Take a little time to enjoy The View — on the weekends.
ABC announced on Wednesday, January 8, that America’s most-watched daytime network talk show will expand into weekends with a new streaming series titled The Weekend View.
Premiering on Saturday, January 11, the 30-minute show will be hosted by the talk show’s Friday panel including moderator Joy Behar and cohosts Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro.
Whoopi Goldberg will continue moderating “Hot Topics” on The View Mondays through Thursdays.
According to ABC, The Weekend View will focus on the biggest stories in entertainment and the buzziest news topping social media feeds.
With all-new “Hot Topics” not explored during the week, the ladies promise to share their unique takes on a variety of topics with their own candor and humor.
“In addition to having its most-watched linear season in four years, The View is finding success meeting viewers wherever they get their content,” executive producer Brian Teta said in a statement. “From podcasts to YouTube, and now with new exclusive streaming content for the weekend on ABC News Live.”
While The View has found success in the ratings by discussing politics, The Weekend View is expected to take on a lighter approach with its topics.
“We’re following what we’ve seen be successful on ABC News Live on the weekends,” Karin Gilford, senior vice president of Digital Media, ABC News Group and Disney Entertainment Networks, told Variety in an interview published January 8. “On Saturdays and Sundays, it’s sort of the more a lighter feel. They’re still covering all the stories of the week, but in a little bit of a different tone. So it’ll be the same show format. We’ll cover the hot topics, but it will lean a little bit more into pop culture on the weekends.”
Fans of The View will likely get to see the cohosts discuss their favorite celebrities.
