Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin are all returning to “The View” for Season 30.
The co-hosts were confirmed in the ABC show’s promo Thursday.
“If you think you know who will be here for our season premiere week, you’re about to be surprised,” the teaser promised.
Behar, whose tenure on the show has spanned more than 25 years, quipped that she “feel[s] like [she’s] been on since her prom.”
A subsequent Instagram post highlighting the six women gushed, “‘Your favorite women of daytime are back for season 30! The celebration kicks off Tuesday, Sept. 8 on ABC.”
Since the 29th season of “The View” ended in July, there have been rumors of a cast shakeup.

The Daily Mail reported that President Trump’s former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was in talks to join the cast, which CNN debunked.
The outlet, instead, claimed the network had only invited Leavitt, 29, to be a guest.
Former co-host Rosie O’Donnell, additionally, sparked chatter by declaring on a recent “Tangle With Kyle Ridley” podcast episode that she would take part in the 30th anniversary special.
“They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think,” the actress, 64, said, clarifying she would take part “in whatever way” they wanted her “as a guest.”
However, a spokesperson told Page Six “nothing” had been “formalized” in that regard.
O’Donnell’s comments kicked off an alumni meltdown over invites, with former co-host Michelle Collins railing against not receiving an invite via Instagram.
Sources told us that while past hosts are being invited back for the anniversary, “pain in the ass” Meghan McCain has not been asked to take part.
Goldberg, the show’s moderator, gave rare insight into her hefty paycheck during the Aug. 4 episode of the “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” podcast.
“You would be shocked,” Goldberg, 70, said without sharing her exact “View” salary.
