NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The View is all set to take over television with the latest season. Show co-host Whoopi Goldberg has already given a taste of what Season 26 of the daytime talk show is going to deliver.

The trailer of the latest season, which is scheduled to air on September 6, gave fans an insight into the major hosting panel shake-up. The trailer, which first premiered on People, revealed a new cast line-up featuring both returning stars and fresh faces.

With the return of Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Sara Haines on the panel, the series announced that the new permanent panel of the show was going to feature two new hosts: Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin — following Meghan McCain's exit in August 2022.

The promo video of the latest season captured Navarro saying, "This show is so unique," as Behar said she was "excited." That’s when Goldberg jumped in to share that even with the trailer and the new hosts, there was still a lot to look out for. "This is actually a family," the 66-year-old actress said while referring to her co-stars as the "gutsiest women on TV."



 

It’ll be all "everyone will be talking about" as everything "happens" on the popular talk show, the clip's caption read.

Fans were tense about the empty spot left behind by McCain's exit. However, they were relieved when it was announced that not only Griffin but Navarro as well would be joining the new panel of the show. Navarro, 50, who first appeared on The View back in 2013 has been regular since 2018. The political commentator and strategist has also appeared on CNN, CNN en Español, ABC News and Telemundo.



 

"When you make the decision to be on TV, you need to know who you are, know what you believe in, and you need to be able to defend it with conviction because you're going to be challenged," she told People. "The only way I know how to be is authentic.



 

Meanwhile, Griffin, 33, who was previously press secretary to former veep Mike Pence and special assistant to former president Donald Trump has appeared on the show as a guest 29 times since October 2021. "My background is pretty unique from other conservative hosts. I worked for one of the most, if not the most, divisive presidents in history. I learned a lot from that. I walked away committed to the feeling in my bones that I want to be part of solutions, not add to the division," she said.
