Prince Harry and Oprah Winfrey reveal premiere date for 'The Me You Can't See' mental health series

Prince Harry and Oprah Winfrey have announced the premiere date for their new Apple TV+ mental health series, The Me You Can’t See.

The multi-part documentary series will premiere on May 21 on Apple TV+, and it will focus on helping to “lift the veil on the current state of mental health and well-being,” according to the press release.

The Me You Can’t See will share guided, honest discussions with Winfrey and Harry about mental health and emotional well-being while they both open up about their own mental health journeys and struggles. The producers partnered with experts and organizations around the world to help shed light on different ways to deal with mental health struggles and treatment options. 

"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," Prince Harry said in the press release shared on Monday.

"The majority of us carry some form of unresolved trauma loss, or grief, which feels — and is—very personal," Harry said in a new statement about the Apple TV+ series. "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."

“Now more than ever, there is an immediate need to replace the shame surrounding mental health with wisdom, compassion, and honesty. Our series aims to spark that global conversation,” Winfrey added.

The series will feature some pretty high-profile guests alongside a wide range of people from across the world living with the challenges of mental health issues and addressing their emotional well-being. Participants in the series include Lady Gaga, Glenn Close, San Antonio Spurs’ (and former Toronto Raptors') DeMar DeRozan, Phoenix Suns’ Langston Galloway, mental health advocate Zak Williams, Olympic boxer Virginia “Ginny” Fuchs, celebrity chef Rashad Armstead and more.

The Me You Can’t See, which was first announced in April 2019, "transcends culture, age, gender and socioeconomic status to destigmatize the highly misunderstood subject of mental health and give hope to viewers who learn that they are not alone."
