Social media rumors have audiences wondering if ABC canceled « The View » for 2025. This daily show, airing at 11 a.m. ET, is distinguished by its all-women panel.

« The View », created by journalist Barbara Walters, is now in its 27th season. Featuring personalities such as Joy Behar, Ana Navarro, Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin, the show regularly captures attention with its interviews and takes on current social and political events.

Origins of the Cancellation Rumors

Viral social media posts claim ABC decided not to renew the show for 2025, citing a drop in viewership and non-renewal of contracts for iconic figures like Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar. However, ABC has not yet officially confirmed these cancellation claims.

Responses to Speculations

Despite recurring rumors of the show’s decline, a spokesperson recently reaffirmed in March 2024 that « The View » remains the most-watched among American daytime talk shows. Additionally, in 2024, the show recorded particularly high viewership figures, topping the daytime talk shows and news programs for the weeks of February 26 and March 4.

Impact of Political and Cultural Events

The increase in viewership was attributed by Executive Producer Brian Teta to the presence of culturally relevant stars such as Robert Downey Jr., as well as political figures like Liz Cheney, Chris Christie, and Vice President Kamala Harris. The 2024 presidential election year and unprecedented current events are expected to continue to boost interest in « The View ».

Looking ahead to 2025, it is likely that this upward trend will continue, especially as this year’s political events further unfold.

Moreover, the divided political climate in the United States could further fuel cancellation rumors, as has been the case for other shows. Nonetheless, as long as « The View » continues to perform well, it seems unlikely that ABC will drop the show from its 2025 lineup.
