T’s yet another departure coming to “The View”: Raven-Symoné will leave the ABC daytime talker later this year to develop a Disney Channel spinoff of her onetime popular series “That’s So Raven.”
Raven-Symoné announced her exit as a cohost on Thursday’s episode of “The View.”.
In the pilot for the spinoff, viewers catch up with Raven, who is now a divorced mother to two pre-teen kids, one of whom has inherited her psychic powers.
Recent midnight repeats of the original series on Disney Channel still deliver an average of 1.057 million total viewers, according to the channel.
“Raven’s brilliant style of fearless comedy was a driving force for Disney Channel’s success around the world,” Adam Bonnett, executive vice president for original programming for Disney Channels Worldwide, said in a statement.
T had been speculation this past summer that Raven-Symoné would be leaving “The View” to focus on her acting career.
