As America enters the July 4th holiday stretch, The View is embracing its annual summer hiatus, with reruns running from June 30 to July 4, and fresh episodes scheduled to air again on Monday, July 7, 2025. It’s a familiar ritual for the daytime institution, a trusted pause to recharge before diving back into the cultural and political fray.

This break arrives at a moment of transformation for the show, which recently made waves with moderator Whoopi Goldberg’s two-week absence. Goldberg traveled to Italy to accept an award tied to her memoir, Bits and Pieces, and also landed a recurring role in a regional Italian soap opera. In her stead, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, and Alyssa Farah Griffin have kept the conversation lively at the Hot Topics table.

During the rerun week, viewers can expect encore episodes highlighting memorable celebrity interviews. Airing June 30, the lineup features chatter with Hugh Jackman, Olivia Munn, Amanda Peet, Kit Connor, Laurence Fishburne, Geri Halliwell, and Marsai Martin. These pre-taped highlights offer a curated journey through past moments of insight, warmth, laughter, and the occasional Full Goldberg Collapse™ the term coined by viewers to describe Goldberg’s animated or overwhelmed reactions, such as when discussing Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, or the fallout of Trump-era politics.

Though reruns dominate the early week, anticipation builds as the current panel prepares to resume live broadcasts on July 7. Fans can look forward to the full group, Goldberg, Behar, Hostin, Haines, Navarro, and Griffin reuniting for real-time conversations on today’s headlines, airing at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.

This scheduled break also follows a season filled with development. Alongside adapting to Goldberg’s recent Italian commitment, The View recently relocated to a new studio in downtown Manhattan and expanded its reach with Weekend View, an Amazon-anchored edition of the show streaming Saturday mornings on ABC News Live. Politically charged exchanges have punctuated the season, especially in the shadow of Kamala Harris’ election loss in late 2024, leading to heated debate and passionate moments at the Hot Topics table.

Reflecting the show’s evolving tone, recent episodes featured surprising episodes like Joy Behar locking lips with Sarah Silverman on air, Sara Haines repeatedly describing her dad as “hot,” and Alyssa Farah Griffin accidentally flashing her underwear in a backstage encounter with Jude Law. These cultural flashpoints underscore The View’s hybrid blend of the serious and the spontaneous, a show unafraid to juggle politics with pop culture on any given day.

Looking ahead to the post-hiatus reprise, viewers should expect robust discussions surrounding national headlines including Supreme Court decisions, shifting economic indicators, and the ongoing ramifications of political developments. With election season around the corner, guests may include prominent government officials and public figures, consistent with the show’s recent history of high-profile interviews with President Biden, President Clinton, Vice President Harris, and others.

As The View goes on its annual holiday pause, it offers both its panel and its audience a brief moment of rest. Come July 7, the debate returns in full force. Whether viewers missed live conversation or came late to The View’s evolving landscape, reruns provide a timely refresher. And when the red-hot live broadcast resumes, it will deliver the blend of earnest discourse, entertainment, and that trademark Full Goldberg energy that has secured its place in daytime television.
