WHOOPI Goldberg has fueled rumors she's QUITTING The View.
She announced a new project that "feels right" after fans have begged her to be fired and return to acting.
Whoopi, 66, has hinted she may leave The View to play - or ‘pray’ - to her strengths.
Whoopi told ET on Tuesday that 30 years after the original film, she is indeed planning to take time to make Sister Act 3.
"It's coming. We gotta shoot it, but it's happening," Whoopi said, then noting the timing couldn't come better.
"It feels right," she added.
"Because we did Sister Act 1 and 2 back-to-back, which is why I think they are really great."
“But now you need some space on it and you need to let [my character] grow up and become an adult which is what's happened."
“We'll see. She was an adult when she started but she's much more of an adult now," Whoopi concluded.
Fans felt the news implied she could exit the talk show to focus on it.
One fan gushed on Twitter after the announcement, “Can’t wait!”
"Who’s excited for Sister Act 3?" wrote a second.
Just last week another wrote amid her shaky TV reception, “Whoopi, is Sister Act 3 coming?”
The actress would return as Sister Mary Clarence, a nun in witness protection who transformed her church choir into a singing sensation.
Whoopi joined the view in 1997, four years after the sequel and five after the original 1992 blockbuster.
Fans have endlessly expressed that after 20 years on the Barbara Walters-founded women's panel show, she should focus on her wheelhouse - live-action comedy acting.
In just the past few weeks as the show's moderator she has forgotten names and projects when announcing them.
Whoopi has also done everything from cut-off Joy Behar mid-conversation, trip over her words, shade famous singer Lizzo, and even messed up her introduction of US Senator Raphael Warnock.
Fan fury reached a fever pitch when the cast filmed in the Bahamas to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
The Sun exclusively went inside the lavish Rosewood resort where she and her co-hosts stayed.
An oceanside six-bedroom villa setting has customers paying about $14,358 a night.
The three-bedroom penthouse suite ranges up to $12,358 a night, while a one-bedroom ocean-view suite costs around $2,577.
Viewers called out the hosts for taking the luxury vacation and "flaunting" it on social media to begin with.
One sarcastically wrote: “How nice. Those who are struggling to put food on their tables and gas in their cars can see a vacation spot firsthand on TV.”
They filmed four episodes there and aired one re-run that week, then they all took a week off before returning to the regular round table.
During that trip, Whoopi made even more mistakes like pronouncing Saturday Night Live's Chloe Fineman's name wrong. and having her cue cards flew in the air due to a gust of wind.
It's unclear when Sister Act 3 will begin filming.
She also just announced an animated movie called Luck which fans said they "couldn't logistically watch" given it's only on Apple+.
