Let the show begin. ABC finally unveiled the first official photo Friday of the new hosts of "The View."

Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie O'Donnell, Rosie Perez and Nicolle Wallace are all hugs and smiles as they pose alongside one another during a promotional shoot. The new faces for season 18 will join Goldberg, who is the only returning host from season 17.

"I am beyond thrilled, honored and completely surprised that I've been asked to join The View," Perez told Us Weekly in a statement after being announced as a co-host. "Knowing that I'll be in the company of Whoopi, Rosie and Nicolle, three very smart and engaging women that I have an immense amount of respect for, makes it even more unbelievable."

ABC also Tweeted a back shot of the new cast on Thursday with the caption, "The View's back! Here's your first official look at the new cast. #TheView."

"These are powerful and accomplished women from different walks of life who have had amazing personal and professional experiences," Bill Wolff, executive producer, said in a statement. "Each brings incredible perspective and information to the table. This mix of smart, vibrant and energetic women is unlike anything else on daytime television."

The new promo comes weeks after and Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd filmed their last episode on the morning daytime series. Show creator Barbara Walters also stepped down during season 17 of the show.

The show will now be taped at ABC Broadcast Center on 67th Street near Central Park in New York.

"The View" returns Sept. 15 at 11 a.m. on ABC.
