NEW YORK (AP) - Actress Raven-Symone is the latest host to leave the daytime chatfest "The View."

She announced on the show Thursday that she'll be gone before the end of the year. She's producing and starring in a remake of the sitcom "That's So Raven" for The Disney Channel, where she said her character will now be a single mom of two children, one of whom has "visions."

The original "That's So Raven" debuted in 2003 and ended its run in 2006 after 100 episodes, making it Disney Channel’s first live-action sitcom to reach that episodic high mark. It was seen on Disney Channels around the world, translated into French, Spanish, Hindi, Japanese, German, Italian and Portuguese among other languages.

The sitcom was a cable industry leader among Tweens for years.

"The View" audience can be forgiven for not getting too attached: Raven-Symone has been on the show since June 2015 and with her Hollywood obligations, has been appearing as little as once a week.

She said that she's had a great time on "The View," and leaped from her seat to pay tribute to the camera operators.

Disney has not released a timeline for the debut of the "That's So Raven" spinoff.
