BREAKING: The View Goes on Indefinite Hiatus — No New Episodes Planned, and It Could Be Permanent!
Fans of ABC’s long-running talk show “The View” will notice a temporary change in their daily routine this week, as the show goes on a short hiatus. While some viewers may be concerned by the sudden absence of new episodes, there’s no need to worry—this break is only temporary, and fresh episodes are set to return soon.

Why “The View” Is On Hiatus
Viewers tuning in this week expecting to see Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, and Alyssa Farah Griffin debating the latest hot topics will instead find reruns. The show is taking a scheduled spring hiatus, coinciding with the holiday season, including Easter. This short break means no new episodes will air from Monday through Friday this week.
Viewer Confusion and Recent Highlights
The hiatus comes after a week of notable moments on the show. Fans were surprised to see Whoopi Goldberg hosting on a Friday—an unusual occurrence, as she typically takes that day off. Meanwhile, panelist Alyssa Farah Griffin drew criticism from some viewers for her comments defending former President Trump’s tariff policies, which some called “inconsistent messaging.”
Despite these controversies and surprises, viewers will have to wait a little longer to see how the hosts respond to the latest headlines.

While new content is paused, ABC will air repeat episodes of “The View” throughout the week. These re-runs feature a variety of celebrity guests and notable discussions from earlier in the season. The first repeat episode features journalist Kara Swisher and entertainer Donny Osmond. Other encore episodes this week will include appearances by:
– Mindy Kaling
– Stephen A. Smith and Karine Jean-Pierre
– Senator Elissa Slotkin and Julian Lennon
– Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Antoni Porowski
These episodes offer fans a chance to revisit some of the season’s most engaging conversations and interviews.
When Does “The View” Return?
The good news for fans is that the break is brief. “The View” is scheduled to return with brand new episodes on Tuesday, April 22 at 11 a.m. EST on ABC. When the show comes back, viewers can expect the return of Joy Behar, who missed the last three episodes due to illness—her absence was the reason for Goldberg’s rare Friday appearance.
The new week will kick off with the panel’s signature “Hot Topics” segment, as well as fresh interviews with celebrities and political figures.
