Red Table Talk is closing its doors for now.

The popular talk show — co-hosted by Jada Pinkett Smith, her mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris, and her daughter Willow Smith — has been canceled as its network Facebook Watch is shut down by Meta, PEOPLE confirms.

Deadline was first to report the news that Facebook Watch's original programming endeavors were ending, with none of its shows returning for more seasons. It added that Red Table Talk was being shopped around to other interested networks. Variety reported that it is a cost-cutting measure.

Produced by Westbrook Studios, Red Table Talk won a Daytime Emmy for outstanding informative talk show in 2021. It premiered in 2018, and it later spawned the spinoff Red Table Talk: The Estefans.

In 2019, Jada, 51, paid tribute to one of her mentors, Oprah Winfrey, saying on Instagram, "This woman beside me is the only reason @RedTableTalk could even be imagined. Thank you @Oprah and congrats."

Jada told Rolling Stone in 2021 that "broadening the empire" was her goal with expanding the Red Table Talk brand. She added of the show, "To be able to sit [as] three Black women and see the variety of perspectives is really interesting, because I know a lot of people just like to put Black women in one big old pot. That myth has to be dissolved."
