The previous 26th season of The View was an especially great one for the series, which brought in an average of 2.375 million viewers per episode, the top number of all daytime talk shows and news shows. Variety also pointed out that this is the third year in a row the title has maintained its No. 1 position.
Here's what we can expect from the upcoming season of The View.
Is The View coming back in September?
Yes! ABC confirms that the talk show will be back in September 2023.
Executive producer Brian Teta told Variety that the 26th season of the show was one of its most successful yet. "I’m really proud that The View is having this moment 26 years into its run," he said. "The show is more relevant than ever and it’s a credit to visionaries Barbara Walters and Bill Geddie and the concept they created."
"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."
