“The View” Returns for Its 29th Season This September — Still Bringing the Heat

After nearly three decades of lively discussions, heartfelt moments, and headline-making debates, The View is gearing up for its 29th season — and the daytime staple shows no signs of cooling down. The new season premieres September 8, promising “live debates, big laughs, and unforgettable guests,” according to a promotional announcement from ABC.

Since its debut in 1997, The View has redefined daytime television, blending politics, pop culture, and personal perspectives into an unpredictable — and often fiery — mix. Created by broadcast legend Barbara Walters, the show has become a daily destination for millions of viewers seeking unfiltered takes on the issues shaping the nation.

Over the years, the rotating panel of co-hosts — which has featured everyone from Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar to Meghan McCain and Sunny Hostin — has helped the show remain both culturally relevant and conversation-driving. Season 29 is expected to continue that tradition, with timely topics and headline guests set to spark fresh debates.

While ABC has yet to release the official lineup of guests for the premiere week, insiders hint that the new season will kick off with appearances from major political figures and A-list entertainers, coinciding with the ramp-up to the 2026 election cycle.

Fans can also expect expanded live audience participation — a return to form after several years of hybrid tapings. The network’s message to fans is clear: “Request your tickets now to join us in the studio!”

The Enduring Appeal

Even after 29 seasons, The View remains a fixture in daytime television because of its authenticity — and unpredictability. The chemistry (and occasional clashes) between the co-hosts continue to drive viral moments that dominate social media and morning headlines.

As Goldberg remarked during a recent interview, “We don’t always agree, but that’s the point — it’s called The View for a reason.”

How to Get Tickets

Audience tickets for The View’s live tapings at ABC’s New York City studio are available through the show’s official website. Fans eager to witness the spirited exchanges firsthand are encouraged to reserve early, as seats typically fill up quickly once the season begins.
