Whoopi Goldberg Takes One-Week Break From The View to Film Italian Soap 'Un Posto Al Sole'

The longtime moderator is in Naples shooting a multi-episode role that is slated to air in 2026.

Overview

  • Goldberg confirmed on Instagram that she will be off The View this week because she is working in Italy.
  • Producer Brian Teta noted on The View’s Behind the Table podcast that she would be away to appear on the Italian series, and Goldberg emphasized she is part of the show rather than its star.
  • On Monday’s episode, her cohosts shared a video of Goldberg in a makeup chair in Naples as Joy Behar filled her seat at the table.
  • Sunny Hostin said Goldberg’s character is an American translator who moves into the show’s apartment complex and will appear across multiple episodes.
  • Fremantle Italia previously announced her storyline for Un Posto Al Sole will debut next year, and Goldberg said the short hiatus reflects her desire to take on projects beyond the daytime show.
