Actress, dancer and author Rosie Perez is joining ABC's daytime talk show, "The View," making her the first Latina on the panel.

Republican political consultant Nicolle Wallace will also be joining the show.

ABC said that the two will accompany Rosie O'Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg, the only co-host remaining from last season, on the show for the new season, which begins September 15. Additionally, the show is getting a further makeover with a new set, logo and executive producer.

"I am beyond thrilled, honored and completely surprised that I've been asked to join ‘The View’," Perez said in a statement. "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."

Perez is best known for her roles in “Do the Right Thing,” “White Men Can't Jump,” and “Fearless.” Perez also wrote a memoir in 2014 titled “Handbook for an Unpredictable Life: How I Survived Sister Renata and My Crazy Mother, and Still Came Out Smiling (with Great Hair).”

Wallace is an author and political analyst for MSNBC. She was the communications chief for George W. Bush. She was also an advisor for the McCain-Palin campaign in 2008. Wallace authored the New York Times bestseller “Eighteen Acres” and “It’s Classified.”
