To celebrate The View Season 25 milestone, production has incredible surprises for viewers all season long. The show will be inviting former co-hosts on Flashback Fridays to join the panel and debate. Following Meghan McCain’s exit, the show will be trying out potential co-hosts to fill in the empty seat. The ABC talk show will also feature celebrity guests to talk about their latest projects. Entertainment Weekly got the list of all the stars scheduled for the first two weeks of the season.

Who is joining ‘The View’ as guests?

On Wednesday, Sept. 8, former Utah congresswoman Mia Love will sit in as a guest co-host. Steve Martin and Martin Short will be the celebrity guests of the day to talk about their Hulu series Only Murders in the Building.

Former congresswoman Love will continue her stint as a guest co-host on Thursday, Sept. 9, and Simu Liu from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will join the panel as a guest.

However, ABC did confirm that Navarro was going to continue to make appearances throughout the season.

In the same press release, the names of the guest co-hosts confirmed for the show included a long list of names. Other celebrities coming in to try out for the show included Southern Charm alum Cameran Eubanks, Condoleezza Rice, S.E. Cupp, Carly Fiorina, Eboni K. Williams, Alyssa Farah, and Gretchen Carlson.
