mother, and neither of them offered any additional details about Red Table Talk’s highly-anticipated comeback.
In conversation with fans, the Emmy winner also spoke about the inspiration behind her book.
She revealed Worthy came to be after she was in a very dark place, which made her want to open up and share her story.
‘I just remember being in some of the darkest places and just feeling like nobody saw me,’ she explained.
‘And there is nothing more lonely than not having anybody around you that can relate or see you,’ she said.

In response to Jada’s admission, her mother Gammy apologized for not noticing how much she was struggling.
‘I have to tell you how much I love you,’ she said. ‘I just have to apologize to you again for not even seeing some of these moments when you were in such a state of depression and me not even understanding that.’
Jada said she ‘didn’t understand’ what was going on either, and that’s ‘one of the reasons’ she wanted to ‘go in-depth’ about her mental health and write the book.
‘I’m just glad that you’re on the other side of it now,’ Gam said as she noted that it appears writing the memoir helped Jada heal.
Worthy can be pre-ordered right now and will be available on October 17.
