The View is on hiatus: when new live episodes could air
New live episodes of The View are not airing right now because ABC’s daytime talk show is on a post-finale hiatus after Season 29 wrapped July 24. Encore broadcasts are filling the weekday slot, and according to ABC, fresh episodes will likely return after Labor Day weekend in September.
Key Takeaways
- The View ended Season 29 on July 24 with a pre-taped finale featuring Molly Ringwald and the cast of Broadway’s The Lost Boys.
- ABC is airing encore episodes in place of live shows through the summer break.
- New episodes are expected after Labor Day weekend in September, though an exact Season 30 premiere date has not been announced.
- No cohost lineup changes have been announced for Season 30.
- Hosts including Whoopi Goldberg and Ana Navarro have been sharing vacation moments during the break.
When will new episodes of The View air?
If you’re wondering when The View comes back live, the short answer is: not for a couple more weeks, and likely not until after Labor Day.
According to USA Today, ABC says the program will continue airing encore broadcasts until then. TV Insider similarly reports that Season 30 is expected later this year, likely in September, without confirming a firm premiere date.
The show’s ticketing site, 1iota, has also signaled that new live-audience signup dates will be announced “soon,” another sign that a fall return is on the calendar rather than an immediate restart.

Why isn’t The View live right now?
The View isn’t live this week—and won’t be for a couple more weeks—because it is on an official hiatus after the Season 29 finale.
That finale aired July 24 as a pre-taped episode. Since then, ABC has replaced live shows with reruns. USA Today notes it is not unusual for programs to take breaks between seasons, citing Saturday Night Live’s long summer gap as a familiar example.
USA Today also reports that cohosts have been making the most of the break. Whoopi Goldberg shared a clip from an art show in Capri, Italy, while Ana Navarro posted vacation photos and videos with loved ones after wrapping Season 29.
What encore episodes are airing this week?
ABC’s press schedule for July 27–31 lists encore broadcasts (subject to change), including:
- Monday, July 27: Kate Hudson, Justin Theroux, and Nikki Glaser (originally aired April 23)
- Tuesday, July 28: Alina Habba and Craig Ferguson (April 29)
- Wednesday, July 29: Elisabeth Hasselbeck guest co-hosts, with Zach Braff and Joan Lunden (March 3)
- Thursday, July 30: Hasselbeck again, with Christina Applegate and Yvette Nicole Brown (March 4)
- Friday, July 31: Hasselbeck with Daniel Radcliffe (March 5)
Weekend View programming over July 25–26 highlighted topics including Ariana Grande lyric chatter, Tom Brady speculation, Matt Damon, and Lenny Kravitz.
Are there cast changes coming for Season 30?
Not that have been announced. TV Insider reports the full-time cohost lineup still includes moderator Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin, with Brian Teta as executive producer.
Until ABC posts a firm Season 30 premiere date, expect more encore broadcasts of The View on weekdays while fans wait for the live roundtable to return after Labor Day.
