The View maintains a winning lineup for its 27th season.
The ABC panel talk show, which topped the daytime ratings in the 2022-2023 season, will not make any personnel changes to the panel, which is moderated by Whoopi Goldberg, 67, Variety reported Tuesday.
Goldberg, Joy Behar, 80; Sunny Hostin, 54; Ana Navarro, 51; Sarah Haines, 45; and Alyssa Farah Griffin, 34, are all returning for the upcoming fall TV season.
The talk show shows a strong showing in the previous season as it topped the daytime talk show households and total viewership for the third season in a row.
The series, which first aired in 1997, averaged 2.375 million total viewers over the season, Nielsen reported.

In third place came the third hour of the Today show on NBC with a total of 2.054 million viewers), while Dr. Phil, which is in syndication, placed fourth with a total of 1.789 million viewers.
Other notable shows in the ratings include Today With Hoda and Jenna on NBC, GMA3 on ABC, The Talk on CBS, and the syndicated shows The Drew Barrymore Show and The Kelly Clarkson Show.
The View’s ratings also surpassed all major late night shows, with the exception of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
According to the outlet, the numbers were higher than late-night staples like The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Late Night With Seth Meyers, and The Late Late Show.
The show’s executive producer Brian Teta said in a statement to Variety, “I’m really proud that The View has this moment 26 years to go.”
He said of the show’s late creators, “The show is more relevant than ever and it’s a credit to visionaries Barbara Walters and Bill Geddie and the concept they created.”
Teta commented that “audiences have changed dramatically since the show’s inception in 1997,” but the show has been able to reflect what’s going on in society all along.

“You have to be ‘can’t miss television’ to break through, and The View is always at its best when it reflects the conversations our viewers are having at home,” Teta said.
Teta said “this combination of co-hosts is very special,” as they keep things light-hearted in the midst of sometimes heavy topics.
“They have fun at the table, but they also talk about important issues, respond to the latest news in real time and have difficult conversations,” Teta said. “They have great chemistry and everyone in our audience can find a perspective to connect with.”
Teta said he was “very excited about what’s to come” as the country is “heading into a cycle of presidential elections,” a time when the series is “at its strongest historically.”
The show’s lack of changes comes after a year in which the show added Griffin, a former staffer of former President Donald Trump; and promoted Navarro to co-host.
The show’s fall season kicks off Sept. 5 on ABC.
