Adam Levine, an original coach on The Voice who won the show three times, is set to return as a coach for Season 27 in 2025 after leaving the show in 2019. He will be joined by new coach Kelsea Ballerini, as well as returning coaches John Legend and Michael Bublé.
The Voice premiered in 2011 with original coaches including Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, and CeeLo Green, and features blind auditions, battles, knockout rounds, and live performances. The show was the most-watched alternative series in the 2023-24 broadcast season and was created by John de Mol, produced by MGM Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television, Warner Horizon, and ITV Studios The Voice USA, Inc.
Kelsea Ballerini, known for her bold and innovative approach as a crossover artist, will join Season 27 as a full-season coach, having previously served as a battle advisor and temporary coach on earlier seasons.
Reba and Snoop have joined the judges' panel of The Voice for the upcoming season, and the current 26th season features coaches Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire, and Gwen Stefani.
Levine trained three winners during his 16 seasons on the show, and fans enjoyed his dynamic with Blake Shelton, who left the show after Season 23 in 2023.
Kelly Clarkson will serve as a key adviser on The Voice starting on October 30.
Levine appeared on The Voice in May 2023 to perform with Maroon 5 and debut their latest single 'Middle Ground,' which carries a message of fragility and humanity.
Asher HaVon, a gospel singer, won Season 25 of The Voice as part of Team Reba.
Fans and the show are excited about Adam Levine's return to The Voice, as he has a long history as a coach on the show since its inception in 2011.
The introduction of the new Cross Battle rounds on The Voice also stirred up controversy, and fellow coaches, including Blake Shelton, joined in teasing Levine about his new look.
Levine's return is unexpected, given the circumstances of his exit from the show in 2019, as he faced criticism for his coaching decisions and a lackluster performance at the Upfronts.
Levine mentioned on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that he misses The Voice but enjoys spending time with his family.
Season 27 of The Voice is set to premiere in the spring of 2025, with Season 26 airing in the fall of 2024.
