'The View' is expanding into weekends with 'The Weekend View' streaming series

Fans of television's most popular daytime talk show can soon view more of it on streaming.

"The View" is expanding into weekends with a new streaming series dubbed "The Weekend View," which will air on the ABC News Live streaming platform.

"The Weekend View" will focus on the "biggest stories in entertainment and the buzziest news topping social media feeds," ABC said.

The new show's episodes will be 30 minutes and debut Saturdays before re-airing throughout the weekend. The premiere will be available on Jan. 11 at 7:30 a.m. ET.

The Friday panel of "The View" will host "The Weekend View," with moderator Joy Behar joined by co-hosts Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro. Whoopi Goldberg rarely appears on Fridays.

"The View" executive producer Brian Teta described this as an example of the show "meeting viewers wherever they get their content," which also includes having a presence on YouTube and in podcasting.

"'The Weekend View' will feature more of the 'Hot Topics' our audiences can't get enough of, delivering original content for the weekend with a focus on what's trending," executive broadcast producer Robin Hommel said.

"The Weekend View" will be sponsored by RoC Skincare.

"The View" has aired on ABC since 1997. According to the network, the show has been having its most-watched season on linear television in four years.

In November, ABC said the first episode of "The View" after the presidential election was also the show's most-watched telecast in over a decade, drawing over 4.4 million viewers. During the broadcast, Hostin said she was "profoundly disturbed" by President-elect Donald Trump's victory, while Goldberg reiterated her refusal to say his name.

"(Vice President Kamala Harris) did this in two months," Goldberg said. "Everybody can always say she should have done this, she should have done this. She was everywhere, she talked to everybody and people didn't come out. I don't know why and it doesn't even matter. He's now going to be president. And I'm still not going to say his name."

"The View" airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
