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

The pair’s show, which will help “lift the veil on the current state of mental health and emotional well-being,” will premiere on May 21 on Apple TV+.

“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 shared in a press release.

“The majority of us carry some form of unresolved trauma, loss, or grief, which feels — and is — very personal,” he continued. “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.”

Winfrey added, “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.”
