The ABC daytime panel show The View is shaking things up for its forthcoming 28th season, which will debut next Tuesday, Sept. 3.
The program, hosted by Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro, is leaving its longtime home on the Upper West Side to move to a new studio at Disney’s (almost finished) new New York headquarters in the Hudson Square neighborhood. And, fittingly, given the imminent U.S. presidential election, there will be plenty of high-profile political figures represented in its first few weeks back on TV, alongside other notable guests.
Among the guests in the first two weeks are Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, as well as athletes Katie Ledecky and Venus Williams, actors Kathryn Hahn and Joe Locke, and Lauren Sanchez, who is releasing a new book The Fly Who Flew to Space.
The show is also making a significant change to its Behind the Table podcast, which is hosted by The View’s executive producer Brian Teta (this season will be his 10th leading the program). In addition to being available on all podcast platforms, ABC says that for the first time the podcast series will also be available on YouTube. Behind the Table sees Teta and the cast reacting to the show, and discussing their lives in a more casual setting.
“We are excited to get back to the table to dive into the topics that our viewers really care about,” says Teta. “The breakneck pace of the news cycle fuels our co-hosts’ opinions, resulting in some pretty incredible conversations. The show really thrives during presidential election season, and with our move to our new downtown studio for season 28, just two months before Election Day, I think the best is yet to come.”
The View is coming off a strong season, with a three-year high in total viewers, and marking its fourth-straight year as the most watched daytime talk show. ABC says that it is watched in more households than any other talk show in America, including late night.
The new studio at 7 Hudson Square will open as Disney prepares to move its New York workforce from its longtime home on West 66th Street on the Upper West Side to the new site downtown, with plans to sell its uptown real estate.
Construction was completed on the new headquarters earlier this month, with The View set to be among the flagship programs to originate from the new campus.
