The View’s on the move into a new big season on ABC,” says a promo for the show’s new season. “And get this, moving into a fabulous new home and studio too.”

Goldberg appears and says, “Y’all know we’re moving, right?”

The co-hosts start appearing with moving boxes, and Hostin says, “We’re moving downtown to the hottest new studio to match our hot topics.”

Navarro appears in the preview carrying a box with her dog Cha-Cha inside.
