This comes after Jada Pinkett Smith confidently said in October that 'Red Table Talk' would be "coming back" in 2024 following its cancelation in April 2023.
It's been nearly a year since Red Table Talk was canceled, and Adrienne Banfield-Norris is opening up about the popular show's possible return.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, published on Wednesday, Adrienne -- who hosted the show alongside her daughter, Jada Pinkett Smith, and granddaughter, Willow Smith -- said she's hopeful that her family will be having discussions at the Red Table once again soon.

"I try to have those important family discussions. We have a lot to be talking about," she continued. "... We are growing and being blessed. We're growing, we're healing, and we're doing what we do. The family that prays together, stays together."
In April 2023, parent company Meta shut down Facebook Watch, effectively ending Red Table Talk, which was the platform's most popular show.
However, when asked if Red Table Talk will air on another platform in the future, Adrienne said, "You got to talk to Jada about that, I don't know!"

Across five seasons and 129 episodes, it picked up a Daytime Emmy Award and an NAACP Image Award.

While promoting her memoir, Worthy, back in October, Jada said Red Table Talk would be returning in 2024.
"The Red Table is coming back," she confirmed, answering a fan question during a livestream. "We are in the works of a situation right now. So next year."
"We could not do the Red Table while I was writing this book and while Willow was on her music journey. So we have decided to come back next year," added Jada, who was joined by her mom in the livestream.
