*Season 27 of “The View” will kick off in September with all of the show’s current hosts: Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro, according to executive producer Brian Teta.
“The show is more relevant than ever and it’s a credit to visionaries Barbara Walters and Bill Geddie and the concept they created,” Teta said in a statement to Variety.
“Television audiences have changed drastically since the show began in 1997,” he continued. “You have to be ‘can’t miss television’ to break through, and The View is always at its best when it’s a reflection of the conversations our viewers are having at home.”
As Variety reports, the previous 26th season of “The View” brought in an average of 2.375 million viewers per episode, marking the third year in a row the daytime talker has maintained its No. 1 position.
“I’m really proud that The View is having this moment 26 years into its run,” Teta said.
Teta also noted that the current “combination of co-hosts is very special,” he said.
“They are having fun at the table, but they also are talking about important issues, reacting to breaking news in real time and having tough conversations,” Teta continued. “They have terrific chemistry, and everyone in our audience can find a perspective to connect with. Now we are heading into a presidential election cycle, when The View is historically at its strongest, and I’m very excited for what’s to come in Season 27.”
The new season of “The View” will air on Sept. 5 at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
