 - Deprecated :meth:`.DataFrameGroupBy.fillna` and :meth:`.SeriesGroupBy.fillna`; use :meth:`.DataFrameGroupBy.ffill`, :meth:`.DataFrameGroupBy.bfill` for forward and backward filling or :meth:`.DataFrame.fillna` to fill with a single value (or the Series equivalents) (:issue:`55718`)
 - Deprecated :meth:`Index.format`, use ``index.astype(str)`` or ``index.map(formatter)`` instead (:issue:`55413`)
 - Deprecated :meth:`Series.ravel`, the underlying array is already 1D, so ravel is not necessary (:issue:`52511`)
+- Deprecated :meth:`Series.view`, use ``astype`` instead to change the dtype (:issue:`20251`)
 - Deprecated ``core.internals`` members ``Block``, ``ExtensionBlock``, and ``DatetimeTZBlock``, use public APIs instead (:issue:`55139`)
 - Deprecated ``year``, ``month``, ``quarter``, ``day``, ``hour``, ``minute``, and ``second`` keywords in the :class:`PeriodIndex` constructor, use :meth:`PeriodIndex.from_fields` instead (:issue:`55960`)
