Anyone with Apple TV+, which is available on the Apple TV app and on its $4 for $4.99/month, can watch the show when it premieres. The service also offers a seven-day free trial for new subscribers.
The idea behind Harry and Winfrey's series, which was first announced by Kensington Palace in 2019, is to encourage viewers to talk about the challenges and daily struggles that might be troubling them. A team of $4 professionals took part in the making of "The Me You Can't See," Apple's press release said.
"Now more than ever, there is an immediate need to replace the shame surrounding mental
Harry, also in a statement from Apple, spoke about the shared emotions that come with grief and loss.
"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," Harry said in a statement published in the press release.
He continued: "The majority of us carry some form of unresolved trauma, loss or grief, which feels - and is - very personal. 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."
Mental health is a topic that Harry has been vocal about for years.
He's opened up about $4 after his mother, Princess Diana, died when he was just 12 years old.
He championed mental-health initiatives in his time as a working royal, too. Harry has worked with veterans through the Invictus Games Foundation and the Endeavour Fund and campaigned for men and women in the armed forces to get the best mental healthcare. He also partnered with Prince William and Kate Middleton to launch $4, an initiative that aims to help people feel more comfortable in being honest about mental health.
As well as opening up conversations, the new documentary show aims to equip people who normally suffer in silence with the "tools to thrive, rather than to simply survive," according to a press release from Kensington Palace previously obtained by Insider in April 2019.
Harry added in the statement from Kensington Palace that he hopes the series will be "positive, enlightening, and inclusive," by sharing "stories of unparalleled human spirit fighting back from the darkest places," in order to help everyone understand those around them better.
"I am incredibly proud to be working alongside Oprah on this vital series which we have been developing together for several months," he said.
