Actress and television personality Raven-Symoné is returning to ABC’s The View for two special appearances as the daytime talk show celebrates its milestone 30th season. The former co-host will rejoin the Hot Topics table on October 15th and 16th, 2026, reconnecting with familiar faces nearly a decade after leaving the program to pursue additional acting and television projects.
According to PEOPLE, Raven-Symoné will join current panelists Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin for the special episodes. The entertainer previously served as a regular co-host from 2015 to 2016, participating in the show’s signature discussions about entertainment, culture, and current events. Her upcoming appearances are part of a broader anniversary celebration that has also welcomed former co-hosts Star Jones, Debbie Matenopoulos, Lisa Ling, and Sherri Shepherd.
In addition to returning to the television panel, Raven-Symoné will appear alongside her wife, Miranda Maday, on the show’s companion podcast, Behind the Table, hosted by executive producer Brian Teta. The couple also hosts The Best Podcast Ever with Raven and Miranda. Raven-Symoné originally departed The View to develop and star in Raven’s Home, the Disney Channel continuation of That’s So Raven. Her guest appearances also coincide with longtime panelist Joy Behar’s absence while recovering from a dislocated shoulder. The View airs weekdays at 11:00 a.m. ET on ABC.
Raven-Symoné’s return offers longtime viewers a reunion with one of the show’s former personalities while celebrating three decades of conversations, cultural moments, and daytime television history.
