Haines is teaming up with Michael Strahan to co-host a new show called GMA Day.

ABC announced the news on Monday.

The co-hosts also spread the word by sharing a promotional video via Twitter and Instagram.

"Ahhhhhhhh!! Not even sure I can find the words to adequately express how excited I am to sit next to @michaelstrahan as we embark on this new journey at @GMA #GMADay...it is (and has been) a dream of mine for a LONG time," Haines wrote on Instagram. "It's bittersweet though as I leave @theviewabc, a place I have called home for the past couple years. A huge thank you to all the viewers and fans who have followed me along the way. I LOVE my View family, but don't worry, my brand new *view* is literally down the street."

The new show premieres Sept. 10 and will take place during the third hour of GMA.

The news comes just a few days after rumors started spreading about Haines' View departure.

The news comes three days after the network said Haines' co-star Paula Faris, 42, will depart the show as well as GMA's weekend edition while continuing to work for ABC News.

Haines, 40, began guest co-hosting The View in 2014 and was made a regular member of the panel in 2016. That year, she left her job as a pop news anchor of GMA's weekend edition. The TV personality joined ABC News in 2013 as a correspondent.

The View has undergone many cast shakeups since its debut in 1997.

The show also made headlines this week with an on-air confrontation between veteran co-host Whoopi Goldberg and guest and Fox News personality Jeanine Pirro
