Season 29 Finale and Summer Hiatus

The ABC daytime talk show The View concluded its 29th season with a pre-taped episode on July 24 that featured actress Molly Ringwald and a performance by the cast of *The Lost Boys* on Broadway. Following the finale, the series entered its customary summer break, opting to air repeats rather than new live episodes. The hiatus will extend until after Labor Day, with the program slated to resume new broadcasts in the week of Sept. 8, 2026.

Re-run Schedule Through End of July

During the break, the show’s website lists a series of repeat episodes:

  • July 27 – a re-run of the Kate Hudson, Justin Theroux and Nikki Glaser episode.
  • July 28 – a repeat featuring former presidential counselor Alina Habba and Scrabble host Craig Ferguson.
  • July 29 – a March 2026 repeat with *Scrubs* actor Zach Braff and former *Good Morning America* anchor Joan Lunden.
  • July 30 – a repeat starring author Christina Applegate and actress Yvette Nicole Brown.
  • July 31 – a March 2026 repeat with actor Daniel Radcliffe.

The article notes that the re-run lineup for the remainder of the summer hiatus has not yet been announced.

Co-hosts’ Social-Media Updates

While the panel is off-air, co-hosts have shared personal updates. On July 28, Whoopi Goldberg posted a video from Italy, and Ana Navarro uploaded a carousel of vacation photos and videos, both indicating they are enjoying time away from the set.

When Live Episodes Are Expected to Return

According to the network’s schedule, The View will continue airing repeats until the week of Sept. 8, 2026, after which live episodes are expected to resume. No further details about the post-Labor Day lineup have been released.
