New year, more The View!

According to an ABC press release issued on Wednesday (Jan. 8), the daytime talk show’s Friday panel — which consists of moderator Joy Behar and co-hosts Alyssa Farah Griffin, Sunny Hostin, Ana Navarro, and Sara Haines — will host a 30-minute weekend program, appropriately titled The Weekend View. Whoopi Goldberg will spend the weekend relaxing, we can only assume.

The new show, which like its predecessor “will focus on the biggest stories in entertainment and the buzziest news topping social media feeds,” launches this Saturday (Jan. 11) at 7:30 a.m. ET on the network’s 24/7 streaming platform, ABC News Live. The show will also re-air over the course of the weekend.

The Weekend View, which is produced by The View, is executive produced by EP Brian Teta, while Robin Hommel will serve as executive broadcast producer and Sarah de la O will direct. The show is exclusively sponsored by RoC Skincare, marking the streamer’s first program to have an integrated brand sponsorship.

“With all-new ‘Hot Topics,’ the co-hosts will give their one-of-a-kind takes with their signature candor and humor,” the release shares. “Plus, The Weekend View will include Behind The Table segments with executive producer Brian Teta and the co-hosts as they dive deeper into pop-culture stories from the week.”

The extended “Hot Topics” segment will be filmed during the week at some point after The View‘s normal weekday broadcast is taped, per Variety.

According to the outlet, Karin Gilford, senior vice president of Digital Media, ABC News Group and Disney Entertainment Networks, said that The Weekend View‘s content will not be as centered on politics, noting that they are “following what [they’ve] seen be successful on ABC News Live on the weekends” and that “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,” she continued, in part. “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.”
