In a statement, Apple TV+ revealed that “The Me You Can’t See” will include “high-profile guests alongside a wide range of people from across the globe living with the challenges of mental health issues,” adding that producers have enlisted “14 accredited and respected experts and organisations from around the world to help shed light on different pathways to treatment.”
In a separate statement upon the announcement of the new series, Prince Harry said, “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.” Per iNews, the Duke added that he hopes the series will “show there is power in vulnerability, connection in empathy, and strength in honesty,” while co-star Winfrey commented, “there is an immediate need to replace the shame surrounding mental health with wisdom, compassion and honesty.”
