Raven-Symone is saying goodbye to The View after two seasons to focus on a new project that will surely having fans jumping for joy.

On Thursday’s episode of The View, the actress and talk show host announced her departure and dropped some major news. “I’m excited and sad, but mostly excited. I have an announcement to make: No, I’m not pregnant,” she joked before announcing that she’d be leaving the show to work with Disney on a follow-up to That’s So Raven.

“There’s no title yet, but I’m calling it That’s So Raven 2. It’s Raven Baxter. It’s still me. But I am a mother this time. I’m going to be a single mother raising two kids, and one of them learns that she has visions.”
