The View Will Broadcast a Week of Shows From Rome in May 2027
ABC's daytime talk show The View will broadcast a full week of episodes from Rome, Italy, in May 2027. Host Whoopi Goldberg made the announcement on Thursday's episode, according to Deadline.
The trip is part of the programme's 30th season celebration. Goldberg made the news during a birthday segment, and her birthday, 13 November, falls on a Friday this year. She is one of the show's longest-serving hosts, so the trip marks a milestone for the programme as well as for her.
Rome will be a familiar city to Goldberg, at least on screen. In 2025 she stepped away from the show for a stint in Italy, appearing in Un Posto al Sole, a long-running soap opera on Italian public broadcaster Rai 3. She played Eleanor Price, an American businesswoman who travels to Naples, a port city on Italy's southern coast, to order a yacht built. Deadline reported the details of that role.
For viewers at home, the show's regular schedule stays the same for now. The View airs on weekdays at 11 a.m. Eastern and 10 a.m. Central, according to ABC's listing. Full episodes can be watched on ABC's website and streamed on Hulu.
No dates for individual broadcasts from Rome have been given beyond the May 2027 window. Nor has ABC said which guests or segments will be part of the week. Those details are likely to come out closer to the trip.
What this means for the people who make the show is a question of logistics. A week of live episodes away from the studio in New York means moving a full team, cameras and equipment across the Atlantic. Fans who follow the programme will have a clear date to mark on their calendars, and a few more months of anticipation before the first episode from Italy goes out.
