— -- "The View" panel is complete, once again.

"Rosie Perez and Nicolle Wallace are the new co-hosts of 'The View' joining moderator Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie O’Donnell," ABC said in a statement.

After last year's retirement of Barbara Walters, coupled with the departures of Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd, the panel had some vacant seats.

The new season will start Sept. 15.

“I am beyond thrilled, honored and completely surprised that I've been asked to join ‘The View,’” Perez said. “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. The opportunity to connect with our nation's audience on a daily basis... icing on the cake! Very happy.”

You know Perez, 49, from such hit movies as "White Men Can't Jump" and "Pineapple Express," while Wallace, 42, is an author and political analyst. O'Donnell, who was on the show previously from 2006 to 2007, announced her return last month.

"It's official! ABC confirms Rosie O'Donnell returns as co-host of #TheView w/ moderator Whoopi Goldberg for Season 18," the show tweeted July 10.
