Oprah and Prince Harry are making a mental health documentary series for Apple

Entertainment royalty and literal British royalty have come together to make television for Apple.

That's right, Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry teamed up to create a multi-part documentary series focused on mental health for Apple TV+, the company's new streaming service.

According to a post from Harry's Duke of Sussex Instagram account, the project "will focus on both mental illness and mental wellness" and aims to inspire viewers "to have an honest conversation about the challenges each of us faces, and how to equip ourselves with the tools to not simply survive, but to thrive."

The series will reportedly build on Prince Harry's continual efforts to raise awareness on the importance of discussing mental health. In addition to sharing his own personal experiences over the years, he's worked with various organizations and co-launched Heads Together in 2017 — a campaign that aims to fundraise mental health services and end the stigma associated with openly discussing mental health.

"I truly believe that good mental health — mental fitness — is the key to powerful leadership, productive communities and a purpose-driven self. It is a huge responsibility to get this right as we bring you the facts, the science and the awareness of a subject that is so relevant during these times," Prince Harry was quoted in the Instagram post.

"Our hope is that this series will be positive, enlightening and inclusive — sharing global stories of unparalleled human spirit fighting back from the darkest places, and the opportunity for us to understand ourselves and those around us better. I am incredibly proud to be working alongside Oprah on this vital series."

Oprah also commented on the post, writing, "Delighted to be partnering with you. Hope we shed a lot of Light. And change some lives!"

Though we have yet to learn a specific date, the series is set to launch at some point in 2020. Looks like Apple has a pretty stacked lineup of shows in store for us.
