Prince Harry & Oprah Are Releasing a Follow Up Special to 'The Me You Can't See'

Prince Harry and Oprah Winfrey's documentary series focusing on mental health awareness is heading to Apple TV+ this month.

Titled The Me You Can't See, the show will feature Winfrey and the Duke of Sussex discussing mental health journeys and emotional well-being with a number of high-profile guests, including Lady Gaga, Glenn Close, and NBA players DeMar DeRozan and Langston Galloway. Winfrey and Harry will open up about their own experiences too.

With conversations transcending culture, age, gender, and socioeconomic status, the goal of the series is to challenge stigmas around mental health and let viewers know that they're not alone. Producers behind the show also teamed up with 14 "accredited and respected experts and organizations from around the world to help shed light on different pathways to treatment," according to Apple.

"Now more than ever, there is an immediate need to replace the shame surrounding mental health with wisdom, compassion, and honesty," Winfrey said in a statement. "Our series aims to spark that global conversation."

"We are born into different lives, brought up in different environments, and as a result are exposed to different experiences. But our shared experience is that we are all human," Harry said. "The majority of us carry some form of unresolved trauma, loss, or grief, which feels—and is—very personal. Yet the last year has shown us that we are all in this together, and my hope is that this series will show there is power in vulnerability, connection in empathy, and strength in honesty."

How to Watch

The Me You Can't See premieres Friday, May 21. It'll be available to stream only on the Apple TV+ app. Monthly subscriptions are $5 after a seven-day free trial.

There's even some personal footage of the Duke of Sussex, including a shot with Duchess Meghan and a clip of a young Harry at his mother Princess Diana's funeral.

"To make that decision to receive help is not a sign of weakness," he says in the preview. "In today's world, more than ever, it is a sign of strength."
