After 30 years, The View is returning for a milestone season next month on ABC with its panel of opinionated women.
On Thursday, the Barbara Walters-created daytime talk show released a promo for its 30th season, kicking off Tuesday, Sept. 8, confirming the return of co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin.
“And if you think you know who will be here for our season premiere week, you’re about to be surprised,” the promo teased.
In recent weeks, former panelist Rosie O’Donnell has commented on the possibility of returning, while Karoline Leavitt was also a rumored option after exiting as Trump’s White House press secretary.
Meanwhile, The View approaches its big 30th season amid ABC’s First Amendment lawsuit against Trump’s FCC, which has launched an investigation into whether the talk show is subject to the agency’s equal time rule, while also calling for an early review of the network’s licenses.
Watch on Deadline
In June, ABC aired spots during The View, urging viewers to file comments with the FCC, as deadlines neared for public input as part of the agency’s proceedings.
“The View has welcomed your favorite guests and covered the issues you care about for nearly 30 years now,” the spot said. “The FCC wants to control who is allowed to appear on the show. Viewers, use your voice.”
