‘The View’ Confirms Season 30 Cast in Season-Opening Promo, Sets Sept. 8 Return on ABC
Barbara Walters-created daytime talk show will begin its 30th season next month with its returning panel, after releasing a new promotional teaser Thursday.
ABC’s daytime talk show The View, created by Barbara Walters, confirmed its Season 30 cast in a new promo released Thursday, setting the stage for a milestone return next month. The program’s 30th season is scheduled to kick off Tuesday, Sept. 8, on ABC, according to Deadline’s report on the promo.
The network’s announcement indicates a full return of the show’s familiar panel of co-hosts for its 30th year on daytime television. The promo confirms Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Ana Navarro, and Sunny Hostin as the returning on-air team for the new season.
Deadline said the promotional spot also teases a “big premiere surprise” tied to the season’s opening episode. The nature of that surprise was not detailed in the report, beyond being positioned as a featured element of the season premiere.
The View’s Season 30 return comes as the long-running talk format continues to draw attention for its combination of live conversation, news-adjacent commentary, and audience familiarity. For viewers, the cast confirmation and premiere timing provide a clear marker for when the daily routine resumes for the fall TV season.
The show’s milestone season is framed as a significant anniversary year after three decades on air, with the promo serving as the primary public confirmation of which co-hosts will be present at the start of the new run. The cast roster and premiere date can also affect how advertisers and partners plan around the start of the fall programming cycle.
As of Thursday’s promo and Deadline’s coverage, ABC has not specified additional details about how the premiere surprise will be executed on Sept. 8, or whether it will involve guests, segments, or changes to the show’s format. The next concrete step for the public is the season premiere itself.
The View’s return on Sept. 8 will mark the first episode of its 30th season, with the confirmed co-host lineup appearing as the program begins another year in the long-established daytime slot.
