Saying goodbye is never easy, especially when it comes to a place where so many unforgettable moments have unfolded. The cast of The View knows this all too well. As the curtain closes on season 27, the show is gearing up for a major change that has fans buzzing. But don’t worry, it’s not what you might think.
During a heartfelt announcement on August 2, Sunny Hostin revealed, “After 10 years and 2,143 episodes, this is the last show we’ll do from this studio.” That’s right, folks, The View is packing up and heading downtown to a brand-new, state-of-the-art studio.

A New Chapter Awaits
Sunny continued, “We’re sad to say goodbye, but we are thrilled to be moving to a brand-new studio downtown—brand-new, state-of-the-art—and we will see you there in September for the premiere of season 28!” This isn’t just a move; it’s a transition into a new era for the show, one that promises to bring even more excitement and energy to the screen.
From ABC Television Studio 23 to the ABC Broadcast Center
For the first 17 years, The View called ABC Television Studio 23 in New York City home. In 2014, the show relocated to the ABC Broadcast Center. Now, after a decade, it’s time to shake things up and embrace a new environment. Fans have been speculating about a big announcement for the upcoming season, and this move certainly qualifies as a major update.
Sunny, 55, took the opportunity to share some behind-the-scenes details about the move. “We’ve had to, for the past couple of weeks, box up things, get rid of things… We were allotted, each host, five huge cartons. I took up two, Sara [Haines] took up all five and was looking for more!” she joked. It’s moments like these that remind us how much personality and humor the cast brings to the table.
Ana Navarro: The Queen of Shoes
“And Ana [Navarro], please don’t say that you were a purger, because I think you had over 50 pairs of shoes in your [dressing] room,” Sunny teased. Ana, 52, playfully responded, “I’m feeling attacked! They are all my shoes, I love all my shoes! I have no children, my children are my shoes. I’m a childless shoe lady!” It’s this kind of camaraderie and banter that makes The View such a beloved show.

The show’s official Instagram page also shared the news, posting, “Get ready for a new ‘View’ as we end this chapter after 10 years in our studio on New York City’s Upper West Side! ✨ See you in September from our new, state-of-the-art studio in downtown Manhattan when we kick off season 28! Here’s a look behind the scenes of our photo shoot for this past season in studio TV1.” The post included some candid pictures of the hosts, giving fans a sneak peek into their world.
A Legacy of Memories
The old studio has been the backdrop for countless memorable moments, from groundbreaking celebrity interviews to heartfelt confessions from the hosts themselves. It’s a place where laughter, tears, and everything in between have unfolded. But as they say, every ending is a new beginning, and The View is ready to create even more unforgettable memories in their new space.
In April, the cast and crew faced an unexpected challenge when they had to evacuate the building due to a fire next door, where The Tamron Hall Show is filmed. Thanks to the quick response of the firefighters, everyone was safe, and the show went on. Alyssa Farah Griffin joked about her priorities during the incident, saying, “Once I saw all the hosts were fine, I was like, ‘Where’s my glam team?’ Like, leave [executive producer Brian Teta], but as long as hair and makeup is safe.’” It’s moments like these that remind us how much the cast values their team and each other.
As season 27 wraps up, The View will return to ABC with season 28 on September 3 at 11 a.m. ET. Get ready for a fresh start, new energy, and all the drama, laughter, and insight that The View is known for. It’s going to be a season you won’t want to miss!
