  • Story Text: After a successful debut, "Red Table Talk: The Estefans" is back with 12 new episodes for Facebook Watch on September 30th.
    The conversational talk show is hosted by singer Gloria Estefan, her daughter Emily and niece Lili and aims to address topics with a generational approach.
    The first season they talked about Lili's divorce, Emily's 'coming out' and other personal trumpihs. This season they hope to merge their personal stories with topical subjects.
    "We also looked inward and said, what's going to help? Who's listening?," said Emily.
    One of those special stories will include the struggles in Gloria's native country of Cuba.
    "We needed to focus on the protests that were happening there, but we've got really unique things that people have not heard. We hear from people directly in Cuba and you hear a lot of personal stories also," said Gloria.
    The first episode will feature Clare Crawley, who was the first Latina Bachelorette on a popular U.S. dating reality show. Later in the season the trio will tackle topics including colorism, online bullying and plastic surgery.
    The series is a spinoff from actress Jada Pinkett Smith's show that she host with her daughter, Willow and her mother.
